Take away all vegetation from Earth, and mankind will also disappear.

Take away mankind from the Earth and see how vegetation will flourish.

Environment refers to Natural life on Earth, i.e. the global ecosystem.

Energy is the power to do work.

The Fauna and Flora provided energy from time immemorial, even in the Garden of Eden.

Therefore we need to preserve it, our kids depend on it and we need to protect it.

Climate Change! The weather of an area, averaged over a long period of time.

Global warming The unequivocal and continuing rise in the average temperature of the Earth Surface.

The earth’s temperature has rose by 0.8˚C and greatly after 1980.

Emission of GHG like CO2, Nox, CFC and CH4 has caused the rise of Hurricanes, Storms and Tornadoes.

In Africa it’s a threat to our food security. Caused by burning of fossil fuels forest destruction and Agriculture.

The UN, World Bank got together to launch the program partnered with OFID, IEA etc.

Sustainable, signaling the issue of Continuity and Environmentally Friendly.

“Energy is the Golden thread that runs through sustainable Development”

“As an African, Energy Poverty to me is a Personal Matter”, Kandeh Yumkella.

Is Energy that important?

Africa loses 2-3% of its GDP because of inadequate energy.

Women and Children become the substitute for the lack of energy.

WHO says there are about 4 million deaths a year because of inhalation of dangerous gas: lets save them.

Energy access and Renewable Energy: because they are easier to establish 1-1.5 years. Jobs are created.

NATIONAL ENERGY POLICY The sustainable use of biomass resources;

To support the transformation of the economy from primary commodity production to value-addition, beneficiation and new knowledge-based industries, thereby creating jobs, reducing poverty and maintaining macroeconomic stability.

SADC Regional Energy Access Strategy and Action Plan of 2010; proportion of people without such access is halved within 10 years for each end use and halved again in successive 5-year periods

ZIMASSET

Energy is a key enabler to productivity and socio-economic development;

Increased investment in infrastructure such as energy and power development;

Deliberate development of solar and wind energy initiatives.

100 MW being built as we speak.

Increasing the mixing share. Europe has taken the lead in this field in terms of harnessing Solar and Wind. Norway and New Zealand for example;

Britain has per 1 turbine per 100Km2, Germany has 7, Denmark has 11.

Harnessing Energy is key especially in Africa, we burn biomass and yet there is technology to gasify it.

To assist energy access, renewable energy is quicker and can attend to all off grid matters.

Saudi Arabia has a 2032 target of 30% in the energy mix;

We produce 67% from hydro.

Investment procedures are strict, very strict!

There is need for security of investments and feasibility studies. Assistance can be granted by OFID.

Policy implementation, tariff, strategies.

Off-taker Risk; hence World Bank and the UN;

Energy issues are a matter of politics, locally and globally.

Japan In the last 40 years has doubled in GDP an not in consumption;

Inefficiency hurts the environment, pocket and the utility;

Sharing the available energy is key. Backed by policy;

Savings of at least 15% and upto 50% in some countries; money saved is used for developmental issues.

National Energy Efficiency Audit underway;

Ring-fence tariff;

Lack of funds for Initiatives;

Tariff signal is totally wrong;

Prepaid meter has helped, but virus has spread;

ZIMASSET says there is a potential savings of 400MW but other experts say if you include the supply side then we can reach upto 1 000MW.

Hampers production;

Causes accidents;

Destroys machines;

MISSION

EiL provides expert professional advise to clients in energy markets in all aspects of primary energy

supply and energy conversion, energy transportation and distribution, retail supply and

utilization, regulatory frameworks, tariff methodologies and tariff structures. EiL leverages

the hands-on knowledge, skills, experience, networks and motivation of its people and

networks to assist companies to improve their energy productivity and business profitability for

sustainable development.

We do Energy Audits to identify wastages and Opportunities;

We do Power Quality Analysis;

Energy Information Archiving;

Real time energy info access;

a. Qualification

b. Quantification
