9 Executive Summary Yemen has one of the lowest per capita incomes in the MENA region. However, the population is growing rapidly at an average rate of about 3% per annum with only about 40% of the population having access to electricity. The absence of a reliable and a continuous supply of electricity and low access to electricity in rural areas have been recognized as a severe constraint on the economic growth of Yemen. To meet the growing demand for electricity, the Government of Yemen is planning to develop gas based electricity generation; to utilize renewable energy resources wherever possible as well as to rehabilitate/replace the diesel and fuel oil based inefficient plants as soon as possible. In addition to above, GoY is also considering energy efficiency and Demand-side management (DSM) measures to overcome electricity peak and energy shortages and the financial constraints faced in quickly adding generation capacity to the system. This report gives an institutional structure for the effective implementation of DSM/EE measures in Yemen to meet the above objectives with a three year DSM/EE action plan. Institutional structure Considering the present status of electricity industry structure and the reform act enacted in February 2009, an institutional structure is presented in the report after extensive discussions with policymakers and stakeholders. The proposed structure is a DSM/EE authority under the Ministry of Electricity and Energy with a steering committee of key stakeholders to develop policy and monitor impact of programs, initiated by the proposed authority. However, the proposed authority is expected to be developed in three stages. Initially, it is proposed to establish a DSM/EE Department under the Renewable Energy General Department with only two divisions. Once the Renewable Energy becomes an Authority, DSM/EE Department is expected to be elevated to a sector with the number of divisions increased from two to five. With the unbundling of PEC, DSM/EE sector is expected to become an independent Authority directly under the Ministry of Electricity and Energy. It is to be headed by a Director General; a senior engineering officer, with five divisions under him; business based program division, public policy based program division, S&L program division, awareness and publicity division and CDM investment promotion division. DSM/EE measures proposed A three year DSM/EE action plan has been developed to lay the foundation for a sustainable DSM/EE program and build capacity required for future program implementation. Measures proposed, are based on a brief consumer survey and a few walk-through audits conducted during this study. 9

This will assist PEC in reducing expensive peak generation capacity and system losses. Reduction of subsidy related revenue loss Financial impact from energy subsidies on both GoY and PEC is high. For PEC to be financially viable, it is extremely important to reduce subsidy related revenue loss. DSM/EE measures can contribute to a significant reduction of this revenue loss as indicated below.

13 Proposed programs to kick start the DSM/EE initiatives DSM/EE initiatives to kick start the program, are listed below. These could be identified as essential tasks to lay a firm foundation for the successful implementation of all future DSM/EE tasks in Yemen.

PEC will be in a position to ensure financial viability by reducing subsidy related revenue loss and deferring or avoiding capacity expansion investments. Consumers in Yemen will also gain significant savings of energy costs through better management and conservation of energy utilized. In general, DSM/EE programs are economically beneficial to Yemen as a whole, as it reduces often costly captive and hired generation, avoids or reduces load shedding and its associated economic costs and has numerous environmental benefits associated with reduced electricity generation. DSM/EE costs less than what it would cost to add generation capacity and strengthen the network to maintain an uninterrupted supply of electricity to all. Therefore, it is strongly recommended for GoY to implement measures listed in the report in stages with donor assistance years years 13

14 1. Introduction Yemen has one of the lowest per capita incomes in the Middle East and in the North African region (MENA) which is about $420. However, the population is growing rapidly at an average rate of about 3% per annum with a GDP growth rate of 3.3 %, recorded in Yemen discovered oil and gas in late 1980s and since then, oil exports have been the main source of Government revenue. However, the country also imports significant quantities of refined products such as diesel at international prices. The oil reserves are expected to reach near depletion by Yemen is also one of the least electrified countries in the MENA region with only about 40% of the population having access to electricity. The absence of a reliable and a continuous supply of electricity and low access to electricity in rural areas have been recognized as a severe constraint on the economic growth of Yemen. To meet the growing demand for electricity under above conditions, GoY is planning to develop gas based electricity generation; to utilize renewable energy resources wherever possible as well as to rehabilitate/replace the diesel and fuel oil based inefficient plants as soon as possible. In addition to above and the need to overcome peak and energy shortages faced by the electricity sector and the financial constraints faced in adding short-term generation capacity, Energy Efficiency and Demand-side Management (DSM) measures are being considered. The main objective of this assignment is to create suitable institutional arrangements within the Ministry of Electricity and Energy (MOE&E) and the Public Electricity Corporation (PEC) to support energy efficiency measures by consumers which includes an assessment of energy efficiency and demand side management opportunities, appliance labeling programs, energy auditor training and certification, building codes and demonstration projects. The study is structured as follows: Section 2 presents a brief overview of the electricity sector in Yemen Section 3 presents the rationale for DSM/EE in Yemen Section 4 presents the three year DSM/EE action plan Section 5 gives the proposed institutional structure for successful and sustainable DSM/EE implementation in Yemen Section 6 provides links to other ongoing and planned energy sector programs Section 7 gives measures to sustain DSM/EE initiatives Section 8 provides a summary of pilot projects recommended Section 9 gives a roadmap for DSM/EE initiative development and immediate projects and estimated costs 14

15 2. Electricity Sector in Yemen Yemen is the least electrified country in the MENA region with only about 40% of the population having access to electricity. In rural areas, access levels are much lower at about 20% of the rural population. The energy intensity of the economy remains high compared to other countries in the region. As compared to a regional average of 0.18 toe/1000 US$ (in 2005 $), Yemen has an energy intensity of 0.25 toe/1000 US$ which puts Yemen among the MENA regions more energy intensive countries (IEA, 2006). Table 4: Energy intensity in MENA, by country (Toe/ 000US$ 2005PPP) Region / country GDP ( billions of Total energy consumption Energy intensity 2005 US$, PPP) (ktoe, 2005) (toe/ 000US$2005PPP) MENA 2, , Algeria , Bahrain , Egypt , Islamic Rep. of Iran , Iraq , Jordan , Kuwait , Lebanon , Libya , Morocco , Oman , Qatar , Saudi Arabia , Syria , Tunisia , United Arab Emirates , Yemen , Source: International Energy Agency (IEA) Database and World Bank Global Development Indicators (GDI) database. The absence of a reliable and uninterrupted electricity supply and low access to electricity in rural areas has been recognized as a severe constraint on economic growth and to the achievement of the Government of Yemen s (GoY s) poverty alleviation objectives. In this context, GoY has started developing a comprehensive rural electrification strategy with support from the World Bank, Islamic Bank and AFD to help develop and implement a sustainable rural electrification program. GoY is also committed to developing renewable energy options particularly in remote areas to promote rural development Total available power generation capacity is currently about 852 megawatts (MW). GoY is gradually shifting towards gas-based power generation and has dedicated 5.2 tcf (trillion cubic feet) of natural gas for power generation. Implementation of the first gas-based power plant (341 MW) at Marib is in progress. Financing for the second phase of the Marib Power Plant (400 MW) has been secured and the bidding process has been initiated. Private-sector financing for 15

