Notes

Bright - Energy for all

  • 1.1 Billion people will remain "off-grid" (Ingunn), even in 2030 about 600 Million will be off-grid

Zero

  • 40 øre offshore wind, 25 øre onshore wind, <20 øre solar
  • Obstacles for enterprises: 1) access to finance, 2) electricity, 3) political instability, 4) tax rates, 5) practical challenges

Pio Ding, Norwegian Church Aid, South Sudan

  • be pollied, don’t talk to people, talk with people
  • NCA: empower local communities, increase their capacity
  • the poor are risk aware, they want to keep the little they have

Christopher Ruud, Renewable Energy, Multiconsult

  • key drivers demanding off-grid solutions
  • Norad, Norfund “grid”
  • Mozambique: Population 28 billion, electrification are now at ~26%, rural <10%

  • SDG 2, 8, 17 - digital work
  • Examples: Biogasification (Uganda) Cashew (Mozambique - Nøttesfabrikk)
  • Tanzania: rice farmers

  • solutions: GSM, key codes sent vis SMS, or bi-directional cable with data transfer (and phone app)

Marte Ness (World Wildlife Fund) WWF-Norge Mness@wwf.no

  • Uganda: strøm og energi til koking
  • privat: Ugastove, Barefoot Power, Small Solutions, Box, Prime Energy, UP Energy, MNTN Phoenix, Solar Now, M-Kopa

  • Godfrey Baluku Kime, mayor of Kasese town “I want to boost energy access in the region to improve living standards, public health and bolster the local economy”

Modeller

  • 1) SACCO (Mikrokredit): +lite mislighold, - ekslusivt, - dyrt lån
  • 2) Grupper: +Lite mislighold, + indkluderende, + billig lån, - dyrt å nå gruppa (lærer, kvinner,…)
  • 3) Ingen gruppe: + gruppetilhørighet ikke nødvendig, - dyrt å bygge opp organisasjon

Lærdommer:

  • Partnerskap
  • Lokale myndigheter må ta ledelsen
  • litt bedre råd til folk. Heng deg på noen som….
  • bruk lokale strukturer

Questions:

  • framework for integrated development, both bringing SDGs together (energy, information access, health, education, equality, partnership), as well as partners
  • administration of micro-solutions are too costly financially
  • comment: on Telenor - increase their business
  • Norges Vel (Norad financed): integrated approach - examples of entrepreneurship (“best praxis).
  • Digital Society: Best praxis approach and network (SDG, area/country, …) -Reinaart
