Abstract

This paper explores the potential of innovative financing tools to foster the implementation of energy efficiency measures such as thermal insulation, using the example of two regions in Kyrgyzstan. The country is challenged by cold winters, national energy crises and poorly insulated housing inherited from Soviet times. Based on a household survey the paper investigates the problem of climate vulnerability and high energy expenditures on household level, identifies financing gaps for investments into efficiency measures and discusses financing tools to address them, such as green microfinance. The results of the study show that there is a considerable potential for market-based approaches if they target a more efficient use of thermal energy in households, particularly for space heating.
