4. Role of Energy Efficiency Energy Efficiency (EE) means using less energy to achieve the same results . It is a key driver of: ✅ Energy security – Reducing dependency on imported fuels. ✅ Economic growth – Cutting energy costs for businesses and consumers. ✅ Environmental sustainability – Lowering carbon emissions and pollution.

5. (This includes practices like turning off lights, fans, other major electrical loads when not in use) ENERGY MANAGEMENT PYRAMID (Replacing the existing electrical loads with energy efficient appliances such as smart LED lights) (Solar, wind, Biomass energy etc.) ENERGY MANAGEMENT PYRAMID

6. U4E’S REGIONAL ENERGY SAVING ASSESSMENT (ALSO MODEL REGULATION GUIDELINES)

7. DEMAND REDUCTION EXAMPLE: Efficient lighting (CFL) roll out-Kenya ( for us GOV’T BUILDING AND STREET LIGHTING POSSIBLE ) Pilot financed by the Government in 2009/10, implemented by Kenya Power. Involved distribution of 1.25Million CFLs to residential customers countrywide Cost of the Project around $4 Million Impact: Peak Demand Reduction 48 MW Energy savings 61GWh/Yr Energy Cost savings $558K/ Yr Reduction in fuel Costs $6.75M/ Yr Avoided gen. expansion USD 48M GHG emission abated 55,000tons CO 2 / year). 7 Compare this to building a 48 MW power plant!! The cost of a 48 MW solar power plant can be roughly estimated 48 million .  

8. ENERGY EFFICIENCY IS THE CHEAPEST AND QUICKEST WAY TO S4All

9. Article 74 of the Energy act on Energy Efficiency

10. Somaliland Energy Policy on DEMAND SIDE objectives and strategies Key Objective: To formulate, implement and monitor energy efficiency measures for industry and commerce in ways that can enable improvements in financial and environmental benefits that can make Somaliland’s industry more internationally competitive. Strategies: i ) Government, private sector and NGOs to work collaboratively with industrial and service institutions to build capacity, sensitize, provide guidelines and incentives to enable such institutions to adopt more efficient energy end-use technologies which can enable them to avoid high costs, high wastage, poor quality, unreliability and losses of power. ii) Government, private sector, NGOs to provide technology choices and sensitize industries and commercial institutions to switch to cleaner fuels. iii ) Government, private sector, NGOs to promote environmental education, and work towards enforcing environmental performance auditing in ways that promote realization of benefits from savings on energy efficiency and environmental protection

11. Energy Efficiency is not yet institutionalized in Somaliland’s energy policies ( Building Guidelines in the Yearly Work plan ) High technical & commercial losses in the electricity sector. Lack of trained energy auditors & EE specialists. Urgent need for policy frameworks & guidelines to drive EE adoption. ENERGY EFFICIENCY BASELINE IN SOMALILAND

12. 4 key Areas of Energy Efficiency 1. Appliances – Promoting energy-efficient lighting, refrigeration, and HVAC systems. 2. Buildings – Ensuring EE standards in residential & commercial structures. 3. Fuel Switching – Using cleaner energy sources (e.g., solar water heaters, efficient cookstoves ). 4. Loss Reduction – Upgrading grids and reducing electricity system losses.

13. Why first focus on LIGHTING AND COOLING ? Appliances improve our quality of life through the services they make possible: Cooling Lighting Entertainment/ access to information Cleaning Heating Energy efficiency enables you to enjoy the same services while using less electricity .

16. Energy Efficiency of Buildings, the key focus areas include: Building Envelope – Walls, roofs, windows, insulation, and airtightness to minimize heat gain/loss day lighting . Lighting – Use of LEDs, and smart lighting controls to reduce energy consumption. Air Conditioning (HVAC Systems) – Efficient heating, cooling, and ventilation systems, including smart thermostats. Electrical Installations – Energy-efficient electrical distribution, power factor correction, and smart meters . Lifts & Elevators – Use of regenerative braking systems , LED lighting in cabins, and efficient motor control systems.

