The role of micro-, small and medium enterprises (MSME) in delivering energy-efficient products and in providing renewable energy equipment can become crucial in the post-COVID-19 (coronavirus) recovery phase if they are provided with necessary incentives. This can be one of the ways to restart MSME or even create new ones when job opportunities are scarce. The study includes an analysis of the environment that MSMEs face as a result of COVID-19; best practices in the area of energy efficiency and renewable energy that show how MSME may respond; measures that MSME can undertake in delivering energy-efficient products, and recommendations on creating an environment for MSME to facilitate an economic recovery in line with the Sustainable Development Goals.
