African Regional Workshop on Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions PORT ENERGY EFFICIENCYAND RENEWABLE ENERGY STRATEGIC PLANNING B. Aisha GOLAMAULLY Climate Change Division Ministry of Environment, Sustainable Development, and Disaster and Beach Management Lemigo Hotel, Kigali, Rwanda 17 August 2015
BACKGROUND Main Sector targeted: Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Planning in the Mauritius Ports Authority (MPA) and the Cargo Handling Coorporation (i.e., Area 1 and 2 for Phase 1 project). MPA being a member Green Port initiative intends to join 55 key ports towards reducing its greenhouse gas emissions through implementation of energy efficiency and renewable energy projects. Type of Action: Implementation of energy efficiency measures based on an energy audit/energy management system of the port areas. Technology: Energy Conservative Opportunities and Solar Photovoltaic as low carbon technology Greenhouse gas covered by the action: Carbon Dioxide Estimated mitigation potential: 3,100 to 4,200 tCO2/year Expected timeframe for preparation: 4 years Implementing agency, key partners and stakeholders: Ministry of Energy and Public Utilities, Central Electricity Board, Ministry of Environment, ministry of Finance, NGOs, private sectors. 2
DESCRIPTIONOFMITIGATIONACTION (NAMA) Global Objective: To ensure a broad range of measures in strategic energy management to make the Port more energy efficient and environment friendly The project aims to create an enabling framework and capacities for tools to attract private sector finance and international climate finance, which will enable a rapid shift to renewable energy in the port. Components: Feasibility and Implementation of Energy Conservation Opportunities Implementation of the Strategic Management Plan which includes an action plan, comprising energy efficiency measures, technologies and practices. Establishing, implementing and Management System Implementation of the renewable energy potential PV generated electricity maintaining the MPA Energy 3
PLANNED ACTIVITIES Preparation of the NAMA design document: USD 50,000 Estimated Project Cost for Phase 1 (Area 1 and 2): USD 1.5 million Activities for the NAMA are: Implementation of Energy Conservative Opportunities Implementation of solar photovoltaic as one of the most effective renewable energy initiatives for the port. Capacity building of staff for designing NAMA Establishment of a MRV system for the port NAMA Financial support in grant to cover the cost of designing the NAMA and implementation of the measures 4
POTENTIALFORTRANSFORMATIONALCHANGE ANDSUSTAINABLEDEVELOPMENTBENEFITS The programme will build capacity among the officials of the port area to develop and implement NAMAs in context of achieving sustainable development through local carbon growth paths. The sustainable development strategy of Mauritius identifies energy as the key driver of economic growth and also a key factor in stability of balance of trade. Energy is also the biggest source of GHG emissions in the economy (contributes to 78% of GHG emissions in Mauritius). Thus NAMA development and implementation capacity will enhance not only benefits for climate change but also sustainable development in the country. 5
RELEVANCYOFTHEPROPOSED NAMA INTHE NATIONALPOLICYCONTEXT The NAMA proposed for making the port area more energy efficient and environmentally sound fully supports the Long-Term Energy Strategy of Mauritius to 2025 which is the political intent in the country. The NAMA is also in line with the Government Programme 2015-2019 in achieving a target of at least 35% sustainable renewable energy by 2025. 6
