Regulatory framework in place

CURRENT SITUATIONPolicies National Energy Policy (NEP 2009), including renewable energy framework National Energy Strategic Plan (2014 - 2017)

National Renewable Energy Policy of Sierra Leone (NREP), adopted by cabinet in May 2016

The National Energy Efficiency Policy of Sierra Leone (NEEP) adopted by cabinet in May 2016

SE4ALL AA, NREAP, NEEAP validated in 2015

Energy Law/Regulation

Through NEA unbundling and restructuring of the public utility company was made and two entities were established:

The Sierra Leone Electricity Generation and Transmission Company (EGTC) and

the Electricity Distribution and Supply Authority (EDSA)

The Electricity and Water Regulatory Commission (EWRC) was established by an Act 2011

Targets

on Energy Access

Energy Access

By 2018: all District Headquarter towns have electricity

By 2030: universal access to electricity

(92% in the AA and NREAP)

Cooking energy policy objectives

Energy Efficiency

By 2020 (2030) 60% (100%) of light bulbs sold for on grid application will be energy efficient (CFL or LED)

By 2020 (2030) 70% (100%) of light bulbs sold for off grid application will be energy efficient (mostly LED)

By 2020 (2030) 85% (100%) of street lights will be energy efficient (HVS or LED)

Slide22

Targets

on Energy Access

By 2018

all District Headquarter towns have electricity

By 2020

44% of the population will have access to electricity

45% of the population will use improved cook stoves

15% of the population will use modern cooking fuels (e.g. LPG)

By 2030

92% of the population will have access to electricity

75% of the population will use improved cook stoves

25% of the population will use modern cooking fuels (e.g. LPG)

Slide23

Strategy to Achieve the Targets

Extend the grid and increase the coverage of electricity supplyDevelop and

finalise the rural backbone grid to connect the remaining non-electrified major localities and build secondary light T-off lines to connect minor dwellings in the vicinity or the backbone Develop off-grid supply for localities that will not be covered by the grid in the short termDevelop distributed energy options (solar kits) for smaller and scattered dwellings Roll out the barefoot college solar strategyDevelop multifunctional platforms (MFP) for community supply and productive use of energy

Slide24

Strategy to Achieve the Targets

Upgrade and secure the sustainable forest management models to slow down the rapid deforestation

processParticipatory and sustainable forest management (PSFM) is the main option contributing to the sustainable use of forestry resources.Accelerate the transfer of forestry management competence towards rural communities and communes, enabling the management of smaller forestry areasEnforce regulation and monitoring of charcoal productionEmphasize energy efficiency though the fire wood / charcoal value chainDevelop and promote improved cook stovesStandards and labellingInformation disseminationDevelop and promote improved charcoal kilns and best practices

Promote substitution from charcoal to butane in urban areas

Promote the development of biogas in rural areas

Slide25

High Impact Actions

Access to electricityAn enabling environment for off grid solutions implemented by the private sector will permit to build a sustainable commercial infrastructure in order to offer workable off grid supply solutions

The actions relating to the construction of the grid backbone (and LV extension programme) intending to reach all localities would put Sierra Leone’s electricity supply sector in a position to offer a workable on grid supply solution to most localitiesAccess to modern cooking energyThe actions relating to both reductions in firewood demand through massive savings (efficient cook stoves) associated with moving away from charcoal (LPG penetration), combined with measures to improve production levels would put Sierra Leone’s biomass sector onto a sustainable

track

Slide26

Sierra

Leone Energy Future: Vision

By

2035, Sierra Leone aspires to be an inclusive, green, middle-income country with the

following energy related features

:

Private sector-led growth

, creating value-added products, and providing jobs for our

people

An

effective

environmental management system in place that protects biodiversity and is capable of pre-empting environmental disastersTo be a model in responsible and efficient natural resource exploitation The energy sector will be the main instrument for economic development. Renewable energy clusterSierra Leone as a provider of energy servicesTourism based on green and efficient hotelsEnergy efficient economyEnergy efficient societyEnergy efficient familiesRenewable energy productionHealthier familiesGender-friendly society

Slide27

INITIATIVES

TAKEN BY THE MINISTRY TO MEET THE TARGETS:SDG

NUMBER 7

Ensure universal access to affordable, reliable and modern energy services

Increase substantially the share of renewable energy in the global energy mix

Double the global rate of improvement in energy efficiency

Enhance international cooperation to facilitate access to clean energy research and technology, including renewable energy, energy efficiency and advanced and cleaner fossil-fuel technology, and promote investment in energy infrastructure and clean energy technology

Expand infrastructure and upgrade technology for supplying modern and sustainable energy services for all in developing countries, in particular least developed countries, small island developing States, and land-locked developing countries, in accordance with their respective programmes of support

Slide28

HOW CAN YOU

ASSIST TO ACHIEVE THE TARGETS?

Government requires that the knowledge of Energy issues be disseminated to all citizens.

Information on Energy billing and tariffs,

Choices on form of energy to use.

Create awareness on the general populace on renewable energy and energy efficiency.

Educating the public on how to conserve the little energy we have.

Approach the media to be Slotting renewable and energy efficiency programmes on radio and pages in newspapers.

Slide29

CONCLUSION

The only way to successfully power and energise our country economically is going

Renewable

Energy Conservation and

Energy Efficiency
