Strengthening Public-Private Partnerships to  Accelerate Global Electricity Technology Deployment : Recommendations  from the Global Sustainable Electricity Partnership Survey. Montreal : e8 ; UN-Energy, 2011, 56 p.http://www.e8.org/upload/File/Summit%20Meeting/NY%202011/e8-UN-Energy%20Report%20-%20Strengthening%20PPP%20Recommendations.pdfThe e8, a body composed of the leading electricity companies, and  UN-Energy launched the global initiative for strengthening  Public-Private Partnerships to advance sustainable energy development.  The focus of the initiative is to jointly identify effective and  meaningful partnerships that support and promote the global deployment  of low and zero-emitting electricity technologies at country, regional  and global levels. The e8 and its partners have conducted a global survey and analyzed many  submitted case studies highlighting the enabling policies and best  practices of public-private partnerships. The report of these results is  an important element of the initiative and it aims at supporting  countries in making significant progress towards global electricity  access by 2030.At a Global Summit entitled "Global Summit to Strengthen Public-Private  Partnerships to Accelerate Global Electricity Technology Deployment" on 2  June 2011 in New York, top leaders in the public and private sectors  and civil society discussed the issues related to the role of  public-private partnerships best practices to effectively establish  energy policies; the importance of long term stable policy frameworks to  meet goals; and the integration of partnerships into electricity and  energy services development plans.The e8, UN-Energy and its partners believe that increased energy access  through technology deployment plans with enabling public policies, and  an attractive financial risk-reward atmosphere created by public-private  partnerships, will enable countries in achieving the Millennium  Development Goals.
