Energy Efficiency and Public Policy: Pathways to Reducing Costs and Emissions
São Paulo is the first Brazilian state to establish a comprehensive Energy Plan, with energy efficiency as one of its key strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and optimize resource use. This panel will discuss São Paulo’s case studies—such as the Energy Efficiency Guarantee Fund and the pilot project for efficient public lighting implemented in the city of Miracatu—as model initiatives. The conversation will also explore technical, regulatory, and economic challenges, as well as the role of public policies, incentives, and financing mechanisms in scaling up energy efficiency projects.