16 developing new generating capacity has so far not materialized, but the government has started a fresh initiative to develop the first private-sector power plants. Figure 5: Demand and energy consumption predictions Electricity Growth GWh MW 0 GWh MW Source: PEC demand and energy predictions On the institutional front, GoY has initiated a sector reform process which includes corporatization/commercialization of Public Electricity Corporation (PEC), setting up an appropriate regulatory mechanism, a Rural Electrification Authority and a pilot Rural Electric Service Provider. Based on its least cost investment program, GoY has a power sector investment plan of about US$1.2 billion 3 for the period FY08-10, which implies an average spending of about US$400 million for each of the next three years. In terms of financing, GoY does not have adequate external resources to rely on for its stated future needs and will have to provide most of the financing from its domestic resources which will not be feasible. Under these circumstances, effective utilization of available generation and effective demand management are critical. A 70% to 100% increase in the retail prices of petroleum products in 2005 led to civil unrest. Since the sharp rise in crude oil prices, petroleum consumption subsidies are now estimated to amount to US$3 billion in 2008, or about 11 percent of GDP 3. The ratio of these untargeted subsidies to other poverty reduction programs is ten to one in annual budget. Removing these 16

17 subsidies without adequate social protection, cost-cutting and energy efficiency measures would increase poverty in Yemen. Fuel switching from oil to gas in the power sector will play a very important role in subsidy reduction. A large part of electricity is consumed inefficiently by few sectors such as the household sector and the Government installations, which can be reduced by 30-40% from cost effective DSM/EE measures. However, no action has been so far taken to implement measures to obtain these benefits. Figure 6: Number of consumers by sector Large industry, 1,389, 0% Small Industry, 19,677, 1% Small Commercial, 156,743, 12% Number of Consumers Hotels, 1,869, 0% Govt, 12,474, 1% Artificial & Cement Industry, 4, 0% Water corporation, 509, 0% Others, 5,831, 0% Urban Mosques, 10,450, 1% Rural houses, 53,022, 4% Rural Mosques, 1,002, 0% Urban houses, 1,075,999, 81% Source: PEC commercial data 2007 Closer to 80% of the consumers are urban households with small commercial consumers and rural households becoming the next two large categories. These three categories are ideal candidates for large DSM programs. 3 Source: World Bank 17

Small commercial sector and Government installations consume 11% and 9 % of electricity supplied by PEC. However, it is estimated that as much as 30% total electricity consumed in the country comes from self generation, mainly due the high cost of electricity to bulk consumers, poor power quality and regular power interruptions. Therefore, rural households, small commercial establishments and government installations become prime candidates for DSM/EE initiatives with huge saving potentials. In the above context of high energy intensity compared to the regional consumption, average and peak demand and energy shortages with the potential for saving energy ranging from 20-30% 4, an institutional framework for energy efficiency and Demand-side Management (DSM) has become necessary to implement and sustain measures to mitigate impact of electricity shortages. 4 Figures based on case studies 18

19 3. Rationale for DSM/EE in Yemen Demand-Side Management and Energy Efficiency programs bring several short and long-term benefits to all concerned. Utilities are in a position to reduce its financial commitments as a result of reduced capacity and energy requirements by either deferring or avoiding capacity expansion investments. Consumers also gain a significant saving of energy costs through better management and conservation of energy utilized. DSM/EE programs are economically beneficial to Yemen, a country as a whole, as it can reduce financial loss to both GoY and PEC from subsidized fuel prices and electricity tariffs, costly captive and hired generation, avoid or reduce load shedding and its associated economic costs. It has also numerous environmental benefits associated with reduced electricity generation with DSM/EE costs less than what it would cost to add generation capacity and strengthen network to maintain an uninterrupted supply of electricity to all. In the above sector context, rationale for DSM/EE in Yemen can be listed as follows: High energy intensity levels compared to regional and global standards mean that steps could be taken to improve this situation. Peak and energy shortages faced by the electricity sector. Financial impact on both GoY and PEC from energy subsidies. Financial constraints faced in quickly adding generation capacity has opened-up investment space for energy efficiency and Demand-side management (DSM) measures. Government is seriously considering energy subsidy reforms in view of the increasing fiscal stress. Energy efficiency measures and social protection mechanisms will need to be integrated as part of this effort to mitigate the impacts of higher prices. Increasing energy costs to consumers. 19

