Powering Africa: Ethiopia

PoweringAfrica:Ethiopia (PA:Ethiopia) will take place from 14th -15th January 2013 at the Radisson Blu hotel in Addis Ababa. This meeting of stakeholders will bring together Ethiopia’s government and state utility as well as international energy experts and investors to discuss the investment climate in Ethiopia. This unique dialogue will be a sharing of knowledge and capabilities to support the development of an IPP framework and the successful establishment of a thriving renewable energy market in Ethiopia that will attract FDI into the country’s planned power projects.

Discussions at this meeting will be conducted under Chatham House Rule and will allow all participants to engage in frank discussions, that will provide clarity on Ethiopia’s “Growth Transformation Plan” and help to shed light on the untapped renewable energy opportunities in the country with a strong focus on Wind, Geothermal and Hydropower development.

Over the past six years, EnergyNet’s Powering Africa Series of high-level meetings have established a reputation as a unique meeting place where public and private sector talk freely about their concerns and aspirations, as well as explore solutions. Members do this by answering questions that they have agreed beforehand. Fellow members are then invited to respond, provoking lively discussion. This event is designed for senior-decision makers active in Africa’s power sector. Places are limited to maximise opportunities for networking.

The Value of Dialogue

EnergyNet has worked for the past decade in the development of Africa’s power, gas and renewable energy sectors by promoting investment, business opportunities, and cooperation through international forums that gather decision makers from the public and private sectors. The principal event is the annual Africa Energy Forum, which brings together over 700 international energy experts.

The Energynet Community

Normally I walk away from a large conference with 4 or 5 new contacts. With these meetings I have made contact with almost everybody.

Meet the Stakeholders

The distinguishing feature of the Powering Africa Executive Meetings is the high level of interaction between government officials, financiers, and other key stakeholders who actively share the challenges they face and explore solutions through structured dialogue. Discussions are initiated by asking pre-agreed questions from members of the meeting, and after each question comments are invited.This process makes for lively, in-depth debate and the agenda for the meeting is a collaborative effort, with participants being invited to propose topics for discussion. EnergyNet then sets out a framework for the agenda, proposing broad questions as a catalyst for discussion for the experts, who will have first-hand experience of the challenges faced in developing energy projects in Africa.

I really enjoy the table discussions which makes these events far more effective than large conferences where you need to meet people in the lobby and listen to make-believes.HuubvanHaelen,ManagingDirector,GlobalGasNetworksInitiative

Day 2 - 15th january

HarnessingEthiopia’sNaturalResources9.00am-10.30am

A country abounded by surplus natural resources, establishing a green economy seems to be the innate short to medium term power generation option, especially with the untapped growth potential of the country’s hydro, wind and geothermal resources. The question is can this developing nation’s electricity demand depend solely on green power in the long term? What are the incentive mechanisms for renewable energy technologies and developers? What alternate energy resources must be considered or included in Ethiopia’s power generation mix?

Wind:• How can the integration of 700 - 900MW wind energy

into the Ethiopian grid be accomplished? How can it be regulated with the existing hydro power plants?

• How can the development phase for wind farms be sped up through investment, incentives and adequate frameworks?

Geothermal:• To what extent is Ethiopia embracing the geothermal

power potential of the East African Rift System (EARS)? What will be required to attract investments beyond feasibility study?

• How can the risks of exploration and drilling be minimised?• What technological innovations will fast track Ethiopia’s

geothermal power market?

Hydropower:Hydropower development: A local economic growth perspective: • Power Supply• Water and Irrigation • Fisheries • Tourism • What are the best technological solutions for maintaining

storage capacity? • What will be the economic impact of land irrigation? Is this

the only solution to providing water security? • How realistic is the cost of producing utility water? How will

tariffs ensure the costs of operations and maintenance are met?

Morning Coffee Break 10.30am -11.00am

FinancingaRenewableEnergyFuture11.00am–12.30pm

The challenge is how to finance costly renewable energy projects. But in reality financing any power project in Africa has been difficult. This session will assess the various finance options for Ethiopia’s projects. Considering the majority of Ethiopia’s projects are government funded, investors are interested to find out how this market can be opened up to private and commercial finance.

• What are the financing models for geothermal power? • Financing hydropower: What are the challenges of

distributing hydropower to the East African market? • How to encourage foreign debt into power projects:

what are the challenges faced by development finance institutions and international banks?

• Risk management: What will solutions will encourage commercial banks to invest in the power sector?

• What does a commercial bank require to lend to renewable energy projects (REPs)

• What are the barriers to private investor’s involvement in the financing of hydropower?

• Government has committed itself to promoting renewable energy: where will the funding come from?
