EEP Knowledge Exchange Forum Dar es Salaam, 3 rd December 2015 Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Architecture in the advent of Regional RE/EE Centres in Africa: SACREEE, EACREEE and ECREEE 1
Global Network of Regional Sustainable Energy Centers 2
UNIDO supports regional organizations in the creation and operation of regional sustainable energy centres
- Sub-network Africa - Sub-network SIDS 4
Assumptions and Rationale on Regional Centres Assist countries to translate adopted SE policies and targets into real investments, markets and business Leave nobody behind and address common barriers more effectively through regional exchange and methodologies Strengthen regional support frameworks and technical capacities to take owner- and leadership in the sector Address the Missing link between international energy and climate commitments and implementation on national level 5
Global network as facilitator for the implementation of Global Agreements on Energy and Climate Change
7
Guiding Principles of the Sustainable Energy Centres Tailored to the individual regional needs Demand driven and ownership High level legetimacy Well integrated and use of local systems Small is beautiful and form follows function Network of National Focal Institutions Checks and balances Financial sustainability
Accelerate and complement national efforts through regional interventions
SADC Centre for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency (SACREEE) The Southern African Development Community (SADC) comprises 15 Member States and represents 280 million energy consumers. At the 32nd SADC Ordinary Summit in Maputo, Mozambique, the Ministers of Energy directed the SADC Secretariat to create a regional sustainable energy centre. A baseline report and a needs assessment on the technical and institutional design of the Centre were prepared. The design of the Centre was validated by all Ministries of Energy during a consultative workshop held from 14 to 15 March 2013 in Kempton Park, South Africa, and at a validation workshop held from 18 to 19 July 2013, in Gaborone, Botswana On 24 July 2015 the SADC Ministers responsible for Energy approved SACREEE and nominated Namibia as the host country of the Secretariat of the centre. 10
SACREEE within SADC Energy Sector Structure 11
Vision & Mission Statement of SACREEE The Vision of SACREEE Increased access to modern energy services and energy security through the adoption of renewable energy, energy efficient technologies and energy services in SADC Member States, thereby supporting the Region s economic and social development. The Mission of SACREEE Promoting market based adoption of renewable energy and energy efficiency technologies and energy services in SADC Member States thereby supporting the Region s sustainable development objectives through: resource mobilisation; policy; quality assurance; capacity building and knowledge management; communication; and investment in renewable energy, energy efficiency projects and programmes. 12
Key Results Areas of SACREEE Policy Frameworks and Quality Assurance Capacity Building for Market Players and Enablers Promoting Investments in Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Projects Knowledge Management and Communication 13
Knowledge Management and Communication Result Area: Availability of RE&EE market data improved and awareness raised Outputs: A RE&EE information management system for the Region established Awareness of renewable energy and energy efficiency raised Key Activities: Compile an inventory of relevant experiences/projects and papers/study reports/research reports and documents on best practices, skills, know how, knowledge, technology suppliers in host country (disseminated through the information system) Create a database of renewable energy and energy efficiency businesses contacts Build an online renewable energy resources atlas for the Region and link it to other global atlases Create knowledge products on demand Produce a status report of renewable energy and energy efficiency industry in SADC and regularly update it Act as focal point for the implementation of the SE4ALL Initiative in Southern Africa 14
Knowledge Management Services on Regional Centres 15
ECOWAS Observatory for RE&EE Model RE&EE market data for investors and developers GIS Maps on RE potentials, and other planning data (power lines, roads, existing and planned power stations and systems) Ongoing Initiatives (GEF, ACP-EU Facility, ECREEE) Country profiles and statistics Document library (studies, policies, project documents) http://www.ecowrex.org WWW.ECREEE.ORG
SACREEE/EACREEE Knowledge Management Services: Additional Considerations Provide information on regulatory requirements in an easily accessible repository Procedures of RE project in each country on the observatory Potential investment partners (Private Sector; Public Sector; PPP) Equipment Suppliers and Service Providers in each of the countries in the respective Regions and globally Linkages with other networks (COMESA, SARDC, NEPAD/AU, etc.) Act as a one stop shop for RE/EE market and investment knowledge and intelligence 17