21 3.1 Stakeholder views During the mission, the consultants met with key stakeholders to discuss issues related to the electricity sector, barriers for DSM/EE, ways to address these barriers and the institutional requirements for the effective implementation DSM/EE measures in Yemen. List of stakeholder meetings is given in annex 1. Key stakeholders included the Ministry of Electricity and Energy; Ministry of Planning; Ministry of Finance; Ministry of Industry; Ministry of Trade; Ministry of Water Resources; Public Utility Corporation; Hotel association; Three large electricity consumers; end-use appliance/equipment suppliers; major donors such as UNDP, GTZ and the World Bank; Standards Institution; and the University of Sana a. General views expressed by the stakeholders: Poor awareness of benefits from DSM/EE initiatives. Poor utility consumer relationships affecting sector development. Unscheduled electricity supply interruptions and poor power quality. Lack of utility initiatives to promote DSM/EE. Lack of Government policy and institutional structure for the implementation of effective and sustainable DSM/EE initiatives. Lack of financial incentives for DSM/EE programs. Unrealistic tariffs. Use of poor quality appliances mostly based on initial costs. Lack of codes and standards to guide end-users. Lack of incentives to reduce consumption in government installations. 3.2 Identified barriers Based on the detailed discussions with stakeholders, following were identified as barriers for introduction of DSM/EE programs in Yemen: Poor awareness of DSM/EE benefits among consumers. Lack of utility participation in the promotion of DSM/EE initiatives. Lack of Government policy and supporting institutional framework. No financial incentives and innovative financing for DSM/EE initiatives. Lack of end-use consumption data with PEC. Lack of DSM/EE friendly tariffs. Energy Efficiency Building Code not practiced. Appliance energy efficiency standard setting and labeling not practiced. Poor energy auditing skills and lack of equipment. Unaware of innovative concepts for EE project implementation and financing. CDM benefits and related financing not considered. Poor supply quality. Fixed budget for Govt. installation with lack of incentives reduce consumption. 21

22 Details of meetings with stakeholders are given in annex Benefits from DSM/EE Broadly, the following can be identified as benefits from DSM/EE initiatives to Yemen; Lower electricity bills to consumers. Reduced power deficits and improved power quality. Improved financial position of PEC due to reduced investment requirements and lower losses. Additional income from CDM initiatives. Increased market for Energy Efficient products. Improved productivity and quality of products from Industry. 3.4 Ways to overcome barriers for DSM/EE The following actions can be listed as ways to overcome above barriers and sustain DSM/EE initiatives: Establishment of an institutional structure to initiate effective and sustainable DSM/EE programs. Define Govt. Policy with a decree. Improve awareness of utility staff, consumers, appliance vendors, contractors, project financiers, etc Conduct a load research of the sector to plan and implement DSM measures. Review and revise tariffs to promote DSM/EE measures. Introduce innovative EE project implementation and financing mechanisms such as the ESCO concept. Design and implement incentives for DSM project funding. Introduce appliance standards and labeling, initially based on international and acceptable standards. Develop appliance testing facilities within the country. Develop an energy efficiency building code to incorporate major end-uses in large buildings. Train utility staff and end-users in energy auditing and introduce an energy auditor certification mechanism. Introduce better and effective metering. 22

23 4. Three Year DSM/EE Action Plan Major obstacle faced by the team of consultants in identifying DSM measures was lack of end-use data. However, the team conducted a brief survey of households to identify common end-uses and potential for savings in this sector. 4.1 Summary of household survey Table 5: Survey results END-USE/SURVEY Average Incandescent bulbs (100W) CFL lighting W LFT Electric water heaters Refrigerators Iron TV Washing machine Estimated units Key findings: 1) Most had incandescent lamps of 100 watts. Higher wattages are used to overcome supply problems such as voltage sags. 2) Consumers who use CFLs were not aware of the need to purchase quality lamps to benefit fully from savings. Many complained of premature fusing of CFLs, commonly available in the market. 3) Linear fluorescent lamps are also used but mostly with inefficient magnetic ballast. At certain locations 40W to 36W technology transfer has still not happened, mostly because of poor awareness. 4) Almost all had electric water heaters. Solar water heaters are not used mainly due to high initial investment. Improvements for existing electric water heaters are also possible with additional insulation and improved piping. 5) Refrigerator purchases are mainly based on initial costs. Most fell below acceptable efficiency levels. 6) Televisions are commonly used. 7) Average consumption per household was high.. 23

24 4.2 Summary of walk-through audits Three walk-through audits were also conducted to briefly identify the potential for saving in large consumer categories. Walk-through audit reports are given in annex 3. Table 6: Walk-through audit findings INSTALLATION/SAVING POTENTIAL Est. Saving Potential Ministry of Electricity and Energy and Public Electricity Corporation building 30% Movenpick Hotel 28% Yemen Textile Co. Ltd 31% Key findings: 1) Movenpick had the best energy management program with monthly monitoring of energy consumption against occupancy and implementation of cost effective EE measures such as lighting improvements. However, further improvements (25-30%) are possible. 2) No EE measures were installed at the ministry and the textile company. 3) All three installations recorded a saving potential of 30% from cost effective EE measures. 4) Major EE measures include improvements to lighting, air conditioning, better housekeeping and management. 5) Efficient lighting and controls can contribute to huge savings in Govt. buildings. 6) Both Movenpick Hotel and Yemen Textile Company expressed interest in investing in EE measures but needed energy auditing assistance. 7) Funds for EE project implementation was not identified as a major barrier. 8) Large private sector organizations use captive generation because of high tariff and poor power quality. 4.3 DSM actions considered Based on above and available billing data with PEC, the following DSM load profile objectives are considered for the electricity sector in Yemen. 1) Peak clipping 2) Strategic conservation 3) Load shifting Details given in annex 4. 24

25 4.4 DSM/EE measures identified for sectors To meet above load profile objectives, the following DSM measures were identified for sector based on surveys and billing data.

Results are summarized below: Results of evaluation model are given in annex CFL program for households and commercial establishments Household sector is the largest category with over 1.1 million consumers consuming 58% of the electricity sold. Therefore, measures directed towards this sector and small commercial establishments will have a substantial impact on the national grid. The survey done for the domestic sector indicates that a considerable number of incandescent lamps are used for long hours. Commonly used wattage is 100W, used to overcome voltage drop in the system. The potential for incandescent replacement is estimated to be 2.5 million. 25

An interest free loan scheme operated from a revolving fund is proposed. 26

27 Funding mechanism: 1) PEC is expected to operate a loan scheme with consumers paying lamp cost in fixed monthly installments with the electricity bill. Vendors supplying quality lamps (recommended specifications are given in annex 6) are expected to participate in the program in a competitive environment. Revolving loan interest rate is assumed to be 12% and the loan repayment period is one year. 2) Micro financing mechanisms presently used for rural electrification programs in Yemen are also recommended.

