PROJECT TITLE Subtitle

Sustainable Energy for All is an International Organization working with leaders in government, the private sector and civil society to drive further, faster action toward achievement of Sustainable Development Goal 7, which calls for universal access to sustainable energy by 2030

SUSTAINABLE ENERGY FOR ALL (SEforALL)

Background – 840 million people without access

Introduction to IEP – Integrated Electrification Pathways

What is an IEP?

A set of inclusive planning approaches and policy measures that support using grid, mini- grid and off-grid technologies to provide electricity and the associated energy services necessary to meet human needs and contribute to sustainable development.

IEP Guiding Principles (1)

Recognize electricity access as essential for achieving other development goals

• Power the development vision of the country’s future
• Develop a framework for input and close coordination with Ministries of Finance, Infrastructure,

Health, Education, Rural Development, Gender/Women

Consider all sustainable technologies and delivery models available

• Grid extension/densification, mini-grid and off-grid/stand-alone technologies where appropriate
• Appropriate data and Geo-spatial modelling very important at this stage to identify appropriate

solutions against tier of service required and affordability constraints

IEP Guiding Principles (2)

Establish high-level political support for coordinated government planning

• Commitment at the highest political level builds confidence in investors, donors and private sector

Develop policy measures that encourage private sector investment

• Consultation with relevant sector stakeholders is of utmost importance for successful implementation
• IEP should include and overview of both financial and non-financial incentives to private sector

investment and project development

Integrated Electrification Pathways

Some Key Takeaways…

SEforALL’s Integrated Electrification Pathways Primer:

• SEforALL published Integrated Electrification Pathways for Universal Access to Electrification: A

Primer as a practical tool for facilitating government and private sector efforts to develop national electrification plans taking a full-systems approach.

• 3 country case studies – Ethiopia, Nepal, Togo (including videos).
• Ministers from 39 African countries adopted a recommendation presented by SEforALL on

integrated electrification as part of the African Union Commission's Cairo Declaration on developing smart infrastructure to boost the continent’s development in the coming decades.

About the Mini-Grids Partnership

• The Mini-Grids Partnership is a consortium of 230 mini-

grid stakeholders that works to accelerate the development and deployment of clean energy mini-grids by enhancing and complementing each other’s work through collaboration and coordination

• The Partnership is an ‘umbrella’ group that bridges

discrete but related stakeholders and initiatives, from both the public and private sector

• The Mini-Grids Partnership was founded in 2014 under

the auspices of Sustainable Energy for All (SEforALL)

• The Partnership’s day-to-day operations is led by its

Secretariat at the SEforALL and the Alliance for Rural Electrification (ARE)
