Embedeness in National Policies and Strategies NAMA Technical Interventions NAMA Institutional Approval Process NAMA Capacity Building Needs NAMA Institutional Coordination Structure NAMA National and International Finance NAMA Measuring, Reporting & Verification NAMA Implementation Plan 2
In accordance with national policies: NAMA objective Improve electricity access Improve the share of renewable energies Reduce GHG emission Provide income generation and new business opportunities Improve private sector involvement Achieve additional SD benefits National strategy & target NDP4, OGEMP OGEMP NCCC NDP4 NDP4 Vision 2030, NDP4 4
Are the NAMA objectives and targets fully aligned with the national policies and the broader national context? Is the scope of the NAMA relevant in the national context? Does the NAMA support the achievements of national targets defined in the national policies and strategies? Can the NAMA be linked with Intended National Determined Contributions (INDCs) and help the country to achieve the targets set forth in the INDCs? Is the NAMA a political priority and has full support from the key Ministries? 5
Mini-grid solutions in rural communities, using renewable energy sources, providing following services: Households: electricity for daily lighting (2 lamps minimum), radio and phone charging; Rural Productivity Zones (RPZ): capacity for income generation opportunities for entrepreneurs and community projects (agro processing units, ice-making units, cooperative milling, sewing unit, internet access, charging of phones, etc.); Public buildings: electricity for lighting and internet (schools, government buildings, health centers), computers/printers, mobile charger stations and basic clinic instruments in health centers); 7
Criterion Location Description Any off-grid area as per OGEMP , at least 10 km away from the next power line Energy supply: solar PV, wind or combination of those. Technology Battery: Batteries are recommended Backup: Fossil-fuel back-up systems are allowed, however, electricity from renewable energiesat least 75 percent. Minimum of 20 households. Dwellers: at least 2 sources of lighting, radio and phone charging. Opportunities for income generation activities: Agro processing units, Ice-making units, Cooperative milling, Internet access, Charging of phones Activities will be considered via the Point Score system Electricity for 24 hours per day. A project must reach a total Point Scoreof at least 200. The sub-score for income generation activities must be at least 80. Operational within 18 months of contract award. share of Connections Service level Point Score Implementat ion Funding Maximum grant funding is 80 percent of total investment costs. Operation costs must be covered from income of electricity sales. 8
Reverse Auctioning: Offers accepted until budget is used up Proposals are ranked by their Value for Money Index (VMI) Point Scoring System is applied ??? = ?????????????????? ???? ????????????????????????$ 9
Energy Shop approach further developed into Energy Zones, by adding Rural Productivity Zones (RPZ): In off-grid areas as defined in the OGEMP; New stand-alone RE installations (solar PV, wind, hydro) to provide electricity in one building/compound; Promotes new entrepreneurial activities by providing space and electricity for internet cafes, sewing workshops, ice-making, agro- processing, etc.; Possibility to charge batteries, on daily basis or after two days to use them for lighting and other basic needs; Energy appliances (solar lanterns, light bulbs, etc.) will be sold in the Energy Zones, with focus on rural electrification with renewable energies; 10
Eligibility criterion Location Description The Energy Zone must be off-grid as defined in the OGEMP Energy Zone Operator In business for at least 3 years Must provide information to proof stability of business Space There must be minimum space of 50 m for income generating activities in the building of the company or in adjacent buildings (maximum distance from building of operator is 50m). Alternatively, there should be space to erect additional buildings to host income-generating activities. It must be technically feasible to install solar PV and the related battery storage. Roof-mounted solar PV is preferred. The operator must provide a list of potential income generating activities with an estimation of approximate demand. Technical feasibility Income generation activities 11
Does the selection and the design of the interventions ensure the achievements of the NAMA objectives and targets? Are the eligibility criteria well designed, broad enough to encourage participation but also sufficiently precise to allow for exclusion of offers that would not fully support the NAMA objectives? Is there sufficient competition for reverse auctioning? Will there be sufficient demand for income generating activities? 12
Is the approval process sufficiently streamlined to allow for implementation at scale? Will the private sector take initiative? Is there a mandate for suspension of funds in case of non-performance of the NCA? Are the suggested deliverables for each entity included in an annual workplan and budget? 16
Component 1: Implementing NAMA institutional set-up and processes (technical and financial project cycle), including staff training; Implementing NAMA related regulations and design the contractual conditions; Preparing NAMA project documentation (application forms, call and tender documents, procurement rules, monitoring, evaluation and reporting forms, etc.); Component 2: Awareness raising, marketing side of the NAMA after implementation and will provide: -general capacity development to create broad awareness of NAMA, -specific stakeholder-oriented capacity development; 18
Does the Capacity Development support address the needs of the institutions, communities and private sector? Will the length of the support be sufficient to encourage a transformative change in the sector and allow smooth continuation after the NAMA implementation phase is over? Are the cost estimates appropriate? 19
Does the NAMA have a champion that supports the NAMA development and implementation? Are the key Ministries involved in the key decision making processes; Does the NAMA have full support from the National Coordinating Authority (NCA) and can the NCA incorporate the NAMA programme into its regular activities? Is the NCA / NAMA Approver / NDA (vis a vis the GCF) in different Ministries and is coordination between the different Ministries sufficient for a successful coordination of the NAMA? Does the National Implementing Entity (NIE) have sufficient human and technical resources to implement the NAMA interventions? If not, is there a technical support structure in place to allow for capacity development over time? 22
National Finance: International Finance: Capacity building, Grant contribution Intervention A (investment costs for mini-grids), Capacity building, Grant contribution to Intervention A, covering part of the investment costs for mini-grids, Grant contribution Intervention B (costs of Energy Shops and part of costs of Energy Zones), Grant contribution to Intervention B, covering costs of Energy Shops and part of costs of Energy Zones; Payments by consumers (households and companies), Contributions to the Maintenance Fund; 24
Intervention A: 10 mini-grids 100 kW installed capacity Average costs US$ 7,500/kW Total investment costs US$ 7.5 million Intervention B: 13 Energy Zones 10 kW installed capacity US$ 7,000 for Energy Shop US$ 190,000 for solar PV system Total investment costs US$ 2.47 million US$ Namibian government Private sector NAMA donor Intervention A Intervention B Capacity building Total 1,875,000 893,000 405,000 1,875,000 USD 0 USD 0 3,750,000 1,647,000 875,000 3,173,000 1,875,000 6,272,000 Total NAMA Costs: US$ 11.32 million 25
Are the overall cost estimates realistic and appropriate? Is the national financial contribution realistic? Are the Government allocations designed in a manner that support transformational change and keep the NAMA on-going once the international donor(s) exit the programme? Is the level of International funding sufficient? Are the national and international funding streams robust designed and include a payment at delivery principle? 26
Is the GHG ERs quantification methodology robust, built on existing standards and allow the NCA to track the achievements in a transparent manner? Is the SD reporting transparent and can improvements over the monitoring period be unambigiously monitored? Is the financial support provided as part of the NAMA also incorporated into the monitoring plan? Can the NIE implement the MRV plan, technically and from a human staffing point of view? Are the monitoring intervals feasible? 31
Are the implementation timelines realistic? Is the duration of capacity development support provided sufficient to achieve lasting results and a transformational change in the sector? 34
Several multilateral and bilateral institutions can guide you through the challenges of a complex NAMA design: UNDP (MDG Carbon/LECB NAMA Development) Climate Technology Centre and Network (Development) UNEP DTU (Development) GIZ (Development and Implementation) NAMA Facility (NAMA Implementation) NEFCO (Development and Implementation) 35