However, the success of the programs depend on the quality of lamps used the project. Hence, it is strongly recommended to follow standards specified in this report. 27

28 4.5.2 Linear fluorescent lamp program for mosques, government installations and commercial sector A substantial number of 40W fluorescent fittings are presently used in the government installations, mosques and commercial establishments with poor quality magnetic ballast. Most fittings are not properly placed with individual controls. Rectification of above is considered in the following cost/benefit with 36W lamps and electronic ballasts replacing 40W lamps and poor quality magnetic ballasts. Government sector has over 12,000 consumers (Source: PEC commercial data) and it is estimated that 50% of consumers will have over 30 fluorescent fittings, which can be replaced.

Therefore, Energy efficiency measures for this sector will be easy to manage with substantial savings. The present tariff does not have a power factor penalty charge. Hence, consumers will have no incentive to invest in power factor correction. However, since the measure is beneficial to PEC, it is recommended for PEC to invest in PF correction at consumer end in order to reduce reactive power requirements and network losses. Based on the results of the walkthrough audit, a 40 MVA reduction from PF correction during the project is considered with a 16 GWh reduction in network losses.

35 5. Proposed DSM/EE Institutional Structure 5.1 Current sector structure Presently, the Public Electricity Corporation is in charge of a large part of the generation, entire transmission network and most urban distribution of electricity in Yemen. A part of the generation comes from Independent Power Producers and some parts of rural distribution are handled by rural distribution entities. The Public Electricity Corporation comes directly under the Ministry of Electricity and Energy. Figure 12: Present electricity structure Minister Managing Director Region A Region B Diesel Stations Steam Stations DGM generation & transmission DGM finance & Administration DGM distribution & inspection 5.2 Changes anticipated On the institutional front, GoY has been studying various options for reforming the electricity sector, and an electricity law has been enacted by the parliament. In parallel, GoY is also addressing other issues related to sector reforms such as restructuring and corporatization/commercialization of Public Electricity Corporation (PEC), setting up an appropriate regulatory mechanism, a Rural Electrification Authority and a pilot Rural Electric Service Provider at Ibb which are expected to be completed in three years. Under the proposed corporatization/commercialization of the Public Electricity Corporation, key functions of the Corporation may get separated out into different entities and later become companies. A generation company, a transmission company and a distribution company will most probably be established with a rural electrification entity and another to handle support services to the Corporation. 35

36 5.3 Proposed DSM/EE structure Considering the recent industry developments, the proposed corporatization and/or commercialization of the Public Electricity Corporation and the need to introduce DSM/EE concepts immediately, the following DSM/EE institutional structures are proposed for staged implementation. The proposed institutional structures have been developed in close consultation with key policymakers and stakeholders and will be presented at a national seminar scheduled for April Proposed institutional arrangement for stage 1 (immediate) A Renewable Energy General Department has been established by the Ministry of Electricity and Energy to promote renewable energy development in Yemen. It is proposed to house the DSM/EE activities also under the Renewable Energy General Department and rename the department as Renewable Energy and DSM/EE General Department. Initial activities of the DSM/EE Department will be limited to two main divisions with awareness and S&L programs coming under the public policy based division in addition to its core functions; public policy based program design and implementation. The business based division is expected to handle CDM related investments in addition to business based activities.

Activities of these units are discussed in detail later in the report Proposed institutional structure for stage 3 With the unbundling of PEC, it is proposed to convert the DSM/EE sector of the Renewable Energy & DSM/EE authority to an independent DSM/EE authority under MEE since the reform act enacted in February 2009, has provision (article 56) only for the establishment of commercial viable entities. 37

38 DSM/EE authority will require financial assistance to implement public policy based program in the national interest.

A steering committee of these key stakeholders is expected to be established later to assist the DSM/EE authority when established, in drafting policy, monitoring of program planning, implementation and impact evaluation. The proposed steering committee will include the following stakeholders: 1) Ministry of Electricity and Energy Chair 2) Public Electricity Corporation 3) Ministry of Finance 4) Ministry of Planning 5) Ministry of Water and Environment 6) Ministry of Industry and Trade 7) Standards Authority 38

39 8) Ministry of Oil and Mineral Resources 9) Ministry of Higher Education 10) Ministry of Public Works 11) Large consumer associations 12) Vendor associations if listed The under secretary to the Ministry of Electricity and Energy is expected to function as the Chairman of the steering committee with the head of DSM/EE authority as the secretary. The steering committee will function similar to a Board of Director of a company and will be mainly involved in the policy making process in addition to monitor impact of program implemented. 5.5 High commission on energy A high commission on Energy has been established to look after the energy sector developments in Yemen. Because of the importance of DSM/EE initiatives for Yemen, it is proposed to authorize the High Commission of Energy to oversee the affairs of the proposed DSM/EE authority and assist in the policy adoption. 5.6 Divisions within DSM authority Broadly, five divisions are proposed for the effective implementation of planned DSM/EE initiatives: 1) Public policy based program division 2) Business based program division 3) Program awareness and publicity division 4) Appliance standard and labeling division 5) CDM managing division 5.7 Tasks under divisions: Public policy based program division This division is expected to be responsible for all public policy based DSM/EE program design. It will promote activities to achieve public policy objectives, such as: Increase overall energy system efficiency Promote economic development Reduce environmental damage Address social objectives 39

40 Following activities are proposed as Public Policy-Based program delivery mechanisms: Information and Demonstration - Seek to educate consumers on electricity use and how to lower electricity bills through the use of efficient appliances and other products (energy audits, displays of efficient technologies, brochures, etc.) Product Labelling Identify and implement a product s energy efficiency rating and expected annual energy cost Codes and Standards such as building codes Financial Incentives - To increase the purchase of energy efficient equipment by providing tax benefits, low interest loans, accelerated depreciation, etc., listed later in the report. Programs designed by the DSM/EE authority could be implemented through the following organizations which can be identified as Public-policy-based Mechanism Implementing Organisations: Government Agencies Public Utility Corporation NGOs Community Groups & Industry Associations Public Policy-Based Mechanisms Funding Sources; An energy tax or a levy in the form of an additional charge on utility bills to fund DSM/EE initiatives (e.g.. x Riyal/kWh) A part of general tax revenues can be used to fund CDM income Business based program division The Business based program division is expected to promote energy businesses to achieve commercial corporate objectives by improving the profitability of existing businesses, improve market positioning, retain customers and increase profitability from new business areas Energy Efficiency as a Business Opportunity can be practised by: Public Utility Corporation - EE options will be cost-effective relative to generation, transmission and distribution system upgrades or expansions; improve power factor and distribution system efficiency; enhance customer relations Equipment manufacturers and suppliers Energy Service Companies (ESCOs) Financial institutions However, business activity to implement DSM/EE options will have to be facilitated by: Correct pricing signals Removal of disincentives to PEC DSM activities 40

