Technology Needs in the Energy SectorIdentification and response in

German Technical Cooperation

Strategies and Approaches

• Policy Advice for sustainable developmentin the energy sector

• Renewable Energies for grid supply

• Renewable energies for rural energysupply

• Improving energy efficiency and energysaving

• Improvement of conventional power plants

• Climate Protection Programme (CaPP)

Policy Advice

� So far:

• Energy policy paper

• Law on liquid fuels

• National Strategy onrural electrification

• Energy informationsystem

• Guidelines forRenewables andenergy efficiencyprojects

Advisory Service for Energy Policy Uganda (1999 - 2005)

� Partner: Ministry of Energy and Mines

Renewable Energies for Grid SupplyTERNA Wind Energy Programme

(www.gtz.de/wind)

� Goal: Support for the Development forwind parks (> 3 MW)

� Services:

• Assessment of Potential

• Site selection

• Project planning, feasibility study

• Institution building, technical advice,Training

• Financing options

� All DC

Renewable Energies for Grid SupplyWorld Commission on Dams WCD (1998-2000)

� Problem: Negative environmental and social impact of large dams

� Approach:

• International mediation process

• Evaluation of Experiences

• Recommendations for criteria, guidelines forplanning and construction

• Avoiding conflicts and reducing risk forinvestors

• Final report: http://www.dams.org/report/

� Support from GTZ for the process

Renewable energies for rural energy supplyPV-Pumping drinking water (1990-1997) and

Irrigation (1997-2001)

� Goal: Gain wide scale experience with Systems(reliability, economics, social acceptance)

� 100 PVP systems for drinking water(7 countries)

� 10 PVP systems for irrigation ( 3 countries)

� Result:

• High technical performance

• Economically competitive in the range ofsmall Diesel pumps (< 4 kW, < 1.600 m4)

Improving energy efficiency and energy savingBrasil: Energy Saving (Small and Medium Sized Enterprises)

� Implementation in 13 companies� Information advisory service (technology, energy auditing,...) for

approx. 500 companies� Training of Managers and Staff

� High competitionfor SME

� Strong Partner atIntermediary Level

� National programmeof utility for powersaving

6 Demo companies� Savings 25-50 %� Pay back in 4-30 months� Increase in productions

Cost-Effectiveness Analysis, Tanzania

• Technological Options for the Mitigation of Greenhouse Gases inTanzania

Conclusions• Demand for technologies frequently derived from

national or sector planning

• Dissemination and marketing on a commerciallysound bases

• EST must have the chance to be competitive

• CDM may help in the promoting ESTs.
