RESUME and PROFILE

Oumar DIAW Division Director, Market Systems Operations

West Africa Power Pool

I’m an electro-mechanical Engineer who has spent 20 years on thermal power generation. Since 2004 I am working in the West African Power Pool where I am in charge of regional electricity market development and operations. I have a Master degree in Business Administration.

The West African Power Pool is an Association of Power Utilities of ECOWAS Member Countries which has as its objective to provide citizens of the West African States with sufficient affordable and reliable electric power. It includes private and public companies of the 14 ECOWAS members. WAPP now has 31 members. It started operations in 2006.

RESUME

He also has a Master’s Degree in International Management (Oil, Gas and Energy) with over 18 years of experience working in various fields of Engineering, Project Management and Information Communication Technology (ICT). He worked with some Electrical Consulting firms in Nigeria, the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) under the UNCTAD-Automated System of Customs Data (ASYCUDA Project), The Gambia Customs and Excise, Tol-Communication etc. He joined USAID/NEXANT in April 2006 as an IT/MIS Specialist providing Technical Assistance to the West African Power Pool. He was responsible for all ICT Projects and at the same time coordinating the ICT development and deployment of another ECOWAS Institution notably the West Africa Gas Pipeline Authority (WAGPA) located in Abuja, Nigeria which was supported by USAID/NEXANT. Since assumption of duty at WAPP, Mr. Fajemirokun has managed and supported various Projects for the WAPP Information and Coordination Center (WAPP-ICC). These Projects includes the Feasibility study and Basic Design of the WAPP Information and Coordination Centre from a grant of USD2.5 Million provided by the Korean Government in 2008, the Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) and Management Information System (MIS) strengthening for the WAPP Secretariat and member utilities from a grant of $627,000 provided by the World Bank, the WAPP Dark Fibre Project. While also supporting the automations in the WAPP Secretariat, Mr. Fajemirokun was also very instrumental in putting together project documents to secure the grant of 30 million Euro from the European Commission towards the establishment of the WAPP Regional Electricity Market development.

Organisational Structure

WAPP Master Plan and Implementation Strategy

• 1st Master Plan for WAPP adopted by ECOWAS Council of Ministers in 1999 through Regulation C/REG.7/12/99

• Master Plan was revised in 2005 and adopted by the ECOWAS Heads of State and Government through Decision A/DEC.7/01/05

• Revised Master Plan was updated in 2012 and adopted by ECOWAS Heads of State and Government through Supplementary Act A/SA.12/02/12.

• Update of 2019 ECOWAS Master Plan is awaiting approval of Council of Ministers.

11/16/2018

• 2012-2025 Master Plan has been facing difficulties and has, therefore, not been implemented in line with the initial expectations.

• The delay in the project implementation of both production and transport of electricity is the result of a series of exogenous and/or endogenous causes not foreseen at the project planning stage.

Too low consideration for renewable resources in the sub region.

An approach exclusively based on economic aspects (lower cost approach) without taking into account the notion of risk.

An overly optimistic implementation schedule.

A too generic implementation strategy.

Provisional salient outcomes of the 2019-2033 Master Plan (Approval in progess!!)

75 (#) regional projects, deemed priority, with an estimated total investmentcost of US$36.39 billion;

Of these, 28 (#) Transmission line projects of approximately 22,932 km of high-voltage transmission lines at an estimated cost of US$10.48 billion;

47 (#) generation projects with a total capacity of approximately 15.49 GW atan estimated cost of US$25.91 billion;

Given that the WAPP, in the short term, shall achieve the power systemintegration of the 14 mainland ECOWAS Member States, the priority list alsocontains transmission line projects that shall enable WAPP interconnectbeyond its current area of coverage in order to among others, furthereconomically diversify its energy mix. These include the northern part ofAfrica through Morocco and the Central African Power Pool to Inga.

The generation projects comprise: 31.1% thermal projects operating mainly with natural gas and 68.9% renewable energy projects (10.67 GW) of which 29.5%

involve Variable Renewable Energy (VRE) projects (3.15 GW solar,wind);

VRE projects constitute 20.33 % of the total generation in the priority list. Approval of Master Plan in progress and so the above are provisional.

The definition of a strategy related to the deployment of a "SMART GRID" was initiated by the Distribution and Marketing division in March 2014 through the deployment of smart meters.

