2.5 The solar PV Targeted Market Approach Implementation of the PVTMA activities continued with funding from the Government of Uganda while at the same time fulfilling requirements for effectiveness of the PVTMA to access ERTII funds. During the financial year under review, installation of solar PV systems continued through Post Bank and FINCA Uganda and a few rural financial institutions (SACCOs). A total of about UGX 48 million was disbursed to FINCA to subsidize household solar PV installations making a cumulative total of about USD 155,000 in consumer subsidies so far disbursed under PVTMA. To date, a total of 2,173 solar home systems have been installed through PVTMA arrangements,

to bring the total number of installed solar PV systems since the start of ERT to about 10,000

ANNUAL RURAL ELECTRIFICATION REPORT 2010/11 R U Y 19 R C MINISTRY OF ENERGY AND MINERAL DEVELOPMENT A N L E G EL A CT N RIFICATIO 2.5.1 Progress on the ERTII Solar PV Component During the year under review, REA recruited dedicated staff to implement scaled up PVTMA activities; these include the PV Project Officer and PV Microfinance Coordinator. As required for effectiveness of PVTMA under ERT II funding, the PVTMA guidelines were developed and approved by the World Bank in November 2010. This set the platform for the implementation of the PVTMA activities elaborated below. (a) Identification of participating financial institutions Four additional Regulated Financial Institutions namely, Uganda Finance Trust, Centenary Rural Development Bank, Opportunity Uganda and United Bank for Africa have been approved to participate in the PVTMA program. This will widen the targeted consumer base. To further widen outreach, especially in rural areas, REA sought to partner with Micro Finance Support Centre Limited (MSCL) to accelerate solar PV uptake by subsidizing members of the SACCOs who borrow to purchase solar PV systems. The partnership has been approved by both institutions. MSCL has funds available to provide wholesale funds to SACCOs. (b) Prequalification of solar PV companies Through open bidding, 19 REA Eligible solar Enterprises (REES) were prequalified. The prequalified companies have been approved to operate in areas where they have rural presence. This is mainly to enhance quick delivery of solar PV installations, maintenance and after sales for the installed systems. The prequalification exercise is designed to be flexible and ongoing to allow new companies to participate and old ones open up new outlets. Support is available at Private Sector Foundation Uganda to offer business development services to REES open up new outlets.

(c) Public awareness, education and stakeholder consultations To encourage participation in the PVTMA, workshops were held for financial institutions and solar PV companies. In addition, targeted field visits were made to identify rural based solar companies to participate in the programme. One-on-one meetings were held as well as radio announcements on local FM stations were placed throughout the country. Out of the 19 prequalified companies at least five companies are fully rural based while three have more than 2 regional offices or franchises. Regional awareness campaigns for participating financial institutions in conjunction with Micro Finance Support Centre have been scheduled in the coming year. (d) Promotion of Fee-for service model One solar company, Foundation for Rural Energy Services (FRES), expressed interest to provide solar PV installations to rural households on a fee-for-service model. REA will arrange to provide capital subsidies to FRES in accordance with the PVTMA guidelines. (e) Quality Management

(i) End-user audit and verification of solar PV installations

R ANNUAL RURAL ELECTRIFICATION REPORT 2010/11 U Y R C 20 A N MINISTRY OF ENERGY AND MINERAL DEVELOPMENT L E G EL A CT N RIFICATIO As an interim measure, end-user audit and verification of PV installations continued with three individual auditors recruited by REA from the list of auditors that were operating under ERTI. During the FY under review, procurement of end-user audit and verification firm commenced. A new firm is expected on board well in time before expiry of the current auditors’ contracts. (ii) Standards for solar lanterns Solar lanterns that had been awarded at the Lighting Africa experience were approved for inclusion on the subsidy programme. As a basis to include other lanterns on the programme, REA has partnered with UNBS, through a Memorandum of Understanding, to develop standards for solar lanterns. (iii) PV Steering Committee To enhance coordination in the solar PV sector and oversee progress of implementation of PVTMA activities, a PV Steering Committee (PVSC) was instituted comprising of members drawn from key facilitating stakeholders in the PV industry. (iv) Solar PV database To effectively manage solar PV data and ensure easy monitoring and quick reporting, REA obtained a copy of the solar PV database developed in ERT I from PSFU, upgraded, configured and installed the database on REA’s server for use under PVTMA.

Rural electrification is also impacted by social and political issues. One aspect is the local community-level problems associated with the right of way for electricity lines as they traverse the countryside. The other aspect is the politics surrounding electricity, whereby political leaders want their constituencies prioritized for service, thus exerting undue pressure on the responsible institutions inspite of the limited resources. These issues form the basis of the issues which have been encountered during the period of reporting. The very issues are highlighted below.

