Learning from Cape Verde’s Renewable Energy Plan Anildo Costa, Consultant to the Government of Cape Verde 4. Learning from Kenya’s Clean Energy Plan Esther Wang’ombe, Government of Kenya 5. Q& A 6. Survey LEDS Global Partnership International initiative aiming to harness the collective knowledge and resources of governments, donors, international organizations, and practitioners in scaling up and strengthening implementation of climate-resilient low emission development around the world. Launched in 2011, the LEDS GP now catalyzes action and collaboration across more than 120 countries and international organizations. Energy Working Group (EWG) The EWG promotes low-emission and climate- resilient development in the energy sector through a work program focused on learning and information exchange, sharing best practices, advisory services, and providing enhanced opportunities for coordination and collaboration. Objectives . Strengthen support for LEDS in energy sector . Mobilize capacity and advance peer-to-peer learning and collaboration on low emission energy development . Improve coordination of energy-related LEDS at the country, regional, and global levels Energy Working Group Activities Current work plan, highlights Webinars: • Best Practices in Gathering and Using Energy Data for LEDS Development (April) • Energy LEDS in Asia (Oct.) • Energy LEDS in LAC (Nov.) • Energy LEDS in Africa (Jan.) Events: • LEDS GP Annual Event, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia (August): - Energy Peer Learning Session For African Countries - Energy Sector Strategies and Policy Portfolios Session • LEDS LAC Regional Forum 2013 2015 work plan, highlights: • Energy & Development World Atlas • Energy Toolkit • Energy Data Crowdsourcing Project • Energy LEDS Training Camp • Energy Policy Development Group Introduction to AfLP & Overview of the Regional Energy Developments John Yeboah ECREEE EWG co-Chair Africa LEDS Partnership Introduction • While this module uses Africa-wide data, emphasis is placed on sub-Saharan Africa because of the low access levels of modern source of energy especially for the poor • The module recognises that the availability of modern, reliable and efficient energy services is an important and indeed essential driver for economic development • Most countries in Africa are faced with a major challenge in trying to achieve their development and social obligations because of inadequate access to modern energy services • Majority of the population still depend on traditional biomass, which often has adverse environmental and health impacts • Governments in the region also invest more in conventional energy sources rather than in renewable energy sources (RES) Africa LEDS Partnership Formation . Response to growing interest of the countries designing and implementing their own LEDS . First convening workshop held in Kinshasa, DRC on April 1, 2014 . Built on the work of Africa Climate and Development Society (formed October 2012) . Brought together low emission development leaders from 20 African countries and international participants Africa LEDS Partnership Priority Working Areas 1. Energy: • Develop and share case examples of energy sector LEDS in the various countries. • Capacity building on developing LEDS and NAMAs for the energy sector • Document and share good practices and toolkits on RE grid & mini-grid integration Africa LEDS Partnership Priority Working Areas 2. Communication: • Share communication materials on benefits of LEDS and enable peer exchange and technical assistance through communication. 