4EM-MCP: Energy Efficient Electric Motor Systems in New Member and Candidate Countries

The Motor Challenge Programme with its Tool Set provides a powerful tool for an integrated approach to overcome barriers to energy efficiency based on: - boosting the European framework to encourage decision makers to adopt energy savings measures; - raising awareness of the potential for energy and money saving measures; - focusing on the performance of entire systems, so as to provide maximum reliability, quality of service and cost effectiveness; - making a wide range of information tools available; - providing public recognition of the efforts made by companies through use of the MCP Logo, catalogues, etc. 4EM-MCP, as the MCP extension to New Member and Candidate Countries, was designed to focus on disseminating, extending and applying MCP tools through national programmes in the countries of Central and Eastern Europe, in order to build capacity there and to raise energy efficiency awareness of policy makers and industry in this area by: dissemination, evaluation tools, market investigation and evaluation of energy efficiency potential, enterprise interventions. Pre-existent MCP Tool Set was adapted to the local economic, technological, social & geographical situations.
