Panel Session 2 – key energy uses

•Interest/value of involvement of big corporations: business know how / distribution networks / 23.1 trillion $

•Making healthcare affordable: ICT + low cost diagnostics

•Value of analytical frameworks: tracking progress and evaluating pinch points in markets

Panel Session 2 – key energy uses

•Up-scaling access to clean lighting and cooking: lighting a billion lives

•Importance of capacity building

•Developing viable business models

•Need for / challenges of establishing local fabrication

•Need for performance benchmarks

TERI India Africa programme

•How can we achieve an effective integration between initiatives for energy access and other strands of development?

•How can the rate of progression through higher levels of energy access be increased, and ‘lock-in’ at lower levels be avoided?

Breakout groups to consider energy needs and possibilities in rural communities: group 1

• Anchor on core loads, e.g. cell phone tower• Hub villages for enhanced energy services• Approach from service demand perspective• Progression: need to create surpluses which can be

sold• Delivering services that communities actually want

•How should energy access initiatives be constituted so as to enable the poorest families to escape the poverty trap?

•How can a focus on energy provision and use at a community level result in greater overall value than focusing on individual access?

Breakout groups to consider energy needs and possibilities in rural communities: Group 2

• Create awareness of costs and benefits of energy access

• Getting on the first rung: harness existing village-level support systems

• Base around key community services, e.g. hospital, school

• Challenge of dispersed communities: hub and spoke approach

•What are the distinctive energy needs of village-level education, healthcare, clean water and sanitation?

•What are the key challenges and opportunities for meeting those needs?

Breakout groups to consider energy needs and possibilities in rural communities: Group 3

• Need to increase awareness of possibilities and benefits for households

• Consumer rights: problem of fake products• Issue of affordability and availability of credit: for

appliances too• Need for good technical support and maintenance

•What are the distinctive energy needs to support productive enterprises and income generation?

•How can we establish a ‘positive spiral’ where energy access generates income that can be used to progress up the energy/development ladder?

Breakout groups to consider energy needs and possibilities in rural communities: Group 4

• Always situation specific• Existing enterprises: what energy services can

improve productivity and profits?• New enterprises: what new market opportunities

from different levels of energy access (pain points)?• Invest in entrepreneurs• Better knowledge sharing: successful and failed

projects• Effective collaboration: government / NGOs / private

sector

•Tanzania Rural Energy Agency: Advera Mwijage

•Fostering Entrepreneurship: Emma Caddy

•Swedish development cooperation: Samer Fayadh

•Societal Opportunities and Challenges: Helene Ahlborg

•Market based solutions for scaling access to energy in Tanzania: Martijn Veen

•Technical training: Justus Simiyu

Panel Session 3 – other perspectives on village level energy

•Solar lights / home systems: • ‘tipping point’ •Product and demand are there•remaining challenge of distribution

•Challenges and opportunities of community involvement and ownership: public/private/community partnerships

•Role of impact investment: middle road between grants and fully commercial

•Continuing need for capacity building and training: issue of outreach

Panel Session 3 – other perspectives on village level energy

Challenges for SMEs: Seed and working capital / end-user financing / distribution / access to market data / after-sales service

The way forward:

•Innovate to address challenges of scale-up

•Improve policy, law and regulatory framework

•Donors engage with SMEs and fill gaps where private sector financiers will not participate

•attract private capital by mitigating risks •create and aggregate data to promote best practices and improve

forecasting•Continue investment in incubation, business development, and advisory

support
