This project aims to develop a rural electrification plan, grid extension, and renewable energy options for Laos and Cambodia, supported by the European Commission. The project includes establishing a national database with a GIS interface, training project counterparts to use the GEOSIM model, and presenting the results at an international workshop.

CAP REDEOGIS TOOL FOR RURAL ELECTRIFICATION PLANNING VIENTIANE APRIL 2007
Project supported by the European Commission Project title : • Capacity and Institutional strengthening for • Rural Electrification and Development, • Decentralized Energy Options Aims at : • Developing a rural electrification plan – for one Province in each country • grid extension and renewable energy • Develop a National level electrification and development database with GIS interface • Training project counterparts to use the GEOSIM model
Project supported by the European Commission • Supported by the European Commission COOPENER program, under Intelligent Energy Europe • Co-funded by the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs • Target to complete the project by December 2008, where the results will be presented at an international workshop
2. Innovation Energie Développement (IED) • AREA OF ACTIVITY: Small power systems, RE, Decentralized RE, Energy efficiency & DSM • SERVICE : Cover the whole range of the project cycle
Relevance for Laos and Cambodia • Current rate of population access is under 30% in Cambodia • Laos has the objective of 90% household access by 2020 • Grid extension is underway and all cannot be achieved through public sector investments • Identify areas of relevance for the various options • grid extension • Renewable energy options (micro & mini hydro, biomass) • Diesel • Off grid (stand alone systems – PV and Pico hydro) • with maximum development impact
Main Activities, Outputs & Expected Outcomes At the National level, establish a Multisector Stakeholder Group, Chaired by the Energy Ministries • Collect existing data to establish a multi sector data base with a GIS interface • Engage the group in a discussion on multisector coordination and planning criteria to increase the development impact of rural electrification • How energy inputs fit the Millenium Development Goals for the two countries and Poverty Reduction Strategies Education Data base with GIS available in August 2007 Health Social welfare Local econmy
Energy’s contribution to achieving the Milleneum Development Goals - MDGs • Extreme Poverty and Hunger: to halve by 2015 the world’s population living with less than one dollar per day • Universal primary education by 2015 • Gender equality: equal access of boys and girls to education • Child mortality reduction by 2/3 by 2015 • Maternal mortality reduction by ¾ by 2015 • HIV / AIDS, Malaria and other major deseases • Environmental sustainability : halve people who do not have access to safe drinking water; stop environmental exploitation of natural resources
Provincial level implementation of GEOSIM (1) • In one pilot Province in each country : Khamouane and Kampong Cham or Kampong Speu • Approach • Identify Development Centers in the Provinces based on multisector criteria to assess development potential • Load forecasting - scenarios • Assessment of various production options – grid and off grid (hydro and biomass) • Development of scenarios which will highlight the potential projects for implementation • Formulate the planning objective: • Population or village coverage? Time horizon? • Least cost? Priority on renewables?
Provincial level implementation of GEOSIM(2) • Establish a Provincial level working group by August 07, • including potential private operators and financial intermediaries • Data collection / surveys and analysis: • Socio economic and production potential • August to December 2007 • Run the various planning scenarios: January to August 2008 • April to September 2008 : work on the investment plans with local stakeholders
Training, Capacity Building and transfer • Training sessions on planning, Data Base management and GIS, and the planning tool and approach • Discussion Workshops : results and scenarios • Hands on and continuos training • Install Manifold GIS software : April to August 2007 • The GEOSIM tool : January 2008 • Objective for Project counterparts to run the tool by September 2008 and capable of replicating to other Provinces
Communication and Milestones • A project web site will be developed: http\\: www.Cap-Redeo.com • Newsletter • Methodologies • Reports • Background documents • Mid term meeting in April in Vientiane • Final regional workshop in Phnom Penh in November / December 2008
