Assessing Investment & Financial flows for Mitigation in the ENERGY Sector UNDP I&FF Methodology Guidebook: Mitigation Gambia November 2009

Relevance of energy sector  Primary source of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions  Emissions from this sector have grown faster than those in any other sector since 1970, and will continue to be the largest source of global GHG emissions.  Energy sector key to development: energy-related GHG emissions are growing fast in most highly dynamic (high growth) developing countries  Some mitigation options bring important local co-benefits: energy security, low cost energy options, improved local environmental and health conditions, etc.

Characteristics of energy sector in Gambia  In Gambia, the energy sector accounts for Giga grams (Gg) of CO2 in 2006 compared to Gg of CO2 in 1995  This is an increase or 80% increase in CO2 over the period  Residential sector account for 78%, transport sectors 11% and and electricity generation 8%  The energy sector, which is now the most polluting sector, could contribute significantly in mitigating national GHG emissions with adoption of mitigation options.  Energy needs in rural areas are largely met by biomass fuel. Supply of wood for fuel is increasing due to bush encroachment in some parts of the country

I&FF ASSESSMENT SUMMARY OF KEY STEPS  Establish key parameters of assessment (scoping)  Collect data (historic- present - projections)  Define baseline scenario and associated I&FF  Define CC (mitigation) scenario and associated I&FF  Estimate incremental I&FF to implement mitigation  Evaluate policy measures

 Define scope & boundaries for the assessment  What are the key subsectors to be included?  Define the institutional framework  Specify the time horizon for the analysis: recommended, base year 2005 recommended  Build on existing model for the sector where possible 1. Establish key parameters of the assessment

Define boundaries for the assessment 1. Establish key parameters of assessment SubsectorsData availability Investment (baseline & prior 10 years) Priority in mitigation scenario HighMediumLowRank Fossil-fired generation Total electricity Oil supply Gas supply Coal supply Petroleum refining Electricity, gas distribution and water supply Gas distribution Nuclear generation Transmission and distribution Renewables including Large and small hydro Example list of subsectors for screening and prioritization

 Focus: Local data at adequate aggregation level to identify investment types (e.g. wind energy facilities, biomass fired power plant, etc.), public programmes (e.g. energy efficiency program to replace incandescent bulbs), their costs and financing sources  Recommended options: Sector investment & public programmes data, projections and development plans GHG Inventories, National Communications to UNFCCC 2. Compile historical I&FF data and other input data for scenarios

 Data collection, rely on national accounts data  The System of National Accounts (SNA) constitutes the primary source of information about the economy  Systems of integrated environmental and economic accounts (SEEA) were developed to address statistical gaps

2. Compile historical I&FF data and other input data for scenarios Data collection, rely on national accounts data Examples of I&FF data disaggregation in each sub-sector

 Define the physical basis for the Baseline Scenario  A baseline scenario: description of what is likely to occur in the absence of ADDITIONAL policies to address climate change; expected socioeconomic trends (e.g., population growth and migration, economic growth), technological change (if relevant), and expected business-as-usual investments in the sector. 3. Define Baseline Scenario

3. Define baseline scenario  Characterizing baseline for each relevant energy supply and energy end-use subsector over the assessment period.  Assuming no new climate change policies are implemented  Baseline scenario reflects  Current sectoral and national plans  Expected socioeconomic trends  Expected investments in the subsectors  Use of available model/s (e.g. used for National Communication) may facilitate scenario definition Define baseline scenario

3. Define baseline scenario Define physical basis for the Baseline Scenario  Information should be disaggregated by:  year (starting 10 years before the assessment’s Base Year)  source (by corporations and government)  type (national funds, foreign direct investment, official development assistance)

3. Define baseline scenario Define physical basis for the Baseline Scenario Energy scenarios used so far in Gambia:  Climate change scenarios the inventory was calculated using methodologies recommended in the GHG inventory reference manual produced by the IPCC.  This inventory used 1993 as the base year because more data was available that year than any other. In fact specific surveys were conducted in 1993 to generate data needed for the inventory exercise.  National Energy Policy, Strategy and Action Plan developed in November 2001

 Compile annual estimates, disaggregated by investment entity, source, investment flow type, and financial flow type & d isaggregate costs of conventional and unconventional sources of energy  Calculate the total investment cost in real, unannualized terms over the planning period  Estimate annual investment costs associated with the new plan  Develop a breakdown of total investments into major categories (e.g., ODA, FDI, domestic funds) 4. Derive I&FF for baseline scenario

Estimate annual I&FF Adding costs to baseline scenario

 Mitigation scenario: incorporates measures to reduce GHG emissions  The mitigation scenario should describe expected socioeconomic trends, technological change (if relevant), relevant measures to mitigate GHG emissions, and the expected investments in key areas of the energy sector (e.g. end-use and supply subsectors) to implement those mitigation measures.  Costing tools and international information sources may help to identify I&FF needs for different mitigation options 5. Define Mitigation scenario

5. Define mitigation scenario Category of Mitigation Measure Energy Supply MeasuresEnergy End-Use Measures Reduce Combustion Emissions Reduce Fugitive Emissions Reduce Combustion Emissions Reduce Energy Demand Improve efficiency of energy use Efficiency improvements in energy supply processes Efficiency improvements in energy end-use technologies Energy conservation measures Reduce emissions per unit of energy production or use Switch to lower carbon fuels Switch to alternative energy sources Reduce fugitive losses (including recovery and use) Energy Sector Mitigation Measures

5. Define mitigation scenario Energy Sector Mitigation Measures Options identified in the Initial National Communication of Gambia  Promote energy efficiency and reduce energy use as well as use of renewable energy  Replacement of firewood/charcoal by LPG for domestic energy, revitalization of river transport.  Greenhouse gas abatement using improved cooking stoves to reduce fuel wood consumption

5. Define mitigation scenario Two approaches to define Mitigation Scenario  Approach #1: assume an end point for energy supply emissions  E.g. setting a target in 2030 for emissions from the energy supply sector  Approach #2: assume a set of technologies for energy supply:  E.g. Review national potential for energy policy that articulate a set of technological options, such as renewable energy, and other carbon-reducing options to meet future energy demand.

 Compile annual estimates, disaggregated by investment entity, source, investment flow type, and financial flow type  Estimate annual investment costs associated with the alternative management plan  Calculate the total investment cost in real, unannualized terms over the planning period.  Develop a breakdown of total investments into major categories (e.g., ODA, FDI, domestic funds) 6. Derive I&FF for Mitigation Scenario

Projecting Investments 6. Derive I&FF for mitigation scenario Adding costs to mitigation scenario

 Subtract the baseline annual I&FF, by entity and source, from the mitigation annual I&FF, by entity and source.  Subtraction of the Baseline Scenario from the Mitigation Scenario.  Sum incremental amounts over all years, by entity and source. 7. Estimate changes in annual I&FF needed to implement adaptation

[ Subtract the baseline annual I&FF from the mitigation annual I&FF 7. Estimate changes in annual I&FF needed to implement mitigation  For each chosen energy mitigation option, the analysis should identify the incremental investment (total dollars) by source (domestic funds, ODA, FDI etc.) up through 2030 necessary for its implementation

[ Summarizing incremental investments 7. Estimate changes in annual I&FF needed to implement mitigation

 Objective: Analyze additional efforts, funding and policy needs to implement measures identified in the mitigation scenario  Determine policy instruments and measures to encourage changes in I&FF  Identify the entities that are responsible for the significant incremental changes in I&FF  Determine the predominant sources of their funds, particularly important to distinguish between public and private sources of finance 8.