Energy Auditing and ESCO concept development details: Energy audit training requirements Annex 7 Energy audit questionnaire Annex 8 Energy auditing equipment list Annex 9 ESCO project implementing concepts Annex 10 ESCO financing mechanisms Annex 11 A typical ESCO contract Annex 12 However, saving guarantees and sharing of savings can lead disputes and project failures. Therefore, it is important to have a clear monitoring and verification mechanism in place prior to the commencement of ESCO activities. An interim stage; employing a consultant with an EE contractor/equipment vendor, is recommended to overcome some of the issues discussed above. 41

42 Funding Sources for Business-based EE programs/mechanisms Common funding sources for business-based EE programs/mechanism that can be applied to Yemen are listed below. PEC may invest own funds in developing, implementing and operating initiatives on a commercial basis Consumers using their own funds Loans and other financing arrangements provided by banks on normal commercial terms Co-funding by government entities, designed to initiate commercially viable DSM and energy efficiency activities Donor agencies may provide funds to contribute to global environmental or developmental goals Potential for Saving From the initial walk-through audits conducted by the consultants of three large consumer categories, the potential saving is estimated to be over 30% from cost effective measures. Further, PEC will benefit from purchase of power from large consumers with captive generation more than required for their own use. Captive generation would cost much less than the cost of power from plants hired by PEC Awareness and publicity division This unit will be responsible for all DSM/EE related awareness development and publicity programs. Tasks will include Programs to introduce the general concept Individual program publicity before and during implementation. Specific programs identified: a. Standards and labeling of end-use appliances b. Business-based EE activity development - ESCO concept c. Energy Efficiency lighting program Guidelines for awareness program design are given in annex Appliance standard & labeling division This unit will be responsible for the designing of all appliance standard & labeling programs in Yemen and it is expected to work closely with the Ministry of Trade and the Standard Setting Institution; Ministry of finance and customs department; consumer and vendor associations with the following objectives and tasks; 42

43 Transform the market to Energy Efficient appliance. Educate customers. Provide incentive for market transformations. Appliance selected: Lamps/control-gear, refrigerators, motors & pumps, air conditioners. Test facility requirements analyzed It will also function closely with the standard setting department to develop labels and promote the concept for effective implementation of an S&L program in Yemen. A brief on the S&L concept is given in annex 14 with CFL standards for a S&L program in annex CDM managing unit Many programs discussed in the three year DSM action plan can benefit from CDM investments. Therefore, a CDM managing unit is proposed to promote CDM investments for DSM/EE activities and assist investors in the coordination of pilot studies and program implementation. It will also guide investors through the CDM process currently in place in Yemen.

These include the proposed CFL program with an interest free loan, power factor correction initiative, etc. This DSM unit can also undertake business based programs such an ESCO initiative for the Government buildings. 44

45 Close coordination of activities between DSM/EE Department/Sector/Authority and DSM unit of PEC is essential. The authority is also expected to identify skill levels required for the DSM unit to implement projects and build capacity of the unit Budgetary requirements for DSM/EE Department/Authority A four year recurrent expenditure budget for DSM/EE Department/Authority is given below. However, this does not include specific task related expenditure which has to be met from task related funding sources. Table 20: Four year recurrent expenditure budget Year Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 Status Department Department Sector Authority Annual Budget US $ Funding sources 57,500 65, , ,000 1) Government contributions 2) Donor assistance 3) CDM benefits 4) Funds generated from business based programs 1) Energy levy or tax 2) CDM investment 3) Annual contributions from utilities 4) Funds generated from business based programs 5.11 Strategic and operational objectives The strategic and operational objectives of the DSM/EE authority should be to assist PEC in providing an affordable, reliable, environmentally friendly and sustainable electricity service by encouraging efficient use of energy among all electricity consumers. Strategic objectives: Assist consumers to reduce energy costs Develop a competent and motivated workforce Provide value-added services to customers Forge strategic alliances with stakeholders Assist PEC in developing an integrated resource plan Promote the use of energy efficient equipment and appliances Assist the Government and PEC in meeting the national and global environmental objectives Operational objectives: Design and develop DSM and EE initiatives Develop and implement energy efficiency building codes Develop and maintain a database of load and market research data and energy efficient technologies 45

46 Develop DSM/EE monitoring and evaluation protocols Assist PEC in improving the quality and reliability of electricity supply Introduce measures to reduce distribution losses Provide incentives and other assistance to customers in implementing DSM/EE measures Assist and advise PEC in developing innovative tariffs Promote DSM/EE through workshops, seminars, newsletters, websites, etc. Key Tasks to meet strategic and operational objectives Key tasks to meet strategic and operational objectives will fall into two categories; Shortterm and Long-term. Short-term tasks Develop awareness campaigns for consumers in different sectors Provide energy auditing services to large consumers and PEC Spearhead a load research program Develop priority DSM measures listed in the DSM action plan Introduce the ESCO concept Set-up a technology database by gathering information on energy-efficient equipment, appliances and processes presently available in the country and technology that can be introduced from other countries Study the feasibility of CDM investments for CFL programs Study the feasibility of CDM investments for SWH programs Long-term tasks Develop all cost effective measures listed in the action plan Expand load research and further refine DSM options Develop a comprehensive technology databank Develop of S&L programs for lamps, refrigerators, A/C, and other important appliances Provide training in important fields such as energy auditing Assist private sector in the establishment of ESCO companies Liaison with equipment/appliance vendors to encourage them to supply energy efficient equipment and appliances and contribute to market transformation Promote CDM investments to long term DSM/EE initiatives 5.12 Linkages with key stakeholders The proposed linkages between the DSM/EE authority and other key stakeholders are shown below. These linkages are necessary to facilitate information exchange and make DSM and energy efficiency a mainstream activity and part of the national agenda. A buy-in from all stakeholders is required to support the policy interventions and changes that may be necessary to promote DSM and EE. Thus, the linkages proposed below should not be viewed 46

