Outcomes of the RRAs Regional Initiatives Advisory Services Capacity Building Renewable Readiness Assessments

Advisory Services • REmap 2030 provides a plan to double the share of renewable energy in the world's energy mix between 2010 and 2030. (Egypt, Ethiopia, Kenya, Morocco, Nigeria and South Africa) • Small-hydro trainings for Zambia, Mozambique, Swaziland The Gambia to come up with small hydro promotion strategy. • SPLAT: least-cost System Planning Test (SPLAT) models to support planning for long-term power generation expansion plans. • Capacity Needs Assessment at regional level in ECOWAS to promote RE-based mini-grids.

Jan 2014 Ministerial Communique signed to endorse ACEC Action Agenda Today Supported by more than 30 countries, development partners, regional organizations, IFIs, and private sector

Africa Clean Energy Corridor (ACEC) ACTION PILLARS: Zoning and Resource Assessment Identification of high resource zones for RE development. Country and Regional Planning Consideration of cost-effective RE options for power generation in national and regional plans. Enabling Frameworks for Investment Opening markets to IPPs, reducing the costs of RE financing and facilitating power trade. Capacity Building Development of skills to build, plan, operate, power grids with higher RE shares. Public Information Awareness raising and promotion of the ACEC and its benefit. 14

ACEC – West Africa Sep 2015, Abidjan Kick-off Meeting Strong support expressed by all 15 ECOWAS countries, ECOWAS Secretariat, ECREEE, WAPP, ERERA, Af. DB and other stakeholders

Pro. SPER: Promoting a Sustainable PV Market in the ECOWAS Region Objective: Development of a sustainable market for on- and off-grid PV applications by: strengthening and developing local capacities of policymakers, policymakers regulators and utilities, financial institutions and renewable energy entrepreneurs. ECOWAS Renewable Energy Entrepreneurship Support Facility Objectives: Assist entrepreneurs in specific requests for improving their business operations. Provide mentorship and technical support to existing entrepreneurs. Provide advisory services upon request. Refine entrepreneurs’ Project proposals to bankable levels. Subject to External Funding: Established fund to support entrepreneurs in obtaining seed funding and testing the viability of their ideas. Increased demonstration of pilot projects. 16

Certification Program for solar PV installers in ECOWAS Trained and Certified Technicians National or Regional Training Accreditation National or Regional Education Providers (e. g. local universities, technical colleges, vocational training centres) Prepare curricula and training course content based on JTA IREC, with IREC Standard 01023) Accredits training programmes, academic institutions under international standards • IREC: Inter-State Renewable Energy Council • NABCEP: North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners • JTA: Job Task Analysis (Technical guidelines, competency standards) International Certification Accreditation (e. g. ANSI, ISO/IEC 17024) Verifies that certification providers adhere to international standards Regional Certification Provider (e. g. NABCEP) Develops technical guidelines (JTA) for renewable energy and designs exams
