First Call for Proposals for Renewable Energy, Waste-to-Energy and Energy Efficiency Projects, 15 October to 31 December 2009

EEP Mekong first call for proposals : Nine projects pre-selected

The Second Steering Committee Meeting was held on 3-4 May in Siem Reap, Cambodia, a much-anticipated event given the enthusiastic response to EEP Mekong First Call for Proposals. Regarding the First Call, the Nordic Development Fund Representative expressed his satisfaction to have received such a large number of projects out of which many are of extremely good quality. That definitely reflects the relevance of the Partnership in the region.

As expected, the highlight of the meeting was the selection of projects proposals that will receive EEP funds. With 162 project proposals received by the Embassy of Finland, it was therefore a challenge for the Steering Committee to choose the very best among them.

Pre-approved project proposals

After almost two days of deliberation, the Steering Committee selected nine (9) project proposals to receive EEP funds provided that their project proponents submit a complete full project proposal document (FPPD) no later than 15 June to the Regional Coordination Unit (RCU). The table below shows the distribution of the pre-approved proposals in terms of country of origin and activities:

Four additional projects pre-selected by EEP Mekong Steering Committee

Four additional projects were pre-selected by EEP Mekong Steering Committee (SC) during its third meeting held on 19-20 August 2010 at the Asian Institute of Technology (AIT), Pathum Thani, Thailand. The proposals for these projects were submitted during EEP Mekong First Call for Proposals which was held from 15 October 2009 to 31 December 2009. Brief details of the four projects are shown below:

*These two projects were requested to merge.
