Introduction
• Three pillars for Energy for Peace
Breakdown Plenary
• Solutions oriented brainstorming
• Clustering of each items
• Sharing of potential policy solutions
15:30 Opening remarks
15:40 Keynote and workshop explanation
15:50 Breakdown into three groups (pillars) • Long term planning • Urban black out • Rural electrification
16:00 Solutions-oriented brainstorming • Participants will write their ideas in post-its and put in the white board • Each will explain one of their ideas
16:20 Clustering of proposals • Participants will make groups/clusters of the ideas proposed • Will discuss common points and different perspectives • Concrete policy recommendations will be discussed
16:30 Sharing of potential policy solutions • Each group will share with the plenary the ideas discussed and common points
found
16:50 Wrap up • Synthesis of proposals and policy recommendations
Summary of recommendations • Group 1: urban blackout
• Supply side and demand side • Increasing capacity -> energy mix • Improvements to the grid -> not only side but also quality (energy losses) • Reduce investment bottlenecks • Energy conservation / efficiency -> measures to reduce consumption for large consumers
• Group 2: rural electrification • Decentralized system • Policy engagement with minorities • Decision making -> how to design in each area: how to participatory discussion in local area ->
what support is needed • Technology -> local appropriateness • Investment -> support to local entrepreneurs for rural electrification
• Group 3: long term • Prioritize local priority needs -> bottom up • Open process to include minorities and local communities • Large scale hydro -> moratorium • Inclusive decision process • Gender aspects -> women/men needs
