PLANNING STAGE Objective Function: minNPV[Cost(Investment+O&M+Fuel+Un‐servedEnergy)] CO2 tax ($/ton) is loaded on O&M cost for thermal plants
Other Initiatives: Renewable Energy Programs Energy Efficiency and Conservation Programs Incentives and Policies Regional Strategy on Scaling Up Access to Modern Energy Services
Renewable Energy Programmes Feed-in-Tariffs (KE, UG, TZ) -Wind, Geothermal, Solar, Small Hydros, biomass (bagasse) No License requirement for projects below 2MW No tax for solar equipment Solar street lighting and solar traffic lights
Energy Efficiency and Energy Conservation Distribution of CFLs and solar panels Annual Efficiency Award Energy Audits and Advisory Services Standards and Labels program
Other Initiatives Generation from NG and Geothermal to be enhanced New NG pipelines planned Nuclear Units set up in KE, UG, TZ to develop capacity for implementation of nuclear generation in future GDC established in KE to carry out upstream activities Regional Strategy on Scaling Up Access
Power Master Plan and Grid Code (InterconnectionCode) Cross-Border Electrification Program (Policy andModel Power Supply Agreement) Regional Strategy on Scaling Up Access to ModernEnergy Services Feed-in Tariffs for renewable generation projects Tax incentives for renewable energy equipment
Inability to mobilise resources fast enough to matchgrowing demand Leads to rental of diesel generation on emergency basis
Low levels of access Hence use of traditional and inefficient fuels
Insufficient capacity in existing institutions in theenergy sector Inadequate capacity of communities and privatesector to develop small hydro projects Counterfeit and sub-standard equipment finding itsway into the region
Region has potential for low carbon power sectordevelopment Various initiatives have been taken at national andregional level that can be further scaled up There is need to enhance capacity in the region toincrease low carbon power sector development