47 as an exhaustive list, and more linkages may need to be forged as the DSM programs progress. Figure 19: Linkages with key stakeholders Ministry of Public Works Public Utility Corporation Financial institutions NGOs Standards Authority DSM/EE authority Donors Consumer Associations Vendors/Cont ractors/consul tants Ministry of Industry and Trade Universities Industry Associations 5.13 Linkages with other institutions In addition to the linkages within Yemen, it is also recommended that the DSM/EE authority forge formal or informal links with several international institutions and agencies that are active in the energy efficiency field. The proposed international linkages are listed below: Membership of professional societies Association of Energy Engineers (AEE) Association of Energy Services Professionals (AESP) International Association of Energy Economics (IAEE) Energy Efficient Buildings Association (EEBA) European Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ECEEE) Other linkages: Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) American Council for and Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE) Alliance to Save Energy (ASE) American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) World Energy Efficiency Organization (WEEA) 47

48 Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory Lightsearch Global Efficiency Institute Building Codes Assistance Project EPA Energy Star Program CLASP Efficient Lighting Initiative Staffing and TORs of key personnel The staffing of the DSM/EE authority is critical. All staff must be permanent so as to develop an effective working relationship with each other and to master new skill sets. Technical expertise is important in selecting staff and must be encouraged. However, teamwork and dedication to achieving the goals of the DSM/EE authority is more important than all other requirements. It is not the number of staff that will determine the success or failure of the DSM/EE authority, but rather the effective establishment of goals and the coordination of efforts among staff. It is also important to have some overlap of functions so that no function is dependant purely on an individual. A summary of terms of reference of the various proposed DSM/EE authority staff positions are provided below with details in Annex 15. Table 21: Terms of references for key staff No Position Qualification Brief tasks & responsibilities 1 Director Senior engineering & Responsible for administration of the General/Director managerial DSM/EE authority and all DSM/EE 2 Manger business based DSM/EE division 3 Manager public policy based DSM/EE division 4 Manager S&L program division 5 Manager program marketing 6 Manager CDM program managing division Senior or midlevel Engineering Junior Engineering Junior Engineering Senior marketing Junior Engineering with CDM knowledge implemented in Yemen Design and promote the implementation of all business-based DSM/EE programs Design and coordinate implementation of all public policy based DSM/EE programs including load research program Design and coordinate S&L program implementation with relevant Govt. agencies and equipment/appliance vendors Responsible to design and implementation of all DSM/EE awareness programs Responsible for promoting CDM benefits for DSM/EE initiatives and assist investors in implementing such programs 48

49 5.15 Capacity building requirements In order for the DSM/EE authority function effectively, a series of capacity building tasks have been identified: 1) DSM program design, implementation and impact evaluation 2) Energy Auditing 3) EE project financing 4) Monitoring and verification of saving from EE projects 5) Common EE technology applications 6) Awareness and publicity mechanisms 7) Best practices and success stories 8) CDM investments and mechanisms 49

50 6. Links to Other Ongoing and Planned Programs 6.1 Renewable energy program Strategies for use of renewable energy to meet off grid energy needs has been developed and implemented under a pilot phase, mainly to test proposed mechanisms including project financing. Some of these implementing mechanisms can be used for DSM/EE initiatives. 6.2 Tariff review study It is strongly recommended to review the present tariff structure and revise same to include some of the DSM friendly measures. Proposed tariff components under stage 1 revision: 1) Reclassification of consumer categories 2) Introduction of a maximum demand charge for all large consumers 3) Introduction of time of use tariff (TOU) for large industry and hotels 4) Revision of block system of tariff 5) Interruptible tariffs for large industry and hotel 6.3 Energy efficiency building code It is proposed to develop an Energy Efficiency Building Code for Yemen to reduce operating costs of new constructions by 30-35% 5 when compared with a basic construction. However, no action has been taken to develop a code yet. It is strongly recommended to initiate a program to develop a code for commercial buildings and Government instillations. Key areas to be considered for a building code for Yemen: 1) Building envelope 2) HVAC 3) Lighting 4) Electrical network, motors and pumps 5) Water supply and heating 6.4 Proposed GEF initiative on EE improvements A GEF funded 4 year EE initiative is planned for Yemen. It is proposed to conduct the following under this initiative in order to support GEF initiative when implemented. 1) Establishment of an institutional structure 2) Preparation of a three year DSM/EE action plan 3) Initial awareness 4) Energy Audit training 5) Load research 6) ESCO concept development Pilot 5 Savings based on codes implemented in other countries 50

51 With these, GEF initiative will be able to concentrate on following key implementation tasks: 1) Detailed audits of government buildings and large consumers 2) S&L program implementation including to set up of testing facilities in Yemen 3) Introduce integrated resource planning process after unbundling 4) Further strengthening of DSM/EE authority activities 5) Establish a funding mechanism for EE projects 6.5 ESCWA initiative Another EE initiative is planned by ESCWA for Yemen.

52 7. Measures to Sustain DSM/EE Initiative 7.1 Development of a structured data bank for the sector PEC lacks structured data for proper planning of all sector activities including DSM initiatives. Therefore, it is proposed to establish a data management unit under a senior data manager at MEE to manage all available sector data of the sector 7.2 Load research of the power sector PEC does not have end-use consumption data of any category. Therefore, it is strongly recommended to conduct a load research program to identify consumer consumption patterns in order to use same for generation, transmission, distribution and DSM program planning. Results of a typical load research program are given in annex 16. Figure 20: Load research flow chart - sample metering and market surveys System Load Profiles Substation, Generation Data Sector Load Profiles Segment Load Profiles B illing/sales Records μ x 2 σ 2 x Survey Data End-use Load Profiles M etered Data End-use Data 52

