AFRICA RENEWABLE ENERGY INITIATIVE AREI Transforming Africa to a renewable energy powered future with access for all Feb$2016
CONTEXT
THE ENERGY ACCESS GAP Sh Share of population without Fu Future access situation: BAU el elec ectricity ac access sc scenario • Huge implications on human well-being and prospects for sustainable development
IMPORTANCE OF ENERGY FOR AGRICULTURE AGRICULTURAL VALUE CHAIN (Simplified) Distribution Processing, and retail Production post-harvest (domestic and and storage export markets) ACTIVITIES Land Drying Infrastructure Preparation and transport Milling Fertilizing Pressing ICTs Crop protection Training Packing Harvesting/ Selling Storing threshing Energy supply mix: Electricity Mechanical power Fuels/thermal
IMPORTANCE OF ENERGY FOR SMEs
A HUGE ENERGY ACCESS GAP GIGAWATTS (GW) 700 Current growth based on 600 historic trends PIDA projektions at 6% growth/year Pathway to 100% access 500 ACCESS GAP 400 300 200 100 YEAR 0 2000 2005 2010 2015 2020 2015 2030

AREI GOALS AND PRINCIPES
GOALS OF THE AREI ENERGY ACCE CCESS… …CL CLIMATE help achieve the help African countries Sustainable Development leapfrog towards Goals, enhanced well- renewable energy being, and sound systems that support their economic development by low-carbon development ensuring universal access strategies while enhancing to sufficient amounts of economic and energy clean, appropriate and security affordable energy
EXPECTED RESULTS ACR CROSS THE CO CONTINENT… MORE SPECI CIFICA CALLY Increase number of users • connected to the national grids or new mini-grids At least 300 GW of Increase share of RE of energy • new and additional consumption in productive installed capacity sectors: agriculture, industry, with an initial 10 and services GW by 2020 Increase in the share of • local/African firms providing RE equipment & supply on the continent

GUIDING PRINCIPLES Should contribute to achieving SD in Africa Must address Can promote the full the entire range of renewable African electricity applications, continent as well as non-electrical and benefit forms of energy all African countries. Can promote all Should boost kinds of renewable intra-regional energy cooperation technologies
KEY FEATURES Country Ownership Enhanced Transformative private and and public sector programmatic engagement Multi-stakeholder Smart, modern participation and distributed social and renewable energy environmental systems of the safeguards future

Strengthening Policy, Regulatory and Support frameworks…to provide long-term investment security • Many renewables competitive with fossil fuels on life- time basis. • No fuel costs for renewables – almost all costs in initial construction ( hi high h capital costs = risky investments) • Developers/investors need security for both off-take and tariffs to dare make the investment. • Payment guarantees are therefore a key to unleash transformative change where huge numbers of households, communities, cooperatives, public institutions, SMEs and larger companies can invest
