Research Center for Energy&Environment

2. Economic Situation
- Area: 329,297 km Population : 80,560,000 persons - Structure of GDP (2003) + Agriculture: % + Industry : % + Services : Grow Rate: 7,70% (2003) - GDP per capita: 460 USD

3. Electricity Situation
- Electricity Production (2003) TWh -Electricity Production per capita kWh - Level of Electrification: %

4. Electricity Projection
- Electricity Production (2020) TWh - Electricity Consumption per capita kWh - Level of Electrification: %

5. Wind energy Installed capacity: 1840 MW (.35% of potential)
Total generated electricity: 4.83 TWh/year (LF: 30%)
Reduced CO2: 4.13 million tons of CO2 eq./year (emission factor: 0,855kg CO2/kWh)
Economic:
Investment cost: 870 UDS/kW
O&M: 2% of investment/year
Lifetime: 20 years
Load factor: 30%
Levelized generation cost: 5.32 cent/kWh

8. Biogas Energy Potential Biogas in 2001 is 3,000 million m3
Biogas to produce electricity
1m3 biogas  1kg coal  2 kg CO2 reduction
1m3 biogas  0.5kg oil  1.7 kg CO2 reduction
1m3 biogas  1.7 kWh  1.45 kg CO2 reduction
If use 10% of potential – reduce 0.6 million ton CO2/year

9. E E & R E Programmes
- Demand side Management Programmes Energy Efficiency Programmes for SMS - Rural Energy Programmes - Renewable Energy Programmes

10. ESCO’s
- Central State Owned Energy Companies: EVN, LILAMA, COMA Provincial and Local ESCOs: State owned - Private Sector for ESCO at Provincial and Local Level: Very small - ESCOs for Rural and Remote Arears Almos No Exist

11. Regional Cooperation
- Experiences learned from China - A Cooperative Framework Needed - Management by REEEP - A Regional REEEP Esco Project needed
