Localizing Ghana’s Nuclear Power Programme Key Requirement Built on 4 Pillars o • Continuous Stakeholder Involvement and participation • Competent Human Resource Development • #Capable Local Industry Involvement and Participation • Strong Government Commitment and International Cooperation The Drive for local industry participation rests on: o • The need for local industry to support the safe, sustainable and affordable operation and maintenance of Ghana’s nuclear facilities. • The need for local industry to participate in the appreciable quantum of business that Ghana’s nuclear power programme (esp. project phase) will generates. • Need for technology transfer, partnerships and upgrade of local industry. • Positive impact on GDP growth NPID-127540-PRS-003 3
Determining Localization Provisions o For embarking countries , 100% localization is not feasible due mainly to • High/Complex Technology Requirements • Stringent Nuclear Safety Requirements o What should then be the Localization Ratio? • Guiding documents prescribed approx. 10% – 30 %. But it is Country Specific • Conduct national analysis on local industry capacity and capability for each entry point (work closely with AGI, GhIE, GSS etc.) • Assess national data on local industry participation in developmental projects • Conduct site visitation, inspection and appraisal of local industry to qualify them into a nuclear industry association. The objective is to properly and effectively direct supports and monitor application of any assistance for building local industry capacity NPID-127540-PRS-008 4
Possible Local Industry Entry Points Four major possible entry points available for local industry in NPP. o • Design and Planning • Manufacturing and Procurement • Construction and Installation • Operation and Maintenance Business generation for local industry at any of these points is substantial. o • Cost of equipment, components and materials used for construction of NPP represents approx. 30% to 40% of overall cost of the plant, [IAEA Doc. On Industrial Involvement]. • About 30% of total NPP investment cost is typically related to Civil Construction and Installation, [IAEA Doc. On Industrial Involvement ]. NPID-127540-PRS-003 5
Focus on Civil Construction Supply Chain Need for the supply chain to upgrade so as to meet qualification requirements o NPP Construction Civil Construction Cement Manufacturing Civil Construction Steel/Aluminum Supporting Material/Machinery Industries Industries Industries Manufacturing Industries Berock Ventures Ghana Cement Tema Steel Company Ltd. Blue Rose Limited Roofing Materials Diamond Cement ALUWORKS Brass Hans Ent. Manufacturing Industries Pozolana Ghana Limited VALCO Constroexperts Ltd. Paint Manufacturing Industries PMC Global Incorporated Wahome Steel Limited Machinery industries GIG Property Consult Etc. Sethi Limited Cable Manufacturing industries Pelican Properties Ltd Steelco Roofing System Limited Timber Industry Etc. Etc. Etc. NPID-127540-PRS-003 6
Qualification of Suppliers Component of Qualification Programme o Development of proper management documentation Facility modifications and upgrade to comply with ISO 9001:2015 Establishment of nuclear culture mindful of nuclear specific quality requirements Training in applicable codes and standards Basis for Qualification of suppliers in the supply Chain o Need to manufacture to meet code and standard so as to control financial and project risks Need to meet Regulatory Requirements for the licensed NPP design Need for O/O to adopt applicable standards to meet provisions within the license granted by the regulator Need to meet Vendor design criteria and codes of practice NPID-127540-PRS-003 7
Establishing Industrial Involvement Policy Need to Mobilize and Motivate local industry to provide quality goods and services to support Ghana’s o Nuclear Power Programme Policy is the main driver for Private Sector investment and participation o • Sources of Motivation Stability in government’s long term industrial policy as an insurance for local industry investment and participation in Ghana’s NPP. Legislation to back the implementation of key provisions in most policies on industrial development Strategic National Investments and Incentives for local industry Regulation, Monitoring and Evaluation Industrial Upgrade Programmes and Qualifications International Cooperations and Partnerships NPID-127540-PRS-003 8
Positioning Industrial Involvement in National Agenda Initiatives/Policies Remarks 1 One District-One Factory Content of Govt’s 10 points pillars for industrial transformation agenda. Need for conscious effort to develop some of these factories to meet the long term need of Ghana’s nuclear power programme 2 Development of Integrated Bauxite and Content of Govt’s 10 points pillars for industrial transformation Aluminum Industry agenda 3 Development of Steel Industry 4 Provision of Stimulus Package Should be strategic with monitoring mechanisms to ensure objectives of making local industry competitive are met NPID-127540-PRS-003 9
Positioning Industrial Involvement in National Agenda Policies/Plans Remarks 5 Provisions in the Draft STI Policy (2017- There is need for legislation backing to ensure implementation of 2020). Sections: 3.5, 3.12, 3.14, 3.15, 4.5 key provisions 6 Provisions in the Draft Coordinated There is need for legislation backing to ensure implementation of National Quality Policy (2018) key provisions 7 Provisions in the Long-Term National There is need for legislation backing to ensure implementation of Development Plan (LTDP), 2018-2047 key provisions NPID-127540-PRS-003 10
The Draft Roadmap NPID-127540-PRS-003 11
Actions on Phase 1 INIR Recommendation & Suggestion for Industrial Involvement INIR Report o INIR Report was presented to the Ministry of Energy in May 2017. Recommendation Ghana (GNPPO) should develop a policy for national industrial involvement for the o nuclear power programme. A Working Group has been constituted from stakeholders to work on policy for local participation in Ghana’s nuclear power programme. NPID-127540-PRS-003 12
Actions on Phase 1 INIR Recommendation & Suggestion for Industrial Involvement Suggestion Ghana (GNPPO) is encouraged to engage potential NPP suppliers to better understand o where Ghanaian industry could participate and to develop awareness of the required quality standards and procedures for qualification of contractors. IAEA & Vendor-Specific workshops for local industry ongoing NPID-127540-PRS-003 13
Concluding Remarks o A viable nuclear power programme relies on strong governmental support and national investment directed at progressively building skilled human resources, competitive industrial sector and local supply chain in a medium to long term national development framework. o It has been recognized that, Ghana has an extremely low current level of industrial capacity and capability. o It is therefore essential that active steps be instituted, as part of any policy, to introduce new capabilities and upgrade existing capabilities in the many different areas that a nuclear project will require. NPID-127540-PRS-008 14
Concluding Remarks o Partnerships, joint ventures, provision of incentives and technology transfer initiatives among others are needed to support local industry to timely develop the required capability to effectively participate in the huge business opportunities that are associated with nuclear power programmes. o Local industry participation in nuclear power programme has the great advantage of not only the transfer of complex technologies but also the reduction in capital investment and generation cost of power due to, • The use of competent local labour, • Reduction of dependence on foreign labour, imported goods and services NPID-127540-PRS-008 15
