Energy-saving measures are a key approach to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and often offer simultaneous cost-savings. The CTCN collaborates with industries, organisations and research institutions all over the world to bring energy efficiency technology solutions for mitigating climate change. Together with network members we bring technical assistance to countries such as Uganda, Jordan and the Seychelles for formulation of national electricity grid codes, rehabilitation of district heating systems and other technology solutions on national, industry and community level. Below you will find related publications, partners, CTCN technical assistance, technologies and other information for exploring this topic further.

Context
Botswana's energy capacity is thermal, mainly coal-fired, with some small diesel generators in rural areas. The bulk of domestic electricity production is generated by the Morupule coal-fired station; 20% is thermal while only 0,1% was from solar energy in 2016. Botswana has no hydro-electric power resources.

Context
Just over one fifth of households in Lesotho have access to electricity. The adoption of energy efficient technologies beyond lighting has consequently been low in Lesotho to date. Opportunities for adoption of efficient products have been limited due to a range of reasons that include high levels of poverty and cultural factors, particularly in rural areas.
