3. Why EE&C ?? Electricity Demand in Expected Demand Scenario

4. JICA EE&C Study 1. Funding Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) 2. Consultant Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) 3. Duration 2012/2-2013/3

5. Objective / Overall Goal / Reasons The Objective is: To propose EE&C policy in Oman’s power sector and create a master plan regarding electric power towards 2023 in order to promote EE&C including improving power efficiency on the demand side and conserving electric power. The Overall Goal is: To improve the balance between the supply and demand of electricity in Oman through the implementation plan proposed by the Master Plan. Reasons: In Oman, electric power demand has been rising rapidly due to recent rapid economic and population growth. Especially, the promotion of the special economic zone to break the dependency on the oil industry is anticipated to accelerate electric power demand growth. The promotion of the special economic zone to break the dependency on the oil industry is anticipated to accelerate electric power demand growth Trying to secure power resources in response to electric power demand growth The supply-demand balance has worsened recently and was forced to implement planned blackouts +90% of power resources are gas turbine generation using natural gas, which causes the scarcity of the domestic natural gas supply.

EE&C Dissemination Program Sub-Committee 1: PAEW, MOCI, MOG, MECA, OETC, RAECO Sub-Committee 2: MOCI, MZEC, MJEC Sub-Committee 3: PAEW, MM, MEDC Sub-Committee 4: PAEW, AER, EHC, OPWP, MEDC, MJEC, MZEC, RAECO Sub-Committee 5: PAEW, MM, MRMWR Sub-Committee 6: PAEW, MECA, EHC, MEDC, MJEC, MZEC, MEDC Measures Analyzed in Priority Screening

10. Having screened the measures through a simple cost/benefit analysis, this Study proposed the following measures as prioritized measures.

11. Recommendations 1- From the results of the costs/benefit analysis, the proposed EE&C measures are obviously beneficial for Oman. Besides, savings of domestic resources contribute to national energy security. Thus the EE&C policy should be further promoted for the future of Oman. 2- Each EE&C measure basically implements per the order of the detailed scheme design, pilot implementation and full-scale implementation. 3- A new organization, National EE&C Center is proposed to be established for the executing agency for the Energy Management System and the EE&C dissemination programs. 4- The mandatory programs such as Energy Management System, Minimum Energy Standards and Labeling System, EE&C Building Regulation and the establishment of a new organization require a legal basis and a one-year preparation period must be considered. 5- Out of the proposed EE&C measures, the Minimum Energy Standards and Labeling System (MESL) and EE&C Building Regulation (EBR) are highly recommended because these schemes are expected to be effective in reducing the electricity consumption of air conditioners which occupies about 40 % of total consumption (about 60 % during the summer peak period). 6- Establish / Develop dissemination programs (education / Training / awareness).
