  1. GROUP 2

  2. Step 1 • Barunda= regional economic community-AEEP may favour regional initiatives • Characteristics • region with energy demand exceeding supply worse into the future without intervention • Region with low electrification levels • Lack of affordable modern energy sources- electricity, LPG • High dependence on traditional biomass & low quality fuels such as kerosene • Energy price distortion • Low usage of renewable energy such as solar • Poor institutional arrangements for energy management • Low technical skills for the energy sector

  3. Energy needs • Need more electricity generation capacity • Need more resources for investment • Need alternative options for rural electrification • Need clean & adequate energy for cooking • Need policy implementation aimed at improving and increasing use of renewable energy technologies • Need political will in meeting energy demands • Need for capacity –technical and institutional • Need for awareness through the energy sector chain from policy makers, suppliers/producers to consumers

  4. Critical derivations • Barunda is in serious energy security situation • Barunda is far from providing modern energy services to its population • Barunda will need investment resources to meet energy security & access • Barunda is in need of political will and capacity to achieve the above • In preference- Groups settles for how to address the access to modern energy services

  5. Important needs for Intervention Improving access to modern energy services in Rural and Peri-Urban areas

  6. Relevant energy technologies to satisfy access to modern energy services • Multifunctional Platforms using biofuels/oils • Deployment of solar energy technologies • Application of low H/H electrification technologies • Grid extension for rural electrification ( also includes peri-urban)-with option to integrate grid and off grid electrification • Hybrid minigrid systems • Favoured option is the grid extension

  7. Grid extension characteristics • Technology availability • Investment cost • Fuels-imports/local resources • Environmental impacts • O&M • Ownership • Social Issues • Other Issues • Not a problem • High and Prohibitive • Local resources abundant for generation • Impacts often addressed in the feasibility studies • Costs and skills known • Mainly govt funded through Utilities • Positive social benefits • No guarantee for connections and consumptions by intended consumers-high upfront costs

  8. Quoted costs per km of grid extension US$3000/km Who fundsMainly government funded >80%EU & UN often capacity buildingWorld bank- infrastructure loansprivate sector entering generation but not grid extensionHow to access funding Develop bankable proposals to secure bilateral/ multilateral funding

  9. Other regional issues • Priority of energy in PRSP-low • Implementation • Rule of law/ good governance • Some countries moving to development and growth strategies/Plans where energy is recognized. • Will mainly be Government through power utilities

  10. Capacity Needs • Training in developing bankable project proposals-proposal writing • Identification & matching of various funding sources • Development of investment plans • Energy Balance and planning & related Data collection • Integrated resource planning • Project Management for energy projects • More engineers & O&M technical expertise • M&E expertise for tracking projects performance • High level sensitization on opportunities-politicians & parliamentarians • Leadership role for institutions • Policy Formulation e.g. For RETS feeding into grid.

  11. Information Needs • Success stories from other countries and initiatives • Willingness to pay studies of extending grid • Flow of information from national to local govts&vice versa • Different financial arrangements and how to access financing • Consumer needs assessment • Previous success records • Available working technologies

  12. Current sources of information • Consultancy reports • Departmental reports • Some level of benchmarking • Internet provides broad & general information

  13. What could improve in the exercise • Time allocated was limited • Scope was too wide-on dealing with issues/design and implementation. • Suggested that we work with national experiences in a bottom up approach-citing examples that can be useful
