Africa Clean Energy
Corridor (ACEC)
ACTION PILLARS:
Zoning and Resource AssessmentIdentification of high resource zones for RE development.
Country and Regional PlanningConsideration of cost-effective RE options for power generation in national and regional plans.
Enabling Frameworks for InvestmentOpening markets to IPPs, reducing the costs of RE financing and facilitating power trade.
Capacity BuildingDevelopment of skills to build, plan, operate, power grids with higher RE shares.
Public InformationAwareness raising and promotion of the ACEC and its benefit.

1. RE Resource Assessment
and Zoning
Developing cost-effective renewable power plants in areas of
high resource potential and routes for the efficient
transmission of electricity to load centres.
A multi-criteria spatial analysis of renewable energy resources for the
identification of cost effective, realistically achievable RE resource
development zones/ project opportunity areas.
Objectives
• Provide countries with RE resource assessments, identifying realistically
achievable RE zones for future ground validation by the countries and
information for investors.
• Facilitate coordinated planning for development of RE resources.
• Inform long-term transmission planning and leverage existing and planned
electricity infrastructure to promote more rapid development of RE plants.
Scope of the Study
• Resource assessment and zoning for Wind, solar PV, and solar CSP
in the Eastern and Southern African Power Pool countries.
Renewable Energy Zoning
Outputs of the study
• Report with methodology, assumptions and results
• Interactive PDF RE zones maps
• RE zones ranking and supply curve tool
• Maps on Global Atlas, and mapre.lbl.gov
• Input and output geospatial datasets to be open source and downloadable (if not proprietary)

Swaziland:
• Grid Code adopted, and RE IPP policy under finalization
• RE being integrated into national energy policy and legislation
• Integrated resource planning under development
Mozambique:
• RE resources mapping for the whole country done
• RE feed-in-tariffs adopted
• Rural Electrification Strategy with RE focus revised for private sector involvement
• Measures for promoting small hydro under consideration
Zambia:
• Mapping of RE resources and development of feed-in-tariffs
• Integrated resource planning under development
Djibouti:
• RRA used as basis for a geothermal intervention of USAID
• Inclusion of RE in the electricity Master Plan and Electricity Law
• Tax exemption for all RE equipment
2.Enabling Frameworks
for Investment RRA: Impact in ACEC countries
Enabling frameworks will reduce investment risks, attract private
investments and ensure the transition towards a reliable power system,
based-upon renewables.
Regulatory Empowerment Project
• Needs-based advisory service facility
• Supporting effective governance frameworks
• Transferring global good practices
• Empowering relevant decision makers
• Regulatory work on Planning Governance Project initiated in Namibia
and Zimbabwe as well as in the SAPP region
• Supporting good governance for the development, maintenance and
implementation of long-term power system plans with RE.
2.Enabling Frameworks
for Investment
3. National and Regional
Planning
SPLAT Planning Model
Least-cost optimization tool
for African power sector
Investment needs 2015 to 2030:
USD 20-25Bn/yr in generation
USD 15 Billion/yr for T&D
4. Capacity Building
Develop skills and strengthen institutions to build, plan, operate,
maintain and govern power grids and markets with higher shares of
renewable electricity.
- Training workshops held for RE Zoning, SPLAT planning, governance
frameworks, rid integration of RE.
- Practitioner’s Guide for grid integration of variable RE
developed.

IRENA’s engagement in West Africa: RRA
Senegal
Adoption of the Decree No. 2011-2013 providing conditions of
power purchase and remuneration for electricity generated by RE
plants and the conditions of their connection to the grid;
• Adoption of the Decree No. 2011-2014 provides the conditions of
power purchase of surplus RE-based electricity from self-producers
• Development of FiT for RE with the support of EU
• WB- strategy and action plan on RE deployment in Senegal
Niger
• New rural electrification agency created
• Reallocation of part of the tax on electricity for rural electrification as
part of the internal resource mobilization mechanism for RE
promotion 16
IRENA’s engagement in West Africa: RRA
The Gambia
• Enactment of Re law and establishment of RE fund
• GREC revived, capacity building activities for key stakeholders of
the RE sector
• Development of standards and labels for RE equipment
Mauritania
• The Government is taking concrete steps for various fronts to
promote RE based off-grid electrification options

IRENA’s engagement in
West AfricaIRENA – Abu Dhabi Fund for Development (ADFD) funded projects:
• Mali (USD 9m, 4MW hybrid solar-diesel for 30 villages)
Loan agreements signed, under implementation, Government co-funding.
• Mauritania (USD 5m, 1MW wind)
Loan agreements signed, under implementation, UNDP GEF co-funding.
• Mauritania (USD 6m, 1MW hybrid wind-solar PV-hydro)
Site appraisals scheduled.
• Sierra Leone (USD 9m, 4MW grid connected solar PV)
loan agreements signed, under implementation, IsDB and ECREEE co-funding.
System Planning Test (SPLAT)
Least-cost energy supply options are explored under different policy assumptions for West
African Power Pool countries. Trainings on the use of this tool planned in October/
November.
Next steps:
• Technical stakeholder meeting in September/ October in West Africa for identifying
elements for a West – ACEC action agenda
• Endorsement of the Action Agenda by Ministers/the Region.