3. LEDS infrastructural financing: • Share leading examples of approaches across African countries for financing LEDS related infrastructure (transport, electricity, waste, agriculture, etc.) Overview of the Regional Energy Developments Energy in Africa African Countries (specific Characteristics): • Many Economies are classed as LDCs • Economic growth and rural developments predominates national goals • Affordable, reliable, clean energy is critical to maintain pace of inclusive development • Conventional energy sources are limited and require large investments and natural resources Overview of the Regional Energy Developments Importance of Energy in Africa • Reduce poverty & create new economic opportunities • Increase Energy security & economic development • Enhance industrial/resource efficiency & productivity (productive use of energy) • Reduce GHG emissions & improve climate resilience • Minimizes rural-urban migration • Provides pathway for new employment facilities Electricity Access in Africa Electricity Access in Africa Electricity Access in 2014 600 599 Africa (Total) North Africa Sub-Saharan Africa 99 43 31.8 1 % of Population with Access No. of People Without Access (millions) Electricity Generation Electricity Generation by Source in Sub- Saharan Africa in 2012 Others 1% Oil 9% Hydro Gas 22% 9% Nuclear 3% Coal 56% Investments in Energy Supply Trends in Regional LEDS Energy Development Clean Energy (RE and EE) Programs: • Zambia - low emission development projects • Kenya - The National Energy Act 2006 • Cape Verde – vision 2020 • Cote D’Ivoire - climate resilient programs • Ethiopia - CRGE initiative • Botswana - village electrification project • Cameroon - off-grid dev’t projects • Malawi - local dev’t fund for SHS, micro hydro plant Trends in Regional LEDS Energy Development Regional & National LEDS Energy Policies and Legislative Frameworks: • ECOWAS RE & EE Policy & NREAPs and NEEAPs • Cameroon - Climate finance legislation • Ethiopia - Climate Resilience and Green Economy initiative (CRGE) • Gabon - National legislation on sustainable forest exploitation • Zambia - National legislation on LEDS activities • Kenya - National CC Action Plan • South Africa - National CC response policy Learning from Cape Verde’s Renewable Energy Plan Anildo Costa Energy Consultant Cabo Verde Coordination Group on Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency CABO VERDE OVERVIEW 10 islands, 9 inhabited – 9 Energy Systems Production: ~400 GWh, 20% from Renewables Area: 4,033 km2 Life Expectancy: 76 years Population: ~ 500 000 Literacy Rate: 87% for adults, 99% for young GDP per capita: ~ 3,800 US$ Active Population with Medium or Higher Access to Electricity: ~95% Education: ~ 15% ( > 7 Medium or Higher Education Institutions) Access to modern energy for cooking: ~65% Installed Capacity: ~150 kW of which 35 MW Renewables (~23%) Energy in Cape Verde: Past and Presence 9 SMALL AND DISPERSED ENERGY SYSTEMS POWER PLANTS INSTALLED CAPACITY - MAINLY DIESEL (ALSO WIND AND SOME SOLAR PV) Installed Santo Antão Eólico 1 MW Capacity Population 2010 2013 1 MW 0,6 Sal MW 7,65 São Vicente Eólico 8,25 MW (MW) Solar 2,5 MW MW Eólico 6,25 MW 2,5 São Nicolau MW 43.915 Potência 0,3 Santo Antão 6,0 6,0 MW MW 5,95 MW 0 - 5 2,55 6 - 10 MW São Vicente 76.107 19,4 19,4 11 - 20 21 - 30 31 - 40 São Nicolau 12.817 2,2 3,2 Tecnologia Eólica Boavista Solar Eólico 2,55 MW Outros projectos1 Sal 25.765 16,9 20,4 Santiago Rede Eólico 9,4 MW 20 kV Solar 5 MW Maio 9.162 1 Boavista 4,5 17,0 Microgeração, iluminação pública fotolvoltaica, sistemas isolados fotovoltaicos e micro- hídrica 6.952 Fogo Maio 1,4 1,0 9,4 273.919 MW Santiago 46,9 69,7 Brava Eólico 0,15 MW 5 0,15 M MW Fogo 37.051 3,8 3,2 W Brava 5.995 1,1 0,9 Energy in Cape Verde: Past and Presence GROSS ENERGY CONSUMPTION - EVOLUTION GWh Wood Gross Year Butane Kerosene Gasoline Gasoil Fuel oil JET A1 Wind Solar fuel Energy 2010 134,0 7,5 87,8 936,8 621,0 195,7 2,0 2,1 348,9 2.335,8 2011 136,0 7,5 87,7 990,2 640,3 228,4 15,6 9,0 357,0 2.471,6 2012 133,3 6,2 83,1 909,1 573,9 226,1 61,4 7,5 365,2 2365,7 2013 134,2 5,7 84,1 804,8 615,5 208,6 70,7 7,3 373,3 2.304,2 Energy in Cape Verde: Past and Presence GROSS ENERGY CONSUMPTION - SHARES NET ENERGY CONSUMPTION - SHARES Clean Energy Programs and Policies: Present Program 2008: Cabo Verde Energy Policy Energy Security and Energy Independence Sustainability (Economic, Financial and Environmental) Efficiency (Energy and Economic) Promotion of Renewable Energy (50% of Electricity from Renewable in 2020) Main Instruments Decree Law 1/2011: Define General Condition and Incentives for Renewable Energy (Taxes, Environmental
