4 A Key: Productive Use of Energy 5 Steps Energy Supply from Energy Supply Energy Consumption Changes in Entreprise and job creation Energy Access to Poverty Alleviation Generation of Income Poverty Reduction Socio-Economic Development

5 Existing Renewable Energy Policies in Mali and Senegal Source: Adapted from REN21 Renewables 2015 Global Status Report Senegal: ASER provides % of hybrid investment cost as subsidy

6 Rural Electrification in Senegal The project «Micro Power 30» Electrification of 30 villages in Senegal until 2014 Providing access to reliable power supply to rural citizens Technical set-up: 5 to 10 kwp PV / 5 kw wind turbine / 10 kw backup diesel generator 60 kwh battery bank / 15 kw battery inverters Project partners: INENSUS West Africa (associates INENSUS GmbH & CSI MATFORCE) Public funding by the Daey Ouwends Fond, capital borrowed from FMO Source:

7 Rural Electrification in Senegal Sine Abdou Moussa (Senegal) - Population: Installation: Wind 5 kw / Solar 5 kw Batteries Diesel 11 kva generator (for backup) - Financing:International Donors (GIZ) International Private Investor - Return on Investment: 10-15% - Year of construction: 2010 Credits: INENSUS Credits: Mail-Folkecenter

11 Positive effect of the electricity availability in rural areas World Wind Energy Association Positive Effects of Access to Power Resilience of the community to climate change Incitation to come back to the village Youth employment No positive effect Employment creation low positive effect Public security Public health moderate positive effect Access to drinkable water substantial positive effect Education highly positive effect New economic activities Increase of the existent economic activity Source: WWEA Survey (2015)

12 50 % of the respondents have generated profit without any international grants/donations or governmental aid 91 % of the respondents think their projects were worth pursuing

13 Finance is Key: Proposal for a Global FIT Programme
