March 12, 2019 This presentation was made possible by the support of the American people through the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). It was prepared by Crown Agents-USA and Abt Associates for the Climate Economic Analysis for Development, Investment, and Resilience (CEADIR) Activity. The authors’ views do not necessarily reflect the views of USAID or the United States Government.

  2. Objectives of the Forum • Explore emerging markets in Africa, Asia, and Latin America for U.S. smart grid, mini-grid, and energy storage suppliers and investors • Examine effective business models to overcome barriers for expanding sales and investments • Discuss strategies and opportunities for U.S. smart grid, mini-grid, and energy storage suppliers to access finance and connect with partners • Facilitate networking with industry partners and investors

  3. WELCOME AND OPENING REMARKS Matthew Ogonowski, USAID Bureau for Economic Growth, Education and Environment (E3) Mikell O’Mealy, CEADIR

  4. Transformation at USAID “Each of USAID’s programs should look forward to the day when foreign assistance is no longer necessary. Each country must lead its own development journey by financing and implementing solutions to its own development challenges.” - Mark Green USAID Administrator

  5. Transformation at USAID USAID will position four key areas to effectively advance national security and support host country partners on their journey to self-reliance: • WORKFORCE • USAID is committed to strengthening the mobility and agility of its entire workforce to thrive in, and adapt to, increasingly complex and challenging situations and opportunities. • STRUCTURE • Through structural changes, USAID is creating a more field-oriented, functionally aligned and responsive Agency capable of ending the need for foreign assistance. • PROGRAMS • USAID will prioritize programs that incentivize reform, strengthen in-country capacity and locally-led development, improve the enabling environment for financial self-reliance, and catalyze sustainable, enterprise-driven development. • PROCESSES • USAID’s processes will be field-driven, outcome-focused and data-informed, supporting national security priorities and using clear and objective metrics to assess each host country partner’s journey to self-reliance.

  6. What Is A Smart Grid? A modernized electricity transmission and distribution network that includes two-way communication systems and enables the integration of technologies that will modernize the grid to improve its efficiency, reliability, sustainability, and security. (Commerce/ITA Top Markets Report) • Combination of heterogeneous components and processes (large and small generators, IT systems, advanced metering infrastructure, automation, advanced data analysis techniques, cybersecurity) • Bi-directional • Larger number of proactive players and sectors compared to traditional grid • Fundamental role of advanced IT • Supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems • Internet of things (IoT)

  7. A View Of The Smart Grid

  8. Current Investment in Smart Distribution Networks Source: IEA World Energy Investment Report, 2018

  9. Rapid Growth in Smart Grids Projected • Factors typical of emerging markets will contribute to significant growth in coming years: • High GDP growth rates • Expanding rural energy access and electrification • Ongoing transmission and distribution losses • Aggressive renewable energy targets • Declines in prices of AMI and smart grid components

  10. Projected Growth In Smart Meters • Over 40 million smart meters installed in 50 emerging market countries in 2017 (Northeast Group, LLC) • 2018-2022: • 250 million smart meters deployed • Over $67 billion in smart grid infrastructure investments • Nearly tenfold expansion of smart meters predicted in sub-Saharan Africa • Estimated level: Over 5 million by 2030 (GE/Frost & Sullivan 2018)

  11. Top Smart Grid Market Opportunities for U.S. Suppliers • Mexico, Philippines, China, Vietnam, and India are top emerging markets for U.S. firms • Markets with high RE deployment targets rank higher • Transmission and distribution (T&D) equipment: 9 of 10 top markets are emerging economies • Those with high electricity demand growth rank higher 2018 ITA Smart Grid Top Markets Report

  12. Smart Grid Challenges • High capital expenditures, long payback times • Access to finance • Limited country capacityand experience with smart grid technologies • Complexity of unbundled systems • Local content requirements • Electricity price volatility • Policies and regulations • Interoperability of equipment from different companies and countries • National standards • Financial state of utilities • Monitoring and maintenance

  13. USG-Private Sector Partnership: SparkMeter • SparkMeter provides smart metering solutions to mini-grid and central grid operators worldwide • Venture-backed company founded in 2013 • Based in Washington, DC with office in Nairobi • USAID Power Africa $500k grant to support rural smart grid installations • Scaling Off-Grid Energy partnership with Shell Foundation and UK DFID • $5.77 million investment secured since 2015 • Over 43,000 meters installed in 22 countries

  14. USG-Private Sector Partnership: SparkMeter • USAID Development Innovation Ventures (DIV) Program $1.375 million grant in 2018 • Develop and deploy smart meters for central grid • Will enable utilities to control systems, digitize payments, and collect data remotely at low cost. • USTDA $560,000 grant for pilot installation • Over 1,000 smart meters for Port Harcourt Electricity Distribution Company in Nigeria
