Brazil: Municipal Energy Efficiency

The World Bank Group partnered with the cities of Rio de Janeiro and Belo Horizonte to support their long-term strategies to build low-carbon cities, conducting a study in each city to examine the viability of investments in energy efficiency in the public street lighting sector. These studies looked at the existing institutional and regulatory arrangements and identified opportunities for both public and private investments for the modernization of public street lighting. As a result of this work, both Rio de Janeiro and Belo Horizonte have decided to proceed with implementing energy efficiency projects on a public-private partnership basis.