53 7.3 Management Information System (MIS) As DSM/EE authority evolves and expands its activities, it will be essential to establish a Management Information System to track various activities and timelines and keep tabs on costs with program impacts. A management information system is proposed for this purpose. 7.4 DSM friendly tariffs For DSM/EE programs to succeed, it is essential to provide correct price signals to encourage consumers. With this in mind, it is recommended to reclassify present consumer categories, introduce demand charge and a TOU tariff immediately with major changes to the present tariff structure. 7.5 Financial incentives Innovative financing and incentives are required for successful DSM/EE program implementation: Table 23: Suggested EE project financing mechanism in Yemen Govt. Incentives Financing Mechanisms Others Import duty waivers Higher depreciation Subsidies through the social development fund Commercial funds Micro financing Installment basis payments Donor funds - soft loans and revolving funds CDM investments Shared savings Loan Guarantee Mechanisms (Annex 17) 7.6 Improved metering It is proposed to improve metering to reduce non technical losses and improve revenue collection. Most large consumers are fitted with data logging type meters with remote reading facilities but the installed features not utilized by PEC. Prepaid metering can also be used for household to improve the revenue collection of PEC. Suggested features are included in annex Energy auditor certification process An energy auditor certification process should be developed and added to the portfolio of the DSM/EE authority to strengthen energy auditing activities under the business based EE initiatives. The certification is one that identifies professionals as having the required knowledge and experience needed to succeed in the growing field of energy auditing. 53

54 Objectives: 1. To raise the professional standards of those engaged in energy auditing. 2. To improve the practice of energy auditors by encouraging energy auditing in a continuing education program of professional development. 3. To identify persons with acceptable knowledge of the principles and practices of energy auditing through completing an examination and fulfilling prescribed standards of performance and conduct. 4. To award special recognition to those energy auditing professionals who have demonstrated a high level of competence and ethical fitness in energy auditing. Eligibility: To be developed in consultation with key stakeholders during the program design stage and after monitoring of performance of auditor after training. However, the following is proposed: 1. A candidate must have a degree in engineering. In addition, the applicant must have at least two years of experience in energy auditing, energy management, facility management, or experience related to energy management. or 2. Ten years of experience in energy auditing, energy management, facility management, or experience related to energy management. Examination: To be a Certified Energy Auditor, a candidate must sit an examination after attending a training session on fundamentals of Energy Auditing. The examination will be on Energy Auditing methodology; Energy Audit instruments; Auditing tools; Economic analysis; HVAC; Lighting; Electrical system; Boilers and steam distribution system and Building envelope. 7.8 Integrated resource planning of the sector Integrated Resource Planning (IRP) is presently not practiced in Yemen. IRP is a set of regulatory policies and utility practices used to promote energy resources that are in the best economic and environmental interests of society. In general, IRP requires periodical evaluation of all types of electric resources, including utility programs to reduce energy consumption, as well as conventional power plants and renewable resources. It also requires considering the many different impacts that these energy resources will have on utilities, their customers, and the society in general, in the long run. Presently the generation planning task is performed by the generation planning unit of PEC and it should look at all options available to meet generation requirements including DSM options. Therefore, the proposed DSM/EE department is expected work closely with generation planning unit of PEC in developing an integrated resource plan for Yemen. After the sector is unbundled and regulatory mechanism established, the DSM/EE authority is expected to function closely with the regulatory commission and the transmission company in developing an integrated resource plan. 54

55 8. Proposed DSM/EE Pilot Projects Proposed DSM/EE pilot projects are listed below. Programs delivery mechanisms have not been fully developed and it has to be done in consultation with the listed participants.

60 9.2 Measures to kick start DSM/EE initiatives Few measures are also proposed to kick start DSM/EE initiatives in Yemen. Technical assistance will be required to implement measures listed below. Estimated costs of technical assistance are also listed in table 26. Table 26: Programs to kick start DSM/EE initiatives in Yemen Immediate measures to kick start DSM/EE initiatives in Yemen No. Measures Description Consultants' fee US$ Local costs US$ Equipment costs US$ Recommended start date 1 Awareness Sector brochures + media advertising Household 7,500 0 May - 09 Commercial & Govt. 5, * 0 Industrial 5, Energy Audit Training 3 Detailed audits 4 Guide on Energy Auditing 5 Load research Classroom + practical - Modules Technical Financing Bankable report preparation Implementation 26,160 5,000 Monitoring and verification Conduct detailed audits: Govt installation (1) 5,000 1,000 Hotels (1) 5,000 1,000 Industry (2) 7,500 2,000 Equipment will be brought from training purposes by the consultants Equipment will be brought from training purposes by the consultants May 09 Jun/Jul - 09 Energy Auditing manual for Yemen 15,000 0 Aug/Sep - 09 City of Sana's Data logging ** Market survey 25,000 7,500 0 Develop load curves 0 0 Oct 09 6 S&L Labeling program to introduce S&L programs, based on 15,000 5,000 Oct 09 international standards and testing Total 116,160 34,000 12, ,660 * Cost of printing brochures + TV advertising ** Cost of data loggers + handheld units 60

61 9.3 Final recommendations Demand-side management and energy efficiency programs can bring several short and long-term benefits to all concerned. PEC will be in a position to ensure financial viability by reducing subsidy related revenue loss and deferring or avoiding capacity expansion investments. Consumers in Yemen will also gain significant savings of energy costs through better management and conservation of energy utilized. In general, DSM/EE programs are economically beneficial to Yemen as a whole, as it reduces often costly captive and hired generation, avoid or reduce load shedding and its associated economic costs and has numerous environmental benefits associated with reduced electricity generation. DSM/EE initiatives also cost much less than what it would cost to add generation capacity and strengthen network to maintain an uninterrupted supply of electricity to all. Therefore, it is strongly recommended for GoY to implement measures listed in the report in stages with donor assistance after establishing the institutional structure proposed in the report. The proposed institutional structure is essential for the effective implementation and sustainability of DSM/EE programs in Yemen. 61

