NAMA: Promoting the use of Renewable Energy Solution for Households and Buildings
Title:
Promoting the use of Renewable Energy Solution for Households and Buildings
DescriptionOfMitigationAction:
<p>This Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Action (NAMA) targets mitigation in the Housing sector in Rwanda and focuses on promoting the use of renewable energy technologies in rural and urban households and buildings across Rwanda. More specifically, the NAMA will promote the use solar water heaters (SWH) is urban households and buildings (e.g. hotels, hospitals, hostels) and the use of standalone solar powered lighting kits in rural households, housing classified as ‘social’ and/or ‘affordable’ and small commercial establishments (e.g. shops, micro-enterprises etc.) The NAMA will be transformational as it will support the development of a local renewable energy industry in Rwanda, build employment and capacity for local service providers and increase awareness and acceptance for renewable energy technologies in general. </p> <p>Emission reductions:<br /> For the projected NAMA period of 2016 – 2030, the direct estimated net GHG emission reductions are approximately 643,000 tCO2e assuming the baseline as grid electricity. </p> <p>Sustainable Development benefits:<br /> These mitigation actions result in significant, meaningful and measureable reductions in GHG emissions while concurrently supporting Rwanda’s national development and poverty reduction policies and strategic visions and goals. It is envisioned that significant sustainable co-benefits of the NAMA include:<br /> - Increased access to energy via renewable resources<br /> - The use of domestic resources for energy will reduce dependence on imported fuels and electricity.<br /> - Reduced the use of kerosene lamps and wood based fuels, thus improve indoor air quality and health from less exposure to soot and other harmful particulate matters.<br /> - Clean, practical and convenient way to meet their daily hot water demand via SWH<br /> - The potential for creating job opportunities in the manufacturing, supply, installation, operation and maintenance fields as well, and stimulating the interest of new investors in the solar energy sector in Rwanda.<br /> - <br /> Private Sector involvement: <br /> The NAMA will encourage the development of a local businesses and industry by creating a market for solar lighting kits and SWH which are currently imported into Rwanda. This will allow the private sector to play a positive and central role in the success of the NAMA, as the private sector will be the hardware and service provider. As a consequence this will create employment and income generating opportunities within the private sector in Rwanda. It is expected that households and businesses will contribute to the investment component of the NAMA.</p>

CommentsOnFinancialSupport:
Preparation of NAMA Design and Document:<br /> This consists of the activities and cost of full NAMA design and its documentation, including the institutional framework, implementation planning, financial structuring, support required, and MRV system design and management. (USD 110,000)<br /> Comprehensive Survey:<br /> The comprehensive survey will focus on two key components of the NAMA, which are the technical feasibility and financial structure for the choice of appropriate technology (e.g. specification, minimum quality standard, demand based on end-user classification etc.) and the appropriate financial mechanism based on end-user type to ensure that any international finance requested is used efficiently and in a sustainable manner.

RelevantNationalPolicies:
The planned NAMA is in line with all relevant national and sectoral policies, which are as follows:<br /> A) Key policy linkage to the National Green Growth and Climate Resilience strategy with a focus on low carbon development to 2020 and a vision for 2050. The key linking programmes are:<br /> - Programme 10: Low Carbon Urban Systems; Action 1: Low energy buildings and services (key indicator = Per Capita Energy Use).<br /> B) Urbanisation and Rural Settlement Sector Strategic Plan 2012/13-17/18. <br /> The NAMA will meet 2 key objectives of the strategy, i.e. support the development for good urban and rural settlements cross-cutting all development sectors and the co-benefits arising from improved access to energy will provide services and attract economic activities countrywide.<br /> C) National Energy Policy: <br /> The NAMA will contribute to solar energy objectives particularly ‘solar water heating, substituting biomass and electricity water heating, with significant environmental and recurrent cost savings’. <br /> D) Specific City Development Plans: <br /> The NAMA will support the implementation of specific city development plans including the development of Kigali and six secondary cities by promoting the development and access to infrastructure services.<br />
CommentsOnFullCost:
The full cost of preparation covers the cost of preparation for the NAMA Design and Document, and a Comprehensive Survey. As well as institutional level Capacity Development Support for NAMA finance and MRV.<br /> Note that the Climate Change Focal Point (Rwanda Environmental Management Authority) and the National Implementing Entities will provide in-kind programme management, institutional coordination, and procurement services during the preparation phase of the NAMA. This in-kind contribution is not included in the estimated full cost of preparation.<br />
