Renewables/Efficiency in a Reforming Power Sector.
The Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Partnership
(REEEP) is a global post-World Summit on Sustainable Development (WSSD) Type 2 partnership
that aims at delivering the energy
policy objectives agreed at the WSSD and take forward the
recommendations of the G8 Renewable Taskforce.
Its overarching aim is to accelerate and expand the global
market for renewable energy and energy efficiency technologies
particularly in the reforming power sector.
REEEP’s key objectives are to:
-
Identify and remove market barriers to the deployment of renewable
energy and energy efficient technologies in the reforming power sector.
-
Increase access to financing for renewable energy and energy
efficient technologies in the reforming power sector.
AFREPREN/FWD organized a stakeholders’ consultative workshop
which was held on 9th -10th June 2003. The workshop
participants were drawn from Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Ethiopia and
Mauritius. It brought together energy experts from Government,
utilities, regulatory bodies, sugar and
other cogeneration private companies, academic institutions,
non-governmental organisations, renewable energy agencies,
private companies, financial institutions and donors.
The key
objectives of the consultative workshop were to:
-
Introduce the participants to REEEP.
-
Discuss the status of reforms in the various Eastern African countries and
barriers to REEES in the electricity industry.
-
Identify initiatives for promoting the use of renewables and efficiency systems
in a reforming power sector.
