1 The ECOWAS Small Scale Hydro Power Program: OUR COMMON VISION BY 2030 Mr. Mahama Kappiah/Mr. Martin Lugmayr, ECREEE-UNIDO, 19 April /23/

2 THE ECOWAS REGION 15 COUNTRIES WITH A LAND AREA OF 5 MILLION M 2 CLIMATE FROM SEMI-ARID TO HUMID TROPICAL POPULATION OF WITH 300 MILLION PEOPLE, 60% OF POPULATION LIVES IN RURAL AREAS 11 OF THE 15 COUNTRIES ARE LDCS AND HIPIC ALMOST 150 MILLION PEOPLE HAVE NO ACCESS TO ELECTRICITY

3 Energy Challenges Interrelated challenges of energy poverty, energy security and climate change mitigation and adaptation Low Access to modern energy service One of the lowest energy consumption rates in the world; The poor spend more of their income on low quality energy services; Rural areas rely mainly on traditional biomass to meet their energy requirements; Household access to electricity services is only around 20% (40% in urban and 6-8% in rural areas); Energy security concerns High vulnerability to fossil fuel price volatility (60 % of electricity generation from oil) Gap between rising urban energy demand, available generation capacities and limited investment capital; High losses in the energy systems (e.g. high energy intensity and low demand and supply side efficiency); Climate changes concerns Increasing energy related GHG emissions (new investments determine GHGs for the next years) Climate change impacts vulnerable West African energy systems (e.g. water flows, extreme weather events) 3

9 Contribution to the ECOWAS White Paper for Energy Access Adoption of the White Paperin January 2006 in Niamey by the Authority of ECOWAS Heads of State and Governments. Target: Provide, by 2015, access to modern energy services to at least half the population living in rural and sub-urban areas: 100% of total populations have access to improved cooking fuel At least 60% of people living in rural Expected Changes between 2005 and 2015 areas will reside in localities with access to motive power 66% of the population, will individually have access to electricity supply At least 20% of new investment in rural areas originate from renewable energy sources % improved cooking gas Electrification periurban & urban electrification decentralized electrification 9
