9. The objective of Bulgaria's Demonstration Zone (DZ) proposal is to overcome barriers to increased energy efficiency and to the associated reductions in GHG emissions. The major barriers include:
(a) Limited experience in incorporating energy efficiency considerations into private and public decision-making;
(b) Little experience in developing and implementing energy efficiency programs;
(c) Uncertainty regarding the energy- and economic-savings that can be expected from different energy products and programs;
(d) An undeveloped infrastructure, including the institutions and individuals needed to deliver the technical, managerial, and financial services required by an energy-efficient society.
10. The objective is to eliminate these barriers through focused, practical subprojects that show how the barriers can be overcome. The objective is national in scope, because the barriers are national. The national government and national enterprises, institutions and non-governmental organizations are partners in the project. Because of financial and human resource limitations, the demonstrations themselves are local in nature. However, the national partners are committed to the rapid dissemination of the lessons learned throughout the country.
