JOB SUMMARY

1. Office/Unit/Project Description

UNDP is the UN’s global development network, an organization advocating for change and connecting countries to knowledge, experience and resources to help people build

a better life.

In Turkey, 47% of net electricity consumption is from the industrial sector, with an estimated 70% of this energy consumption from electric motor-driven systems (EMDS), 90% of which use 3-phase squirrel cage asynchronous motors as defined in the EU Eco-design Implementing Measure 640/2009 on electric motors as amended by Implementing Measure 4/2014. Electric motors in Turkey, in general, are not energy efficient.

The project “Promoting Energy-Efficient Motors in Small and Medium Sized Enterprises (SMEs) in Turkey” otherwise known as TEVMOT Project aims to promote significant additional investment in industrial energy efficiency in Turkey by transforming

the market for energy-efficient motors used in small and medium sized SMEs. This objective will be achieved by strengthening the legislative and regulatory framework related to both new and existing EE motors in Turkey, developing governance and information infrastructure, upgrading test laboratories at the Turkish Standards Institution (TSI), launching a “one-stop-shop” sustainable financial support mechanism, and developing and implementing a comprehensive public awareness and training program.

The project is divided into five components focusing on:

Component 1: Strengthened legislative and regulatory and policy framework for EE motors in Turkey.

Component 2: Capacity building for relevant stakeholders to promote

the benefits of EE motors.

Component 3: Upgraded Turkish Standards Institute (TSI) test laboratory and strengthened monitoring, verification and enforcement.

Component 4: One-stop-shop for financial support mechanisms.

Component 5: Knowledge management and M&E
