2 Economic Community of West African States (CEDEAO), (1975 ) 15 countries; 262 million (2005) and 325 million (2015) 62 % of the population, rural areas 13 of 15 countries categorized as LDCs Per capita income : $US 1,3 per day Population Growth rate 2.65%p.a (av.) 2

3 30% Crude oil and LNG (3,107 MT.) 31% Natural Gas (3,581bm 3 ) Hydroelectricity Capacity 2,390 MW 16% exploitation level 5 Countries Nigeria (37.6%); Guinea (25.8%); Ghana (11.4%); Cote d Ivoire (10.9%); Sierra Leone (5.2%) Sunlight potential of 5KWh/sq.m/day Important wind potential coastal and Saharan zones 3

4 Energy Supply Depletable, Polluting Resources Fossil fuels Impact Environment, Bio-diversity, Ozone Layers, Desertification Energy Needs by 2010 Increase of 28,000 MW (IEA) Energy Poverty Africa s great challenge Access to Modern Energy Services / Technology Majority no access Lack of Access Impact Social and Environmental Consequences 4

5 Improving Africa s Energy Situation Vital MDGs attainment Poverty and Health Targets Africa s Energy Potential Untapped Large in Renewables and Non-Renewables Africa s Hydropower Potential Attractive Option Meeting Energy Needs Rural Development Programmes Demands Reliable Electricity Rural Areas Meet Power Demands in Services Water pumping Storage of medicines / vaccines Rural industries Powering Communities Centres 5

6 6

7 Similarly, Electricity Provision - Traditionally Extension Services of Grid Transmission Heavily laden by Expensive Equipment and overhead costs Decentralized Renewable Energy Systems Mini/Micro hydro Cheaper Extension of National grid Communities at 50,000.0 USD / kw 7

8 Produced mainly from Hydropower and fossil fuels Electricity Consumption Very low to other D.C. * 1/3 of Latin America * Per Capita basis Table 1: Electricity Consumption in ECOWAS Lowest per capita consumption - 24kwh Average per capita consumption - 404kwh Europe s average p.c. consumption- 3,750kwh Access to electricity less than 20% SSA Rural areas access - 2-3% 8

9 16 % of hydro electric potential exploited. Abundance of Hydro-carbons Less than 10% of the rural population have Access to Energy Services 80 % of primary energy requirements met by traditional biomass for domestic purposes (cooking, heating, agricultural processing) Family energy needs met largely by women and girls. Low levels of public services (education, health etc) impacted by lack of energy Rural jobs and agricultural value addition limited by lack of energy Achieving the MDGs will require Increased Access to Energy 9

10 West Africa is endowed with Energy Resources, the problem is: How do we ensure the common development and utilisation of these resources? How do we boost investment in the region? When will rural people get modern energy services? 10

11 UNIDO Mission Focuses on Poverty Relief Fostering Production Growth Mobilizes Knowledge, Skills, Technology Promote Productive Employment Competitive Economy and sound Environment Rural energy initiative Focus on productive use SHP, Biomass, Wind, Solar. 11

12 Tailor-made Solutions in meeting Rural Energy Demands Tech. Assistance Programme in D.C. South-South Cooperation / Technology Transfer Facilitates Improvements in Productivity Rural Enterprises Quality of Life of Rural Communities / individuals Achieved through Productive Energy Use Agriculture, Rural SME Development Empowerment of Rural Communities. 12