17. Proposing on how to develop Energy Efficiency Guidelines We need to create a GUIDELINE which compromises MEPS for ‘LIGHTING’ and ‘COOLING’ appliances together with guidelines FOR Level 2 buildings which are as follows: Office buildings Hotels (one- to three-star rated, and four- to five-star rated) Retail buildings or shopping malls (large, medium, and small) Hospitals (large, medium, and small)

18. Energy Consumption 📉 20% reduction in per capita energy consumption yearly. Proposed National Energy Efficiency Targets New Buildings 🏢 25% reduction in energy use in new buildings within 5 years. Public Buildings 🌍 15% improvement in energy efficiency in major public buildings yearly .

19. Leveraging Regional Initiatives 📌 Regional Collaboration : ✅ EAC & SADC – MEPS for lighting & cooling adopted. ✅ EELA Project & UNEP-U4E – Supporting EE policy frameworks. 📌 Capacity Building: ✅ EELA eLearning Platform – Online EE training courses. ✅ Training for Energy Auditors & Energy Managers – Collaboration with Ethiopian Energy Efficiency Experts . 📌 Infrastructure & Market Support : ✅ State-of-the-art EE testing labs in Uganda & Mozambique. ✅ Grants covering 75% of project costs for 8 EE companies (ESCOs).

20. International Initiatives(1) Capacity Building & Technical Support CLASP( Collaborative Labeling and Appliance Standards Program ) – Ready to collaborate on training and capacity building for appliance efficiency standards . Copenhagen Centre for Energy Efficiency – Expert in implementing energy efficiency projects . Energy Efficiency for Development (EE4D) – Offers funding and training opportunities . AFREC’s Energy Efficiency Program – Focuses on EE program development across Africa .

21. International Initiatives(2) Funding Opportunities for EE Projects Clean Cooling Collaborative – Provides financial support for sustainable cooling solutions. BASE (Basel Agency for Sustainable Energy) – Supports innovative solutions like Solar Refrigerators . Sustainable Energy Fund for Africa (SEFA) – AfDB – Key source of funding for Energy Efficiency projects. Energy and Environment Partnership (EEP S&EA) – Facilitates access to finance for EE initiatives .

22. Summary of Proposed Energy Efficiency Roadmap for Somaliland 📌 Short-Term (1-3 Years): 🔹 Develop National Energy Efficiency Guidelines & MEPS for Lighting & Cooling. 🔹 Launch Energy Efficiency Awareness Campaigns (Solar Water Heating, Clean Cooking). 🔹 Conduct National Energy Consumption Survey (Residential, Commercial, Industrial). 🔹 Implement Energy Efficiency in Government & Public Buildings. 📌 Medium-Term (3-7 Years): 🔹 Somaliland Clean Cooling Initiative (Energy-efficient Refrigeration & ACs). 🔹 Street Lighting Energy Efficiency Project (Replacing HPS with LEDs). 🔹 E-waste Management & Recycling Programs. 🔹 Training & Certification for Energy Auditors & Energy Efficiency Project Managers. 📌 Long-Term (7-10 Years): 🔹 Develop Smart Grid & Loss Reduction Strategies (Partnerships who develop SMART GRIDS). 🔹 Expand Energy Efficiency Incentive Programs for Private Sector Adoption. 🔹 Scale Up Energy Efficiency in New Building Designs & Construction.

23. Final Thoughts: Energy Efficiency as the Fastest & Cheapest Path to Energy Security 📌 Kenya’s CFL Lighting Rollout Example (2009/10): ✅ Peak Demand Reduction: 48 MW ✅ Energy Savings: 61 GWh /Year ✅ Fuel Cost Reduction: $6.75M/Year ✅ GHG Emissions Reduction: 55,000 tons CO₂/ Year 💡 A similar initiative in Somaliland can yield substantial cost savings ! 📍 Next Steps: ✔ Finalize EE Guidelines & Policies ✔ Engage Stakeholders & Secure Funding ✔ Train Energy Auditors & Implement EE Projects

24. Discussion Questions How should we encourage energy efficiency in Somaliland’s residential, commercial, and industrial sectors ? How can public awareness and behavioral change campaigns help improve energy conservation among consumers ? What role can renewable energy technologies play in enhancing energy efficiency in Somaliland ? How can the government and private sector collaborate to finance and implement energy efficiency projects effectively ? What are the main barriers to adopting energy-efficient appliances and practices, and how can they be overcome? 01 02 03 04 05
