Matching Rural Energy Services and Renewable Energy Systems
GEF For Most African Countries • Overall Goal GEF-interventions: -Slower growth in GHG emissions in GEF countries; • Deployment and diffusion of commercially available technologies through investment, technical and institutional capacity building and cooperation, promoting energy access through renewables; • Various Scenarios for GEF 5 allocation period: 4.5; 5.5 and 6.5 billion USD.; - high scenario: Renewable Energy for poor rural communities and sustainable development (sub-Sahara Africa & South Asia); • Technologies: Solar, Wind, Geothermal, Small Hydro Methane from Waste, Biomass Applications for Power and Heat.
