Africa-EU Renewable Energy Cooperation Programme (RECP) Promoting Private Sector Investments in Africa’s Renewable Energy Markets
Joint Stakeholders Conference I 5 - 6 July 2016 – Brussels, Belgium
Niklas Hayek
History The Africa-EU Renewable Energy Cooperation Programme (RECP) was announced by then EU Commissioner Andres Piebalgs at the 2010 Vienna meeting of the Africa-EU Energy Partnership
Funding Initial funding by the European Commission. In 2013 the RECP received substantial funding from Austria, Finland, Germany and the Netherlands. The EC has added a further contribution in 2015.

What is the RECP? – Donors and History
Africa-EU Renewable Energy Cooperation Programme (RECP)
The RECP is the African-European platform for promoting renewable energy market development and investment in Africa
It thereby contributes to growth and development in both continents, and it contributes to addressing global energy access & climate change objectives

Back-up power generators supplement unreliable, insufficient grid-based supply
Electricity demand met by back-up generators in sub-Saharan Africa by sub-region
Back-up generators met almost 16 TWh of electricity demand in 2012; around 90 kb/d of oil was used at an estimated cost of over $5 billion

Access to electricity in sub-Saharan Africa
Nearly one billion people gain access to electricity, but this still leaves 530 million, primarily in rural communities, without power in 2040

Solid biomass remains at the centre of the sub-Saharan energy mix
Total primary energy demand in sub-Saharan Africa
Reliance on fuelwood & charcoal remains high, even as incomes grow; 650 million people still cook with biomass in an inefficient & hazardous way in 2040

The Universal Access Case (2030)
• Additional investment (40-60 billion/year)
• Diversification of strategies:
Clean cooking facility: Biogas systems, LPG, improved cook stoves
Electrification: national grid - distributed generation
• Additional Investment in the power sector (15-18 billion/year)
• Deeper regional co-operation and integration
• Better management of resources and (oil & gas) revenues
The African Century Case (2040)
Energy can build a shorter path to prosperity

Decentralized RE energy solutions as the key for development
“Only 30% of the world’s rural populations currently without access to electricity are best served by extending the main grid. The remaining 70% are better suited either to mini-grids (in total 52.5%) or stand-alone systems (in total 17.5%).”
International Energy Agency (2011)
Use of locally available resources Promotion of local economic development Creation of local training and job opportunities Increased energy security and efficiency Contributes to mitigation of climate change
Academia’s role in leading the way to sustainable energy
Science can lead the development of new and people-centered technologies, mechanisms as well as policies and strategies.
Identified research fields of common Africa-EU interest (non-exhaustive)
• Optimization of solar PV & Concentrated Solar Power (CSP)
• Socio-economic aspects of improved cook stoves
• Improved charcoal production
• Biogas from Agro-industries
• Solar Heating and Cooling
• Urban Waste-To-Energy
• …

Africa-EU Renewable Energy Research & Innovation Symposium
Tlemcen, Algeria I 8-10 March 2016 In cooperation with the Pan African University Institute of Water and Energy Sciences (PAUWES) and University of Tlemcen • 130+ scientists and experts • Status quo of RE research • Strengthen Africa-EU cooperation • Build capacities to access research funds and networks
Energy Procedia publication Research proposals underway Key findings on RE research
Key findings of the research symposium
• Science has to go beyond academic research to the roll-out of
innovative solutions - translating science into people-centered, practical and bankable solutions.
• Universities must train a new generation of energy professionals - contributing to a sustainable transition of the energy sector.
• Close science-business partnerships and international cooperation are a prerequisite to meet the demands of a transforming market.
