Dakar, 3-5 November Regional Workshop on Access to modern Energy in urban and peri-urban areas Dakar, 3-5 November 2009 Capacity Need Assessment in North Africa Capacity Need Assessment in North Africa

Dakar, 3-5 November North-African Region

Dakar, 3-5 November Capacity-Need Assessment Effective activities for North African Region just launched recently Capacity-Need Assessment not yet in place

Dakar, 3-5 November Capacity-Need Assessment What does capacity needs mean, under CEMA-Norh Africa circumstances ? –Determining the scope of the Capacity-Need Assessment in North Africa

Dakar, 3-5 November Capacity-Need Assessment Capacity Enhancement needs to: 1.Improve access of the Population to Clean, Sustainable, Affordable, and Secure Sources of Energy 2.Improve capacity of North African Region to access to EU Instruments to support CSAS

Dakar, 3-5 November Capacity-Need Assessment Capacity Enhancement needs to: 3.Strengthen capacity of NA regional- national institutions in mobilizing existing expertise/resources 3 main driving objectives of CEMA

Dakar, 3-5 November Prepare a questionnaire Reflecting the various NA countries’ circumstances Issues related to Energy Access/Security/Resource mobilization are specific to the region Energy sector: generally centralized agencies in NA (e.g. CDER in Morocco, APRUE in Algeria, ANME in Tunisia)

Dakar, 3-5 November In case no relevant responses would be collected: In case no relevant responses would be collected: Option: have a direct contact ( , tel, country visit) with stakeholders in the targeted countries We have already practical experience on needs in the region, that we can consolidate/enrich through targeted studies

Dakar, 3-5 November ACCESS TO ELECTRICITY

Dakar, 3-5 November Access to Electricity in NA Region U: 100% R: 95% U/R: 100% U: 100% R: 99% U/R: 100%

Dakar, 3-5 November Access to Electricity in NA Region Main issues: –Affordability –Sustainability –Security

Dakar, 3-5 November Access to Electricity in NA Region Affordability: reducing cost of electricity for the poorest: Promote recoursing to RE (e.g. PV) Promote EE solutions (CFLs, Efficient Fridges) –Ambitious Program of connected PV (Tunisian Solar Plan)

Dakar, 3-5 November Example of poorest electricity consumers PROFILE (Tunisia)

Dakar, 3-5 November Example of poorest electricity consumers PROFILE (Tunisia)

Dakar, 3-5 November Example of poorest electricity consumers PROFILE (Tunisia)

Dakar, 3-5 November Access to Electricity in NA Region Affordability - Potential Needs: –Capacity to identify the “niches” –Project/Mechanism Design –Mobilize resources to implement the projects –Implement relevant organizational entities

Dakar, 3-5 November Access to Electricity in NA Region Sustainability: increase EE&ER mobilization –Wind power generation –Thermo-Solar Power Generation –PV dissemination in remote areas (Morocco) but also grid-connected (Tunisia) –CFLs and Efficient Fridges

Dakar, 3-5 November Access to Electricity in NA Region Sustainability - Potential Needs: –Capacity to evaluate Energy potential and Economic analysis of the EE&RE options –Project/Mechanism Design

Dakar, 3-5 November Access to Electricity in NA Region Security: –Improve interconnection+integration of the power grids (including with Europe) –Regulation issues: open-up electrical sector to diversify options Potential Needs: –Studies to evaluate the Interconnection/Integration/Regulatory issues

Dakar, 3-5 November ACCESS TO COOKING FUELS

Dakar, 3-5 November Access to Electricity in NA Region Important use (mainly rural) Accessibility issues Limited use R: limited knowledge 10-12% of the Energy balance Limited information No use No knowledge Limited use R: limited knowledge

Dakar, 3-5 November Biofuels in NA Region Main issues: –Access –Sustainability –Security

Dakar, 3-5 November Biofuels in NA Region Access: mainly rural areas and probably peri-urban in some cities (Morocco/Tunisia) Level of cost as per household revenues? Any difficulties to access to resources ? Difficulties to access to alternative resources (LPG, Kerosene)

Dakar, 3-5 November Biofuels in NA Region Sustainability/security of supply: –How the wood energy resources are used ? –Expected use in the future –Biomass contribution in energy balances

Dakar, 3-5 November Biofuels in NA Region Access/ Sustainability/security of supply - Potential Needs: –Undertake relevant survey/studies for current/future biomass use/profiles + Updating process –Implement relevant entities addressing the biomass use issues: Current uses (Morocco, Tunisia) Perspectives for biofuel uses in the Region in the future (studies + capacity development to identify alternatives and potentials) –Project/Mechanisms to improve access/sustainability and security of supply and to implement alternative responses –Mobilize resources to implement the projects

Dakar, 3-5 November BROADER CAPACITY DEVELOPMENT NEEDS

Dakar, 3-5 November Developing Energy Outlook for medium and longer terms: –Modelling exercises –Anticipation of the future planning issues Developing Energy Policies: –Enhancing the Role of EE&RE Agencies at political levels –Promoting/Mobilizing systematically EE&RE resources –Evaluating the contribution of EE&RE in Economic development and in sustainability/security of supply: Anticipating the future: Exporting Green Energy production to Europe (Thermo-Solar, Wind, etc.) Creating industrial infrastructure for RE, etc. Evaluating the resources needed to implement voluntary EE&RE programmes

Dakar, 3-5 November Indentifying Sectoral EE&RE potentials: –Industry –Transport –Services Implementing Sectoral EE&RE programs Capacity Development to fit the imlement these

Dakar, 3-5 November ACCESS TO EU FACILITY

Dakar, 3-5 November Regional workshop on EU Energy facilities Description of the EU energy Facility and the way to apply/access: –Capacity development –Improving access to energy Identify relevant projects in the region