This deployment is the first building block of the SMART GRID CIE and was justified by:

1. Willingness to respond to operating requirements specific to the local environment (fraud, billing ratio)2. Provide customers with high added value services

Main objective of our SMART GRID strategy

Take advantage of the opportunities offered by new technologies to improve our operational efficiency

and provide innovative services with high added value

Smart Grid Strategy

RESUME

Amadou LY CEO

AKILEE SA

Born in December 14th 1981, Amadou LY is a PhD and Engineer in Physics graduated from Grenoble INP in France; Dr LY also hold a Master of Research degree in Material Science. He used to work for EDF for 7 years first at the R&D center of “Les Renardières”, then as a field Engineer on the construction site of the EPR project in Flamanville (head of series of the 3rd generation, with a capacity of 1650 MW). In 2013 after 14 years past in France, he decided to go back home in Senegal and start his own business as engineering consulting firm called i-NES (integrated-Negawatt Energy Services). At the same time, he joined simultaneously one of the most famous regional Management and Strategy Consulting firm in West and Central Africa, Performances GROUP (at that time called Performances Management Consulting). At Performances GROUP as an Associate, Dr LY has led several missions for several power utilities (including Senelec, CIE in Ivory Coast, EDM in Mali…), governmental agencies in charge of energy efficiency and renewable energy issues and international institutions (GIZ and UEMOA). That has been a great opportunity to demonstrate his skills in the energy sector policy drawing as well as strategy and organization definition and operation; that also helped him build a strong network in that key sector throughout ECOWAS. Through i-NES he also conducted more the 30 energy audits and feasibility studies for industries, commercial buildings and institutions like AFD (through its program SUNREF). Currently Dr LY is one of the key consultants of UEMOA and OIF, through IFDD based in Quebec (Canada), for the elaboration and operationalization of energy efficiency regulation framework in the UEMOA sub-region. Fully interested by energy sector issues, and facing a lot of difficulties to develop the activities of i-NES due to the unsuitability of its business model, Dr LY had been inspired shifting to innovative solution dedicated to both power utilities and their customers, first of all considering the fact that reducing energy consumption, and therefore energy bills, for customers, if made smartly can be also useful for power utilities. Therefore Dr LY has gathered his talents with other friends skilled in IT and computer science, to develop AKILEE a technological based energy services provider. AKILEE solution has been started in 2014 and 2016, discussions have started with Senelec which ended in 2017 by the acquisition of 34% of share. AKILEE’s capital is 882.400.000 FCFA. Dr LY is the CEO of AKILEE, and the owner of 38% of the shares.

USTDA West Africa Brief: Smart Grid West African countries are actively pursuing ambitious power generation and electrification goals. The three strongest markets in the West African region outside of Nigeria are Senegal, Côte d’Ivoire and Ghana. All three of these countries have plans to significantly expand energy generation, including from intermittent sources like solar and wind, over the next decade, and all of them aim to achieve universal electrification by 2030 or before. Even without the addition of significant intermittent sources, much of the distribution infrastructure in these countries is antiquated, and all suffer high rates of outages and distribution losses. In 2015, total distribution losses were as high as approximately 18.6 percent in Senegal, 16.7 percent in Côte d’Ivoire, and 23 percent in Ghana. These goals and challenges have led to an increased interest in West Africa in: 1. Technologies and strategies to decrease transmission and distribution losses; 2. Technologies and strategies to stabilize the grid and integrate intermittent renewable energies; and 3. “Offigrid” solutions like microgrids that can be used in remote communities (with our without eventual connection to the grid) as a strategy to reach universal energy access goals. Côte d’Ivoire

Over the last five years, Côte d’Ivoire has emerged as one of the world’s fastest growing economies and a key market in Francophone West Africa. The African Development Bank (“AfDB”) reported real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth at an estimated 8.4 percent in 2016 and 7.3 percent in 2017. In addition to large government investments in infrastructure and agriculture, widespread reforms led Côte d’Ivoire to be listed in the World Bank Doing Business Report’s list of top 10 reformers in 2014 and 2015. Côte d’Ivoire was also recently listed as a top investment destination by the 2018 Africa Investment Index, ranking 5th among over 50 countries due to its positive business environment, high growth, demography and social capital, and low risk.

The Ivoirian government aims to achieve 42 percent renewable energy and 100 percent

energy access by 2030. The government is also committed to reducing transmission losses. Meeting these goals will require significant grid modernization and the incorporation of microgrid solutions. While much stronger than some of the other grids in the region, the Ivoirian power sector faces challenges such as transmission losses, power outages, integration of renewables, and difficulty with customer payment collection. Smart grid solutions could be helpful in addressing all of these challenges.

USTDA is currently supporting a study for the Ivoirian Société des Energies de Côte

d’Ivoire (CI-ENERGIES) to evaluate various smart grid solutions and recommend a plan to implement improvements. Ghana

Ghana’s GDP growth almost doubled from 2016 to 2017, from 3.5 percent in 2016 to 6.3 percent in 2017, according to the AfDB. This growth was largely due to macroeconomic

2

stability and development in non-oil sectors. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) projects that the economy will grow by 8.3 percent in 2018. Ghana ranks 12th in the Sub-Saharan Africa region under the World Banks’ Ease of Doing Business index, which makes it the top economy by this measure within West Africa. Ghana’s government has promoted private sector-led growth initiatives, and President Nana Addo Akufo-Addo has set an agenda in motion for “Ghana beyond aid,” a plan to boost Ghana’s social and economic progress.

