3 SEEKING YOUR INPUT About This Consultative Meeting As a basis for discussion, the Energy Strategy Approach Paper, available online, outlines the proposed approach. Input from consultation meetings and from people who comment via the Web site will be documented and used as an input to the strategy. We will prepare a summary of the comments received today, post it on the web, and accept additional written comments. By the end of July, we will prepare a summary of all of the feedback received during the consultation process with a response by the World Bank Group on how it is being considered.

4 SEEKING YOUR INPUT Structure of the Presentation Context and challenges World Bank s role in the energy sector Lessons learned Objectives Proposed areas of engagement

5 CHALLENGES New and Old Challenges Energy access, energy poverty: 1.5 billion lack access to electricity, and many more use solid fuels for cooking and heating. Climate change: Meeting the energy needs of developing countries and arresting climate change will require global action and cooperation. Managing uncertainties: The recent oil price volatility pointed to the need to diversify the energy portfolio, conserve energy, and improve energy efficiency. The global financial crisis has increased uncertainty in investments, while reducing available resources for development assistance and investment flows.

6 CHALLENGES CHINA SPECIFIC China is part of the solution to key global energy issues Climate Change High energy consumption High carbon content of energy use Largest total CO 2 emissions Large population, low per capita CO 2 Consumption to double Energy Security Rapid increase in oil and gas imports

7 CHALLENGES CHINA SPECIFIC Possible Future Trends Driving Demand in China Maintaining rapid economic growth while rebalancing the country s economic structure and shifting toward a less energy- and carbonintensive economy Achieving greater urbanization while shifting toward less energy-and carbon-intensive cities Improving quality of life while shifting to a less energy-intensive and sustainable lifestyle

8 CHALLENGES CHINA SPECIFIC Government Actions Government targets Energy intensity to be reduced by 20% between 2005 and 2010 Non-fossil fuel share in energy mix to rise to 15% by 2020 Carbon intensity to be reduced by 40 45% between 2005 and 2020 Recent performance Energy conservation key policy objective across all levels of government Upward trend in energy intensity reversed, energy intensity cut by 14.4% between 2006 and 2009 according to official statistics Doubling of installed wind capacity each year between 2005 and 2009 Remaining Challenges Industry s share in primary energy consumption still very high (70%), coal share in energy mix remains at 69%, and renewable energy use faces challenges (e.g. wind power connections to grid)

20 WORLD BANK GROUP S ROLE IN ENERGY Observations and Lessons Learned An efficient, reliable, and low-cost energy sector is critical for equitable economic development Sound operational and financial performance is essential Improved capacity and governance are needed for better sector performance and ability to address climate change For the very poor, the most important determinant of access to and use of modern energy is their cash income

21 PROGRAM CASE STUDY 1 Lighting Africa WB-IFC joint initiative to mobilize the private sector to develop and disseminate modern lighting solutions using LED and other technologies Program target is to facilitate sales of 500,000 off-grid lighting products by 2012, serving more than 2.5 million people Technical assistance and seed funding is made available to entrepreneurs to develop low-cost, high-quality lighting products Lighting Africa s vision is to build a commercial platform for the lighting sector that can serve 250 million people in Sub-Saharan Africa by 2030

22 PROGRAM CASE STUDY 2 Large-scale Solar Power The World Bank is scaling up support for large-scale solar thermal and PV systems in a number of countries. In Egypt and Morocco, WB is supporting demonstration projects on integrated solar combined cycle (ISCC) power generation technology. WB is mainstreaming PV deployment for off-grid rural electrification (e.g. project in Bangladesh deploying more than one million solar home systems) WB is developing a large-scale program in the Middle East and North Africa region for concentrating solar power technology using CTF and other instruments.

23 PROPOSED APPROACH The challenge is to balance the twin objectives of greater access and sustainability Improve operational and financial performance Improve access and reliability of energy supply & Facilitate shift to more environmentally sustainable energy sector development Strengthen governance

24 Across All Countries PROPOSED APPROACH Supply-side and demand-side energy efficiency improvement Increased investment renewable energy including large hydro projects Building institutional capacity to identify and implement affordable low-carbon projects Policy and institutional reforms Accelerating technology transfer Transmission and distribution Cross-border energy trade Thermal generation in accordance with the criteria outlined in the Strategic Framework for Development and Climate Change Selective investments in extractive industries in accordance with WBG management response to Extractive Industries Review

25 Across All Countries (continued) Six criteria for financing coal-fired power plants 1.There is a demonstrated development impact, including reducing power shortage or increasing access for the poor. 2.Assistance is being provided to identify and prepare low carbon projects in the country. 3.Steps are being taken to optimize energy sources through energy efficiency (both supply and demand) and conservation. 4.Additional financing from donors for incremental cost relative to lowest-cost option with higher GHG emissions is not available. 5.The best appropriate available technology that minimizes GHG emissions will be used. 6.An approach to incorporate environmental externalities in project analysis will be developed. PROPOSED APPROACH

26 Low-Income, Fragile, Post-Conflict, and Middle-Income Countries with Low Access Access to reliable modern energy services will remain the top priority Explore all options: off-grid, cooperatives, pro-poor financing methods, affordable lifeline rates Hydropower with focus on integrated water resources management Cross-border trade Improve affordability by increasing supply efficiency and passing efficiency gains to consumers Help build capacity to access financing to make low-carbon alternatives affordable PROPOSED AREAS OF ENGAGEMENT

27 PROPOSED AREAS OF ENGAGEMENT Middle-Income Countries Help address local and emerging global challenges and increase support to innovation and transformation Support commercial-scale renewable energy, supply-and demand-side energy efficiency, and emerging clean technologies and related infrastructure facilities Help leverage climate finance, private sector financing, and other financing opportunities
