The Problem! Renewable Energy Institute “Sub - Saharan Africa is starved for electricity” “Sub -Saharan Africa has 13% of the worlds population, but 48% of the share of the worlds population without access to electricity” “Electricity consumption and economic development are closely linked; growth does not happen without a step change in the power sector” “Electricity consumption rates are far below other emerging markets” Source: Brighter Africa Report McKinsey & Company February 2015

Somaliland Electricity Renewable Energy Institute Dependence on imported fuel Unit price $1 per kWh No electricity grid / Many small networks Systems losses >40% (World Bank Estimate) Shortage of qualified electrical engineers No Regulation or Standards Poor Health and safety record

Renewable Energy Institute Thank you Questions

Renewable Energy Institute

Renewable Energy Institute Renewable Energy Institute • Why is the REI needed? • What is the REI? • REI Training Courses • REI Database • Project Outcomes

Renewable Energy Institute Why is the REI needed? • Barriers inhibiting the development of renewable energy in the region: • Few installers specialising in renewable energy • No training available for installers • Examples of poor installations • Lack of consumer confidence in renewable energy

Renewable Energy Institute What is the REI? • The objective of the REI project is to  develop structures for training, registration and quality control of installers in the Somali region.

Renewable Energy Institute REI Training Courses • REI  Developing training courses (including course manuals and presentations for the theoretical part of the training courses and technical tasks for the practical elements).  Is developing a laboratory and training facility to deliver students courses  Has established training facilities for  Photovoltaic  Solar Water Pumping  Solar Thermal (courses in near future)