Ghana has a goal of reaching 10 percent renewable energy and universal electrification

by 2030. Ghana has made some progress in utilizing smart grid technologies, including introducing two-way metering for a handful of its customers and employing Supervisory Control Automation and Data Accumulation (SCADA) systems in two major cities (Kumasi and Takoradi). However, Ghana still suffers from one of the highest rates of distribution losses in Sub-Saharan Africa. In 2013, USTDA provided technical assistance to Ghana (ECG Smart Grid Applications, Activity No. 2013-11002) to develop the planning and technical design aspects of a high-level distribution systems integration strategy. Two of the recommended technologies have been procured - Geographic Information System (GIS) and Computer Information System (CIS) software. The government plans several other procurements in the coming years.

The Ghanaian government has also noted its interest in exploring energy storage,

particularly the Ghanaian Bui Power Authority, which is implementing one of Ghana’s major hydroelectric projects. Ghana is also pursuing microgrids to achieve universal energy access. USTDA is providing a grant to conduct a feasibility study for microgrids to support the Ghanaian Ministry of Energy to provide 67 un-electrified communities in Afram Plains South access to electricity, supporting the Government of Ghana’s goal of universal electricity access by 2020. The project aims to pair USTDA assistance with U.S. Export-Import Bank financing for implementation of the minigrids

Senegal

Following the Government of Senegal’s 2014 adoption of the Plan for an Emerging

Senegal (PES), a national development plan that was designed to help the country break out of the low-growth of 2007-2013, economic growth accelerated to 6.5 percent in 2016 and 2017. This high growth rate makes Senegal one of the best-performing economies in Sub-Saharan Africa and is partially due to higher and more diversified exports. Senegal’s projected economic growth in 2018 is 6.8-6.9 percent.

Senegal has one main grid that reaches across the northern part of the country and a few

smaller, independent regional grids that are not interconnected with the main grid. Through the WAPP regional plan, Senegal is in the process of building a separate 225kV transmission line that would run along the southern part of the country and connect to both the existing northern grid and the Gambia and Guinea grids. Senegal recently introduced utility-scale solar power, and it plans to add significantly more solar power to meet its goal of 15 percent renewable energy by 2020. With these changes in intermittent energy additions, the government is keen to introduce smart metering, smart inverters, and battery storage to better manage the grid.

Microgrids are also an important part of Senegal’s strategy to reach universal electrification by 2030. Senegal’s current electricity access rate is 55 percent. The country is divided into concessions, with each concessionaire responsible for developing energy access – through microgrids, solar home systems etc. – in their concession. The Société Nationale d'Electricité du Sénégal (SENELEC) separately recently announced its intention to procure 10,000 meters for the country’s microgrids.

USTDA is currently supporting one of the eight concessions for offgrid development with a feasibility study for approximately 30 microgrids and piloting of metering technology. The Millennium Challenge Corporation (“MCC”) is planning to include investments in transmission, distribution, and microgrids as part of the Energy Compact that it is currently developing with the government of Senegal. The MCC Compact is expected to be completed by the end of 2018 and to go into effect in late 2019. This will create additional resources for smart grid solutions.

West African Power Pool (WAPP) and ECOWAS Regional Electricity Regulatory Authority (ERERA)

The WAPP is a “Specialized Institution” of the Economic Community of West African

States (“ECOWAS”), and the ECOWAS Regional Electricity Regulatory Authority (ERERA) is the regulator of regional cross-border trade of electricity in West Africa. WAPP and ERERA members include: Benin, Côte d’Ivoire, Burkina Faso, Ghana, The Gambia, Guinea, Guinea Bissau, Liberia, Mali, Niger, Nigeria, Senegal, Sierra Leone, and Togo. WAPP’s goal is to integrate the national power systems of West Africa into a unified regional electricity market that provides regular and reliable energy at competitive costs to the citizens of the ECOWAS member countries. WAPP promotes and develops power generation and transmission infrastructure and coordinates power exchange among the ECOWAS member states. In some cases, WAPP receives donor funds directly and manages contracts with developers/contractors; in other cases, WAPP provides support to its member states to implement projects.

WAPP has some experience with smart grid applications and has expressed an eagerness

to integrate more smart grid technologies into its projects. For example, the World Bank financed a WAPP transmission line connecting a substation in Ghana to a substation in Burkina Faso that included a remote monitoring system to stabilize the connected grids. WAPP is in the early stages of building dozens of new transmission lines with donor support. Below is a map of WAPP transmission lines that are already completed and those that are proposed. Working with WAPP is also an opportunity to encourage the adoption regionally of best distribution practices and modern grid technologies.
