Day 1: Tuesday 3rd June 2014

•Tanzania aim to be middle income country by 2025 → substantially increase energy access

•Dispersed communities → off-grid alongside grid extension

•Key factors:•Effective collaboration private sector / NGOs / Government•Enabling productive use of energy•Addressing affordability•Improving energy efficiency

•Importance of this workshop

Opening Speech:Mr Lutengano Mwakahesya, Tanzania Rural Energy Agency

Ensuing discussion:

•Influences on choices on where to live: villages or cities (surveys)

•Short v long-terms views: dangers of ‘lock-in’ to unsustainable energy system

•Issue of cooking: 90% of energy use

•Energy to increase productivity

•Anchor loads in shopping/business centres, schools and hospitals

•Role of science academies

Smart villages concept: John Holmes

Recommendations:

•Increase policy focus on rural energy: targets and capacity building

•Learn/share lessons in East Africa: technologies and business models

Discussion:

•Illegal charcoal production: legalise and regulate?

•E Africa aims for industrialisation → focus of energy projects

•Smart villages as complimentary to urban/industrial development

Village Level Energy Situation in East Africa: Ewan Bloomfield

9. Terrat smart village: Steve Martin Kariongi

10. Twende Technologies / TAREA / Kakute: Jim Elsworth

Elevator Pitches

•Solar lamps/home systems: •Commercial – payment schemes•Quality products – good support

•Micro-hydro:•Up-front assessment•Cost of financing

•Importance of productive uses:• Job opportunities: stay in villages•Training: business and technical

Elevator pitches: some key points

1. Technology overview :Dr Ahmad Zaidee Laidin, Akademi Sains Malaysia

2. Organic photovoltaics & biopolymer capacitors: Prof Olle Inganäs

3. Sustainable implementation : Dr Heather Cruickshank, Cambridge University

4. Environmental impact : Prof Sverker Molander, Chalmers University, Sweden

5. African Network for Solar Energy: Prof Teketel Yohannes, Univ. of Addis Ababa

Breakthrough Approaches

•Organic materials for solar cells and storage•Potentially much cheaper•Knowledge and production in Africa: supportive networks

•Lessons from Malaysia•Strong policy framework with road maps•Waste products acquire value• ‘top-down’ smart village: Rimbunan Kaseh

• Environmental assessment:•Avoid problem shifting•Sufficiently broad: influence project

•Sustainable implementation:•Engaged engineers• Indigenous knowledge & local innovation

Breakthrough Approaches: some key points

• What new technologies and improvements to existing technologies are most needed to enhance the prospects of off-grid village energy provision and use?

• What research, development and demonstration activities are needed to deliver these new and improved technologies, and how can researchers in developing and industrialised countries best collaborate?

Breakout Groups: 1 and 2

Technologies:• Plug and play• Smart monitoring / control systems• Hybrid systems• Thermal & mechanical energy: not just electricity

R&D:• Connecting researchers with site-specific problems• Better evaluation: needs / location specific issues• Education in formal system

• Where are the main shortfalls in skills and capacity (scientific/technical/engineering and business/finance/regulation) in respect of the provision and use of off-grid energy?

• Where should training and capacity development initiatives best be targeted to maximise impact?

Breakout Groups: 3 and 4

• Identify & use knowledge/skills in the community• Identify and train potential entrepreneurs: business &

technical skills• Awareness & training according to needs of the village• Training of finance community: better understand energy

for development• Training in site/project evaluation
