  1. Renewable Energy in East Africa – A Case Study for Sustainable Development Declan Arthur Ciarán King Scholar 2012 You Supervisors’ Names Here 29th November 2013

  2. How to wire a plug!

  3. Ciarán King Scholar

  4. Africa, Asia & Central America Poverty alleviation through renewable energy Small scale sustainable renewable energy systems – wind, solar, biomass, hydro Capacity building at a local level

  5. World Energy Stats UN Sustainable Energy for All 2011 One out of every five people on earth (1.3bn) live without access to electricity 2.7bn people do not have access to clean cooking facilities 2 million people die annually from by products of charcoal, coal or animal waste 95% of these people live in Sub Saharan Africa or developing Asia

  6. The Problem

  7. Over 70% living below poverty line

  8. Remote off grid locations

  9. Almost totally reliant on fishing for food and income

  10. No Control over Market Prices

  11. Limited or no access to clean water

  12. Reliant on dirty fuels

  13. The Solution Sustainable Renewable Energy

  14. Workshop

  15. Sustainability Framework Model

  16. Wind/Solar Solution for Got Kachola, Lake Victoria 2 No. Wind Turbines = 2.5 kWh per day @ 5 m/s wind speed 3 No. 120W 12V solar panels with 200ah battery pack Access.energy install turbines using 100% local labour Local maintenance team trained & provided with manual USES: Refrigerate fish House lighting Replace kerosene lamps Pump water for drip irrigation Purify water

  17. Project Outcomes 30% increase in market price of Nile Perch due to ability to store 1,500kgs / 3 days catch 10 – 30% increase in annual income / $325 per year per BMU member Use of rechargeable lights for boats sold by ex kerosene traders Income diversification to crop production Massive health impact

  18. Examples of Research Collaboration with Renewable World An analysis of how ownership models influence the effectiveness of small scale off grid energy sources in communities – Cambridge Judge Business School  SURE-DSS Tool, allows isolated poor communities to make an informed decision about the various energy options available to them – Imperial College, London

  19. Kenya 2013 English Speaking Population will rise to 85m by 2050 Currently 11,000 high voltage power outages per month 4th most congested city in the world Mpesa – an example of advanced use of mobile communications
