Basic Design for renewable energy Project for introduction of clean energy by solar electricity generation system in Arab Republic of Egypt Egypt JICA Project Period September 2009 May 2010 Recently, the increasing demand of energy in Egypt has to be taken into account in preparing well be planned electricity equipment and facilities for sustainable and safer electricity supply. Meanwhile, domestic oil and natural gas resources play an important role in both power generation and foreign currency balance of Egypt. According to an estimate, they will be totally used for increased electricity demand by rapid economic development. As for countermeasure for climate change, Arab Republic of Egypt is one of the Non-Annex countries of the Kyoto Protocol. Also the New and Renewable Energy Authority ( NREA ) was set up to drive renewable energy, targeting promoting changeover of energy sources from oil to cleaner energies. Hence, a new scheme of grant aid, the Program Grant Aid for Environment and Climate Change ( GAEC ) was also created by the Government of Japan as component of this financial mechanism. An application for GAEC with its targets of introducing and procuring equipment for a grid connected Solar Photovoltaic (PV) system and technical assistance for operation and maintenance was submitted by Egypt in April 2009. As candidate sites, Egypt-Japan University of Science and Technology (E-JUST) was included in the request.

Project Period Basic design, detail design, Tender Assistance and Construction Supervision Project for Introduction of Clean Energy by Solar Electricity Generation System in the Republic of Nicaragua Nicaragua Japan International Cooperation System (JICS) August 2010-December 2010 (Design Phase), January 2010-January 2012 (Construction Phase) Recently, the demand of energy in Nicaragua is increasing, but generating power has a shortfall due to steeping rise in fuel prices and shortage of electricity supply. Sustainable and safer electricity supply has been a priority issue for the Government of Nicaragua since 2007. According to Ministry of Energy and Mines, the total power generation is 3,341.1 GWh and 75% of total power generation is covered by thermal power generation. The estimated annual growth rate of total electricity demand on average was 3.92% from 2010 to 2015. Hence, the Government of Nicaragua aims to achieve sustainable economic development, targeting promoting changeover of energy sources from oil to cleaner energies. The plan of increasing capacity of power generating facility in Nicaragua is to generate 928.3 MW from renewable energy from 2011 to 2025. This means that 82% in total power generation is to be covered by renewable energy. To be of assistance, the Government of Japan established a new financial mechanism, Cool Earth Partnership, on the scale of US$10 billion. Through it, Japan will cooperate actively with developing countries' efforts to reduce emissions by enhancing energy efficiency. As a part of this mechanism, a scheme of grant aid, the Program Grant Aid for Environment and Climate Change ( GAEC ) was also created by the Government of Japan. GEEC aims to introduce a project of solar power energy development. The aim of this preparatory study is to formulate an appropriate cooperation plan and to prepare a concrete project to install a grid connected Solar Photovoltaic (PV) system in Nicaragua for reducing greenhouse gases. OC Global formulated the basic and detail design for the grid connected PV systems. During the performance of its services, OC Global delivered the following work: Consideration of feasibility of PV systems Planning of the grid-connected PV system which includes regulation, institutions, management and maintenance, setting measurement of project effect Cost estimates Planning of implementation schedule.

Basic Design for renewable energy The Project for Introduction of Clean Energy by Solar Electricity Generation System Georgia JICA Project Period August December 2010 Problems addressed by the Project Recognizing that physical, human, and social disasters brought about by ecosystem destruction and meteorological disasters are due to climate change, Georgia sees climate change as one of its top priority agendas. Georgia ratified the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in 1994 and Kyoto Protocol as one of the Non-Annex I countries in 1999. Later it established the National Research Center to start formulating policies on the climate change in 1996. In January, 2003, the National Agency on Climate Change (NACC)which belonged to the Ministry of Environment of Georgia was designated as a Designated National Authority (DNA) of Georgia to handle clean development mechanism (CDM). The Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources of Georgia became the current DNA as of December 2011. The main power generation methods in Georgia are Hydropower (Approx. 90%) and thermal power (Approx. 10%). According to statistics, annual power generation in 2010 came from base load plants (6,525.4 GWh), seasonal plants (2,842.3 GWh) and thermal power plants (678.6 GWh). In terms of both energy policy and security guarantees, energy sector reform has been an important task in Georgia. That is due to growing need for commitment to international standards and its import situation whereby Georgia has to turn to neighboring countries for almost all of the fuel for thermal power generation. In fact, there was a temporary stop of natural gas supply due to pipeline damage in 2006. In response to this accident, Georgia has made and declared its plan of energy independence. This project, as a pilot project, is to introduce a grid connected PV system aiming at contribution to both reduction in greenhouse gas emission and stable energy supply. Service Period OC Global formulated the basic and detail design for the grid connected PV systems. During performance of its services, OC Global delivered the following work: Survey and investigation of renewable energy policies, circumstances of renewable energy in Georgia and procedural flows for installation of the grid connected PV systems.
