NARODOWA AGENCJA POSZANOWANIA ENERGII S.A.
Description of the organisation
Narodowa Agencja Poszanowania Energii S.A. (NAPE) was created in 1994 as an initiative of Polish Energy Conservation Foundation (ECF) as a respond to the growing market demand for energy efficient investments in Poland.
The range of NAPE activity is formed of: services, studies, programs and projects within all energy sectors, with particular emphasis on financial and organizational problems. NAPE’s offer of services is dedicated to resolution of energy supply problems as well as to modernization of existing systems on both supply and demand sides. NAPE serves cities, gminas (Polish local communities), companies, enterprises and budgetary units.
NAPE offers:
- preparation of detailed energy audits.
- studies and energy conservation programs for cities, local communities - gminas and enterprises.
- co-operation with banks in order to identify potential investment in energy field,
- preparation and formation of several financial schemes for implementation for efficient energy projects,
- elaboration of programs and studies within energy conservation for state authorities as Ministries, Agencies and Funds
- services connected with organization of investments such as development of call for tenders, construction supervision, etc.
- assistance in organizing financing and loan procedures.
- negotiation of co-operative links among producers, distributors and consumers.
- organization of advisory points for energy consumers.
- marketing services and economic consulting for producers of energy efficient equipment.
- conducting and organization of courses, training and conferences.
- preparation, distribution and help in implementation of software for analysis and evaluation of energy efficiency projects.
- restructuring and privatization services, legal and organizational consulting for communal enterprises.
The following sectors of country’s economy are under the Agency interest:
- industry
- energy production and district heating
- housing
- building industry
|
- communal, trade and commercial
- agriculture
- transportation

NAPE has collaborated with the PHARE, SAVE and THERMIE Programs as well as with other international financial institutions working in a range of our interest in Poland. This in-depth experience provides NAPE with the vision and perspective needed in implementing projects towards meeting its objectives.
NAPE as member of Consortium BCEOM-MARCH-COVI-GOPA/DECON-ALLPLAN-FORENERG-ETNA-IPARTERV-PETROTECS serves since 1997 the Phare Energy Sectoral Framework Contract in Poland, and in other Eastern European Countries.
Mr Aleksander Panek, President of NAPE, is a Chairman of Polish Team of “Green Building Challenge” managed by International Initiative for Sustainable Built Environment (iiSBE) and member of International Framework Committee.
List of most relevant projects
European Green Cities Network
Goal: EGCN goal is accelerating the development towards sustainable urban housing by achieving two main objectives
- to speed up innovation and
- to stimulate market development.
The solutions provided for efficient space heating, cooling, ventilation, lighting systems, domestic appliances, and integration of renewable into buildings, etc. are continuously being improved, however the improvements do not always reach full market effect why there is an urgent need to emphasise demonstration, dissemination and development of the latest technologies to both the supply and demand side of the market for sustainable urban housing. If the current level of information could be lifted into the mass market, obvious socio-economic gains are awaiting and a substantial amount of energy can be saved. Especially in NAS partner countries there is a great potential for technology transfer and substantial awareness lift as well as social and community gains for a new enlarged EU.
Demohouse STREP – NAPE is Polish partner in the project
Goal: The aim of the project is to develop minimum standards and recommendations in connection to healthy, cost effective, energy efficient and sustainable rehabilitation and to agree on actual quality agreements in this field. It is here the intention to realise a common action that can make a real difference in Europe. It is aimed in the project to initiate important quality oriented R&D and demonstration activities concerning eco-rehabilitation and best available retrofitting techniques on a European scale by initiating R&D activities, which will later be tested in connection to real renovation projects. In fact, these are “full size prototype” tests, which can be monitored in a realistic environment and improved before the developed technologies are implemented on a larger scale.
GREEN Catalogue (Global Renewable Energy Efficient Neighbourhoods)
Goal: The idea of the project is to define a status for approximately best practice technologies and then to agree on which indicators are important to be able to check the quality of the technologies. Among the technologies considered in the project there are: insulation, energy efficient windows, heat recovery ventilation,, solar DHW construction, PV-installations, biomass heating system , heat pumps, CHP, water savings, and others. All together there are 25 different technologies. It is intended to let a working group of experienced partners concerning practical use of RUE and RES in buildings receive a feedback concerning this from 180-200 producers, builders, cities, offices, and energy companies. It is aimed that at least two producers of each of the best practice technologies will give an input to the project. As a whole it is aimed that at least 20 organisations from each country will give an input to the project, an input that at the same time will ensure that they will have influence in the results. The proposed work will be very relevant in connection to the common EU building directive where a common methodology will be introduced, e.g. for buildings regulations in the EU countries. In the "Green Catalogue" differently quality levels are introduced for a large number of best practice technologies and these can that in connection to the new building regulation be used as input for implementation and creation of a market for energy efficient buildings.
Green Solar Regions
Goal: The main idea was to present a project where authorities, builders and energy specialists from the Copenhagen regions are working with the similar professionals from Piemonte and Poland to obtain an opportunity of having optimized solar designs and new developed low electricity ventilation technologies, with a very low electricity consumption, and introduced it into practice.
Project organization: It is 5th Framework Programme, referring to the "Energy, Environment and Sustainable development" theme. The full name of the project is "Optimized Solar heating and Ventilation Design in Copenhagen, Piemonte and Poland". The aim of the project is demonstration, how to optimize use of innovative solar energy technologies together with energy savings and optimized energy supply for different types of buildings.
