Bank Engagement on DSM The World Bank and IFC have worked on several DSM projects, in most cases with GEF funding. Table 5.2 summarizes 12 of these.
Many of the World Bank Group’s DSM projects have attempted to estimate the CO2 reductions resulting from the project. Table 5.2 provides an indication of the range of emission reductions

n.a.
Note: n.a. = Not available. a. From Implementation Completion Report reviews. b. In Thailand, the utility, EGAT, funded DSM through a special, government-authorized tariff charge during the project period. Since the project ended, EGAT began funding DSM from its regular tariff revenue and funding has decreased for the most part. Thus, the regulations support DSM but fall short of requiring it. c. In Vietnam, several laws and decrees support DSM and require the government to consider it. There appear to be no requirements for the utility to invest in DSM. d. Uruguay is evaluating several options for regulatory support of DSM as part of the project, including a system benefit charge or an obligation to include financially attractive DSM measures in utility investment plans.