6.1 Implementation constraints

6.1.1 Issues of way leaves and compensation: While it is expected that private rights should give way on occasion to the wider public interest, it is not always the case. REA continues to experience resistance from some communities on the issue to the extent of blocking construction works. Some sections of the public tend to view rural electrification schemes as away to make quick gains especially when asked to consent to routing power lines through their land. They often make exorbitant claims for compensation in total disregard of approved district compensation, as a result some projects have been held up while the Agency and Local

Authorities try to negotiate for way leaves. The biggest source of conflict is the fact that most people affected expect and demand for upfront payment before commencement of the project. However, the compensation process is rather lengthy due to the fact that REA has to adhere to acceptable Government procedures which involve claim verification and clearances by institutions outside the Agency including the Government Valuer and Auditor General. It is important to note that as a rule, Government has to compensate those individuals whose property (crops, plantations, buildings, etc) has been affected. However an increased compensation bill directly affects the Agency’s role out programme since money is used for compensation of way leaves damages instead of being utilized for construction of more power lines. 6.1.2 Cost of investment and Connection rates: Connection rates often remain low long after a project is completed even up to a period of two years. Experience shows that in areas where schemes have been constructed, only about 10% of the originally projected consumers get connected. In order to cure this problem, REA introduced the concept of community contributions for the low voltage network (detailed under 6.2). However, the community leadership in most cases has not been able to mobilize the communities to make the necessary contributions once REA has communicated the costs of these schemes to them.

6.1.3 Increasing demand for electricity: There is a lot of pressure from leaders and communities to have electricity extended to their areas. Focus is particularly on grid-extension, whether it makes financial/economic sense or not. Yet, much of the demands could be met by other means, like solar electrification (Solar PV Systems). With the publication of the recently finished Rural Electrification Master Plan, we have rationalized our planning perspective. However, the bottom line is that these pressures can only be addressed if there are reasonable financial resources to extend either grid or off-grid power.

6.1.4 Inadequate local private sector capacity in the power industry: One of the challenges the programme has experienced is that of inadequate local capacity to invest (especially in renewable energy projects) and

undertake construction of infrastructure. This has resulted into the bulk of renewable energy projects supported

ANNUAL RURAL ELECTRIFICATION REPORT 2010/11 R U Y 35 R C MINISTRY OF ENERGY AND MINERAL DEVELOPMENT A N L E G EL A CT N RIFICATIO by the programme being undertaken by foreign developers, limited credible bids for construction works and limited bids for operating built networks and delayed project development processes.

6.1.5 Inadequate productive uses of electricity. Low productive uses of electricity reduce the financial viability of rural electrification initiatives. Because end users are not using the electricity productively, there appears a low demand factor and revenue accruing to the end users remains low. Ultimately, this reduces the economic benefits of the rural electrification. 6.2 Intervention Measures

6.2.1 Community Schemes To be able to reach a wider group REA accepts community initiated schemes. This however only benefits those within a radius of 1 to 2 km. the procedure includes; • Community mobilises itself and sends an expression of interest to REA • Community expresses a willingness to cost share with REA (30/70) and endorses consent in writing • Community must be willing to contribute right of way towards rural electrification project and endorses right of way in writing. • REA appraises schemes for economic viability • REA mobilises for surveys and costing of works • Community makes its contribution to REA’s Account. • REA mobilises for construction of schemes.

6.2.2 Low cost technology (ready boards) REA promotes alternative technologies in addition to the grid including solar energy and low cost wiring using the Ready Board. REA also promotes the use pre paid metering systems so that consumers can better manage their consumption. 6.2.3 OBA (subsidy) Under ERT II, initial consumer subsidies for “immediate connections have been instituted while an output based aid (OBA) Scheme to provide an output-based type of subsidy has also been worked out for consumers who cannot pay for connection within the first 18 months of the commissioning of a project. The OBA Scheme is a 4-year project funded by the World Bank (IDA), the Global Partnership on Output-Based Aid (GPOBA), the Government of Uganda and the German Financial Cooperation (KfW). The project aims at connecting about 132,500 low-income Ugandan households (or approximately, 655,000 beneficiaries) to electricity grids throughout Uganda, in rural, peri-urban and urban areas. 6.2.4 Corporate social responsibility, Community consultations and awareness creation processes Continuous community sensitization and negotiations on the various conflicts related to way leaves and compensation does make a difference. Many times some of the conflict is politically motivated and REA has to continually visit projects areas to re-assure the communities until the compensations are made. In addition REA endeavours to extend Corporate Social Responsibility (CPR) to the communities they work in order to gain community confidence in the projects and also solicit the necessary support. The Agency supports causes, seminars and gives tips o productive use of energy through seminars and radio talk shows

and advertisements.

R ANNUAL RURAL ELECTRIFICATION REPORT 2010/11 U Y R C 36 A N MINISTRY OF ENERGY AND MINERAL DEVELOPMENT L E G EL A CT N RIFICATIO 7.0 CONCLUSION

The 2010/2011 Financial Year marked several milestones. REA managed to clear a backlog of way leaves compensations. This helped reduce the conflicts that were arising as a result of delayed payments. New initiatives were also started to try and increase the number of connections within the REA projects area. An ouput based aid (OBA) scheme subsidy has been initiated to enhance connections for those who have not made connections to the grid 18 months after the commissioning of a project. The Financial Year also saw the several development partners coming on board to fund the rural electrification programme including the Norwegian Government, KfW, the Saudi Fund for Development (SFD) and the Arab Bank for Economic development in Africa (BADEA). This is in addition to other funders the Agency has always had on board including the Government of Uganda, the World Bank, JICA and Sida. It is the Agency’s sincere hope that the lessons learnt and the experience gained during this financial year will

be used to put in place the right mechanisms for a successful Rural Electrification Programme in future.
