ENERGY SECTOR IN EAC Role of Energy Sector Development Objective to facilitate realisation of EAC’s broad objectives of socio- economic development, increased competitiveness, value added production, trade and investment. Development Objective increased access to sufficient, reliable, affordable and environmentally sound energy sources in the Region The sector is organized into three sub-sectors New and Renewable Energy Sources and Energy Conservation and Efficiency Fossil Fuels Power

NEW AND RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES SUBSECTOR Objectives To promote development of New and Renewable Energy Sources for which the region has vast potential but have so far not been adequately exploited To initiate programmes on energy efficiency and conservation To prepare a comprehensive energy conservation and efficiency strategy and plan To prepare a Renewable Energy Master Plan that will feed into the Regional Energy Master Plan

NEW AND RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES SUB-SECTOR Ongoing Activities Regional Strategy on Scaling Up Access to Modern Energy Services in order to achieve the Millennium Development Goals and Poverty Reduction TOR for comprehensive energy conservation and efficiency strategy and plan developed and approved by Sectoral Council – funding being sourced TOR for a Renewable Energy Master Plan that will feed into the Regional Energy Master Plan developed and approved by Sectoral Council – funding being sourced Promotion of Development of Modern Biomass, Wind and Biogas– concept paper prepared and is under discussion with India

STRATEGY ON SCALING UP ACCESS TO MODERN ENERGY SERVICES The Strategy seeks to engage Partner States in an initiative to scale up access to modern energy services to support the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals and poverty reduction. The Strategy focuses on four key targets: Access to modern cooking practices for 50% of traditional biomass users Access to reliable modern energy services for all urban and peri-urban poor Access to electricity for all schools, clinics, hospitals and community centres Access to mechanical power within the community for all productive services Recruitment of a Project Development Officer to coordinate implementation of the Strategy is underway – funded by Royal Norwegian Government A Programme Coordination Unit (PCU) headed by a Programme Manager will be set up at the Secretariat

FOSSIL FUELS SUB-SECTOR Objectives To promote all aspects of fossil fuel sub sector To promote petroleum exploration, production and development To prepare a Fossil Fuel Master Plan that will appraise all aspects of fossil fuel sub sector formulate a comprehensive plan for fossil fuel development, utilization and conservation determine demand, procurement, marketing and supply structure of fossil fuels in East Africa develop strategies for promotion of exploration of hydrocarbons in the Partner States

Oil and Gas Pipeline Projects Extension of Eldoret-Kampala Oil Pipeline ongoing and expected to be completed last qtr 2010. Kampala- Kigali - Bujumbura Oil Pipeline Feasibility Study for Kampala - Kigali portion expected to commence before end of June 2009 Funding being for feasibility study for Kigali-Bujumbura portion is being arranged with AfDB Dar es Salaam – Tanga – Mombasa Natural Gas Pipeline Feasibility study is funded by AfDB under a grant of USD 561,700 Preparation of procurement documents ongoing Feasibility Study expected to commence by October 2009

Refineries Development Strategy Strategy on Development of Regional Refineries finalized in 2008 EA has lowest distribution of Refineries in Africa Existing Refinery is unable to cope with demand Strategy on Development of Refineries in the Region makes the following recommendations : Develop a new refinery in Uganda in order for the oil discovered in Uganda to provide optimal benefits to the region; Accelerate planned upgrading of the Mombasa refinery; and Improve the handling, transportation, storage and distribution facilities in the Region for efficient and economic distribution of petroleum products

POWER SUB-SECTOR Objectives cooperation on power sector issues of regional interest development of regional interconnections joint development of power projects for regional benefit development of regional power market exchange of technical and strategic information

The East African Power Master Plan (EAPMP) The EAPMP was completed in March 2005 and its implementation is one of the key items in the EAC Development Strategy for 2006-2010. Identifies regional power generation and transmission line projects Standing Committee on Implementation set up Implementation action plan developed Mobilization of resources for implementation ongoing Review and Update of the EAPMP expected to commence in July 2009 in conjunction with the Eastern Africa Power Pool (EAPP) Cross Border Electrification Programme Under this programme, border towns are electrified from the nearest grid even if it is from the neighbouring country

EAC Power Master Plan Studies for key transmission lines that will result in complete interconnection of the region have been completed. These include Mbarara - Birembo line linking Uganda and Rwanda; Rwegura - Kigoma linking Rwanda and Burundi; Arusha-Nairobi line; and a second transmission line linking Kenya and Uganda Sections to be studied: Bulyanhulu - Biharamulo within Tanzania in order to connect Tanzania electricity grid to Rwanda and Burundi. 16

East African Community Power Pool (EACPP) Establishment of pool recommended by the EAPMP Functions of the pool platform for implementation of regional projects under EAPMP to manage operations and transactions of power systems EACPP market structure to manage long-term transactions, short-term transactions, open access transmission system to undertake regional power system planning Following Committees are being set up Technical standards, specifications and operational guidelines Information database System expansion planning An Association of Regulators which will play a major role in the operations of the pool has been established at the initiative of National Regulators

Proposed Organizational Structure for EACPP Sectoral Council on Energy Steering Committee Independent Regulator Coordinating Centre Technical on Environment on Operations on Planning Expect Private Sector Participation is expected in process of developing key instruments of the pool Steering Committee Planning

KEY ACHIEVEMENTS East African Power Master Plan Regional Strategy on Scaling Up Access to Modern Energy Services Strategy on Development of Regional Refineries Identified regional projects for development Electricity interconnection projects under the EAPMP Arusha-Nairobi line; a second transmission line linking Kenya and Uganda Lake Victoria Transmission Ring Cross-border electrification of border towns Lunga Lunga (Kenya)/Horohoro(Tanzania) – Lunga Lunga is supplied from Tanzania since 2004 Namanga(Kenya)/Namanga(Tanzania) – Namanga(Tanzania) is supplied from Kenya since late April 2009 Taveta(Kenya)/Holili(Tanzania) – Holili to be supplied from Kenya Lwakhakha(Kenya)/Lwakhakha(Uganda) – Uganda to be supplied from Kenya Mutukula(Uganda)/Mutukula(Tanzania) – Tanzania to be supplied from Uganda Kikagati(Uganda)/Murongo(Tanzania) – Tanzania to connect from Uganda Gisoro (Uganda) is supplied from Rwanda while Byumba (Rwanda) is supplied from Uganda.
