CONCEPT AND OFF-GRID ENERGY
• 3 year project with related activities in 5 regions – W&E Africa, SE Asia, India, South America
• Off grid energy to rural communities and potential impact• Bottom up approach – listening to ambitions, mapping
on-ground initiatives,• Matching with general progress, leading to policy advice
at national and international level• Give you a background on off-grid renewable energy –
key issue in Paris

e4sv.org
CONCEPT AND OFF-GRID ENERGY
• Energy provision roughly kept track with population growth
• Still an off-grid population + poor quality access • Pico/nano solutions – good penetration, no longer toys,
big guys moving in• Mini-grids – fallacy that private sector will provide• Hub and spoke approach• Metrics a developing field – Multi-tiered access key to
new Sustainability Goals of Energy Access for All
e4sv.org
CONCEPT AND OFF-GRID ENERGY
• Terrat – our first smart village – jatropha as biofuel, from darkness to light, stimulating entrepreneurship, health, community
• ICT as enabling technology via UNIMAS telecentres • Working with remote communities at their pace, on their
terms• Forest signs saving knowledge and passing on to young
generation• Handicrafts – installing ambition, go for high end
products• Deconstruction stories from Myanmar, Vietnam
e4sv.org
CONCEPT AND OFF-GRID ENERGY
• Local examples – Abdallah on Nigerian SERC’s 3 offgrid villages, Lominda on Biogas from cowdung for school cooking, solar for vegetable drying, Yao on Philippines and bicycle power, Anna on island using solar for battery charging
• State of technology – solar forges ahead, storage investment, biofuel energy/cost ratios, floating hydro, geothermal, new appliances (DC), powerful enough for pumps, mobile coverage (google) – watch out for Otech.
• Need for researchers to take into account developing world applications right from the beginning
e4sv.org
WHY ARE WE HERE, WHAT ARE WE DOING?
• WE HAVE SOME NEW THINKINGWE BELIEVE JOURNALISTS ARE BEST WAY TO SPREAD THISVALUE YOUR INSIGHTS, INDEPENDENCE AND INDIVIDUALITY
• WE WANT TO PROVIDE INSPIRATION, CONTEXT, CASE STUDIES, DATA AND CONTACTS TO FOLLOW SMART VILLAGES OVER NEXT 2.5 YEARS
• 2ND WORKSHOP – FIRST IN KIGALI, OTHERS TO FOLLOW IN INDIA, BOLIVIA AND WEST AFRICA
MIX OF PRESENTATIONS, CASE STUIDES, EXERCISES AND DISCUSSION

A RURAL ANALOGUE TO SMART CITIES
• 47% of world’s population• 70% of world’s poor

ENERGY AND RURAL DEVELOPMENT
• 1.3 billion individuals without electricity
• 3 billion suffer from energy poverty
• Overwhelming majority in rural areas (85%)

ENERGY AND DEVELOPMENT: SOUTH KOREA
• Saemaul Undong (New Village movement)• Arguably the most successful modern
integrated rural development strategy• Top-down and bottom-up approach that
balanced local control and participation with central government control

ENERGY AND DEVELOPMENT: SOUTH KOREA
Today he has electricity and television, access to motortillers and mechanical transport, and his life is comfortable, but, like most Koreans his age, he remembers when things were different. In his youth most farming was done by hard stoop labour, and one family could manage only a small farm. Fields were reaped with a sickle, and every day for weeks afterwards farmers like Chang had to spread dried sheaves in the courtyards and thresh them with a flail. Wives had to separate the grain from the chaff with winnowing baskets, and husk each day’s grain laboriously with a mortar and pestle.
Sorensen (1988:3)

LINKING ENERGY AND DEVELOPMENT
• Electricity development?• Lighting, Television vs. Income generation• Energy requirements
…a society’s ability to harness energy [is] the basis of development - Spencer (1897)
…the energy available to man limits what he can do and influences what he will do.
- Cottrell (1955)

LINKING ENERGY AND DEVELOPMENT: S. KOREA
• Agriculture– Electricity-powered processing– Seedlings nurtured in greenhouses – Television programs for farmers (85%)– Diversified crop portfolios– High value cash crops– Larger-scale ranch management for livestock

LINKING ENERGY AND DEVELOPMENT: S. KOREA
• Agriculture– Urban demand– Market structured by cooperatives– Processing and storage infrastructure– Increased information improved rural
household bargaining power

THE SMART VILLAGES INITIATIVE
Focus: pico -systems, stand-alone home systems,
micro-/mini-grids
Policy advice: an insightful, ‘view from the frontline’
of the challenges of village energy provision for
development, and how they can be overcome
Approach: bring together the key players: villagers,
entrepreneurs, academics, NGO’s, financers, regulators
and policy makers etc:
What are the barriers?
How can they be overcome?
What messages to funders and policy makers?
