What is NDEP? • Multi-donor Fund set up in 2001. Mandate recently extended until 2022. • EBRD acts as Fund Manager. Other IFIs include NIB, NEFCO, EIB and KfW • Contributions are used as grants to finance loan-based concrete investment projects • Two windows of activities: - nuclear and environmental
Barents Sea NDEP projects in the Baltic & Barents Sea region • Baltic Sea ● Vitebsk ● Grodno ● Brest
NDEP (1) Nuclear window • Andreeva Bay • Decommissioning of buildings and transportation of SNF from 22,000 spent fuel assemblies • Lepse • Dismantling of the Lepse ship and removal of SNF • Papa class nuclear powered submarine reactors defueling
NDEP (2) Environmental window • Water and Wastewater treatment • Energy Efficiency and District Heating • Municipal Solild Waste Management
Investment leverage of NDEP grants • NDEP grants of EUR 130m leverage: 425 MEUR of IFI loans 648 MEUR of national Russian & Belarusian budget funds 1.3 billion of EURO overall investment costs • NDEP grant of 1 EURO leverages: 3.3 EUR of IFI loan funds 5 Euro of national funds 100 Euro of overall investment
Environmental leverage of NDEP grants • The NDEP projects in Russia can deliver phosphorous reductions of 1,859 tonnes per year (30% of total P discharges by Russia). • For Belarus, NDEP projects can deliver phosporous reductions are 1,660 tonnes per year (21% of total P discharges by Belarus) • The costs of reducing one tonne of phosphorus load through NDEP in Russia and Belarus is around 20% of the cost incurred in Finland, Sweden or Germany.
Why is NDEP successful? • LIGHT AND TRANSPARENT GOVERNANCE STRUCTURE Rules of the Fund + Assembly + Steering Group • COOPERATION OF EQUAL PARTNERS Donors (including Russia/Belarus) + IFIs + Clients • FOCUS ON PROJECTS AND HIGH STANDARDS Project driven partnership with projects implemented to the highest international standards of the Implementing Agencies (EBRD, EIB, NIB, NEFCO, KfW)
Why is NDEP needed? • Energy Efficiency investments in the Russian Euro-Arcticwill produce environmental benefits when outdated heating facilities are modernized. • Black carbon is 2,000 times more dangerous to the Arctic ice than CO2. In Barents Euro-Arctic region 75% of black carbon emissions come from coal/mazut fired boilers. • There is still vast potential to improve water and wastewater treatment and solid waste management in north-west Russia (small municipalities) and in Belarus.
