Increasing Energy Access
 while mitigating climate change
Case for Energy Efficiency
  • PAUL KIRAI
  •  National Project Manager,
  • GEF-KAM ENERGY PROJECT - Kenya


  • At the e-parliament
  • November 2006,
  • Ol Tukai Lodge - Amboseli
2
Accessibility factors
  • Availability – scarce energy recourses, distance,
  • Cost, affordability  - Prohibitive acquisition and maintenance costs
  • Awareness – Not knowing options


    • Large population in Asia and sub-Sahara Africa rely primarily on biomass fuel

Kenya Energy Scenario
    • High  Biomass Use
    • Dependence on imported petroleum products for Industry and Transport. Represents close to 30 % of Kenya’s total import bill. Meets 90% of commercial energy demand
10
Kenya Energy Scenario
    • Shortfall in hydro electricity generation resulting in increased thermal generation - Large Commercial and industrial consume 60% of electricity generated.


    • Wastage of energy ranges between 10% and 30% of primary energy input

“New” Energy from Demand Reduction
21
Some Benefits of Energy Efficiency
  • Availability of energy at 1/3 cost of new generation
  • Lower  environmental impacts
  • Reduce Foreign Exchange Expenditures
  • Keep and Create Jobs
  • Contribute to Poverty reduction
22
Challenges for Policy
  • Promoting Energy Efficiency at all levels
  • Making the “saved” energy available for increasing access to energy
  • Managing Rebound effect (protecting the gains)
  • Up-scaling to all sectors of the economy
  • Lack of targets, and standards
23
Policy Suggestions
  • Establish legislation to promote and improve efficiency
    • Generation – Set Targets (Lts/KW)
    • Distribution (low losses)
    • Utilization of Energy

  • Introduce Energy Standards and Labels
  • Introduce incentive schemes
  • Mainstream Energy Efficiency into policy and energy policy and programmes.
  • Build capacity

Engage all stakeholders
