1 Overview of the Energy Sector Targets and Measures in ECOWAS Nationally Determined Contributions RG (NDCs)

2 Rationale for NDCs: Keeping Global Warming Below 2oC 2

3 Key Features of ECOWAS NDCs (1) NDCs covered mainly Mitigation and Adaptation And in some countries Loss And Damage was included across the different sectors. NDCs were considered Fair and ambitious because all the countries wanted to contribute to international efforts to limit temperature increase to 2 degrees. In some countries adaptation was priority. Resilience measures and adaptation with high mitigation co benefits or hybrid mitigation (e.g increasing carbon sinks ). On methodology, most countries set emission reduction targets based on Business as usual scenarios. 3

4 KEY Features of ECOWAS NDCs (2) Implementation Periods Most set target year to achieve NDCs by 2030 Varying in start dates and length of implementation, with some expecting to start implementation as early as Exploit Sustainable Development Benefits; Economic growth, energy access, job creation, poverty reduction etc. Renewable Energy and Energy efficiency featured in all NDCs. All refer to Conditionality: Based on Investment, Capacity, Technology support. 4

5 Alignment with National Development Plans and Strategies Country National Development Plan Climate Change Plan Cabo Verde Cabo Verde s Transformational Agenda for 2030; Strategic Water and Sanitation Plan ( PLENAS ); Growth and Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper (DCRP III); NREAPs and NEEAPs Nigeria Nigeria Vision20:2020, Economic Transformation Blueprint (2009) Transformation Agenda Niger Niger economic and social development plan 2016 to 2020 Sustainable development and inclusive growth strategy Strategic framework for sustainable land management Nigerians feed Nigerians initiative 3N The Gambia VISION 2020 The Programme for Accelerated Growth and Employment PAGE Cabo Verde s Low Carbon and Climate Resilient Development Strategy (in preparation) Nigeria Climate Change Policy Response and Strategy, 2012 National policy on climate change National action plan on climate change and variability Sierra Leone National Development Plan the Agenda for Prosperity Special Program on Climate Change 2009 National Climate Change Strategy and

6 Greenhouse Gas Emissions Status Many of the countries have relatively low emissions.(total and per capita emissions). Average per capita emissions is still low. If we look at countries like sierra Leone (0.2)and Gambia (0.1) and Nigeria which is about Nigeria kg CO2e (2015) co2 emissions Metric tons per capita Source: Wordbankhttp://data.worldbank.org/indicator/EN.ATM.CO2E.PC?end=2013&start=2013&view=map

7 Mitigation Actions of the NDCs Clean Energy Targets Burkina Faso: Increase RE capacity with additional 20 MW of solar PV every 10 years. Cabo Verde: Increase RE electricity to 100% by 2025 (30% unconditional). Nigeria: Off grid solar PV of 13 GW. Ghana: Scale up RE by 10% by Gambia: Installation of solar PV, wind power and hydro-electric power plants. Guinea Bissau: Increase share of RE by 80% in the national energy mix by Niger: Increase hydro capacity from 4 MW in 2010 to 250 MW in 2030 and installation of 20 MW in wind.

8 Mitigation Actions of the INDCs Clean Energy Targets Cote D I voire: 42% share of renewable energies in the electricity mix (including large hydro) by Senegal Unconditional actions Solar PV: plants with a total combined capacity of 160 MWp Wind Turbine: plants with a total combined capacity 150 MW Hydro : plants with a total combined capacity of 144 MW / 522 GWh Rural Electrification of 392 villages mini-network electrified electrified solar or hybrid (diesel / solar) Installation of 27,500 domestic bio digesters Production and distribution of 4.6 million Improved Stoves for firewood and 3.8 million improved stoves for charcoal.

9 Mitigation Actions of the NDCs Energy Efficiency Targets Liberia :Improve energy efficiency by at least 20% by 2030 :Replace cooking stoves with low thermal efficiency (5-10%) with the higher-efficiency (40%) stoves. Cabo Verde: Reduce technical and non-technical losses in energy distribution from about 25% in 2010 to less than 8% by 2030 or before. Senegal: Promotion of efficient refrigerators: replace 95% of the existing stock. Guinea Bissau - Reduce energy losses up to 10% by Gambia: Upgrade national grid to reduce losses.

10 Means of Implementation of Measures Country Total Investment Domestic Contribution Conditional/Interna tional support needs Comments Benin Mali Niger Sierra Leone Nigeria Ghana 30bn USD 2 bn USD 28bn Mitigation: USD Adaptation: USD USD bn for USD bn ( ) mitigation. USD bn NDC is estimated USD 900 million Estimated 142 Billion USD bn, or 13% of the overall cost Not specified USD 7.50 bn (87% of total financing) Not specified The unconditional financing from own resources of the state and official development assistance while the conditional part refers to access to new sources of funding (GCF for climate and other mechanisms of the climate finance). Further analysis will be necessary to refine the required investment cost and determine the domestic support. National cost estimated from(world Bank report Low Carbon Development Opportunities for Nigeria (2013)) USD 9.81 billion (representing 45 % of the total investment) is needed for

11 Towards implementation of the NDCs Adequate institutional arrangements e.g reference to developing new policies and national programmes. Technical assessments and feasibility studies on resource and technical potential. Strengthen the regulatory and legislative frameworks to support implementation. Enhance human and institutional capacities. Enhance access to climate finance Development of National MRV systems In country awareness and incentives to mobilize broad stakeholder engagement, incl. the private sector.