73 3. Energy Efficiency Measures 3.1 Measure 1 Lighting system improvements is recommended to replace T12 lamps with T8 lamps to illuminate with high frequency electronic ballast. The reduction will be substantial with 14W from 36W tubes and 7W from 18W tubes. 3.2 Measure 2 General Lighting improvements will concentrate on introduction of natural light to the building cutting down heat transfer and introduction of lighting controls. Daylight will be introduced in common areas through special transparent material to transfer only light and not heat. Several points of lighting were found to have no proper controls for lighting points. These need to be rectified. There are few other possible areas where sensor controlled lighting can be introduced. This will solve the problem of switching off common area lighting. 3.3 Measure 3 Computer system efficiency is recommended to replace the CRT screen monitors with LCD screen monitors. This will have the following financial & user efficiency benefits. Energy saving from 150W to 35W Better view Less stress on eyes to the user Space saved on desk 3.4 Measure 4 Power system improvement is recommended to improve the power factor of the system to reduce reactive power requirement from national grid. The savings will be applicable after demand charge is applied from the tariff. 4. Conclusion In this report, EnergySolve has highlighted economically viable energy efficiency measures with regard to the electrical distribution system that can reduce operating costs of the facility drastically. We would strongly recommend that you consider implementing the findings. Our support can be extended in implementing the measures and guarantee the savings estimated. 73

The facility in Sana a, Yemen located 10 km from the Sana a international air port consists of 338 rooms with large convention facilities. EnergySolve International (Pvt) Ltd was invited by the Management of the above entity to conduct an audit of the electricity consumption as a pilot energy audit for industrial sector consumers. The study was part of a World Bank project to identify energy efficiency measures in Yemen. The walk through audit was carried out by a team of auditors attached to EnergySolve International (Pvt) Ltd on the 3 rd of December 2008 and this report highlights potential improvements to the systems installed at the premises. The study included an analysis of historical electricity consumption, onsite inspections of systems, analysis of measurements of electricity consumption, and discussions with the operation & maintenance staff attached to the installation. 2. Summary of System Efficiency Recommendations Improvement Power System Description Investment YR Saving (Annual) YR Pay back Period (Years) Reduce transformer losses, pf correction, MDB paralleling 15,000,000 2,500, Lighting System Air conditioning System Natural light introduction and LED lighting with controls Economizer, fresh air control 10,000,000 11,600, ,000,000 5,000, Total 45,000,000 19,100, Summary of energy efficiency measures Note : Prices - Electrcity unit = 30 YR / kwh Electricity fixed = 5 YR / kwh Diesel = 35 YR / ltr 75

76 3. Energy Efficiency Measures 3.1 Measure 1 Power system improvements are recommended to the electrical distribution system to reduce load on generators and transformers. It is recommended to couple all MDBs and run only one transformer on standby operation. It is recommended to correct power factor at the distribution boards far apart from the generators. This will reduce the cable loss in the transmission and the reactive power load on generator is reduced. 3.2 Measure 2 General Lighting improvements will concentrate on introduction of natural light to the building through special prismatic sheets cutting down heat transfer. There are several lighting fixtures that can be replaced with LED lighting, which will be much less in consumption. There are few other possible areas where sensor controlled lighting can be introduced. This will solve the problem of switching off common area lighting. 3.3 Measure 3 Air conditioning System Improvements are recommended as the following wastages were found in the system, which can be rectified with new innovative techniques. Introduction of 100% fresh air to keep CO & CO2 down. This can be replaced by automatic fresh controlled dampers, which will monitor CO and introduce only required fresh air. Cold exhaust air exits the building, which can be modified to be heat extracted and cool down hot fresh air entering the building through a Heat Wheel mechanism. 4.

77 EnergySolve International (Pvt) Ltd Summary Energy Audit Report Prepared for Yemen Textile Industry Co. Ltd Sana a, Yemen Prepared by ENERGYSOLVE INTERNATIONAL (PVT) LTD (A MEMBER OF THE UNITED STATES GREEN BUILDING COUNCIL) 165/55, Sri Saddharmarama Mawatha, Nawala Road, Narahenpita, Colombo 5, Sri Lanka. Tele: (94) / / Fax: (94) December 27,

78 1. Introduction Yemen Textile Industry Co. Ltd. is one of the largest manufacturing facilities in Sana a, Yemen in the field of textile. The facility is vertically integrated, manufacturing from yarn to fabric to washing & dying to final finished garment manufacturing. The supply is mainly for local market and the client is keen on obtaining international exposure. EnergySolve International (Pvt) Ltd was invited by the Management of the above entity to conduct an audit of the electricity & fuel consumption as a pilot energy audit for industrial sector consumers. The study was part of a World Bank project to identify energy efficiency measures in Yemen. The walk through audit was carried out by a team of auditors attached to EnergySolve International (Pvt) Ltd on the 3 rd of December 2008 and this report highlights potential improvements to the systems installed at the premises. The study included an analysis of historical electricity & fuel consumption, onsite inspections of systems, analysis of measurements of electricity & fuel consumption, and discussions with the operation & maintenance staff attached to the installation. 2. Summary of System Efficiency Recommendations Improvement Heating System Lighting System Machinery Improvements Description Boiler improvements, Steam system improvements Natural light introduction and task lighting with controls Reduce machine idle time and improve utilization Investment YR Saving (Annual) YR Pay back Period (Years) 5,400,000 3,600, ,600, , ,200,000 1,100, Total 13,200,000 5,450, Summary of energy efficiency measures Note : Prices - Diesel = 35 YR / ltr 78

79 3. Energy Efficiency Measures 3.1 Measure 1 Heating system improvements are recommended to the steam boiler systems and thermic fluid systems. Several inefficiencies were found in the system and common solutions are provided below. o Rectify steam leaks o Rectify insulation failures o Proper condensate recovery o Steam / condensate isolation by traps o Variable volume flow 3.2 Measure 2 General Lighting improvements will concentrate on introduction of natural light to the building cutting down heat transfer and introduction of task lighting with controls. Daylight will be introduced in most areas of the production facility through special transparent material to transfer only light and not heat. Specific tasks like sewing will be introduced with task lighting for higher illumination. There are few other possible areas where sensor controlled lighting can be introduced. This will solve the problem of switching off common area lighting. 3.3 Measure 3 Machinery Improvements are recommended as the machinery used at the facility is basic machines. The idle time consumption of these machines are high and hence the facility consumes a considerable amount of unutilized energy. The following improvements were noticed. Machine power on/off controlling during breaks Heat rollers in fabric machines to have temperature control and sensor operation. 4. Conclusion In this report, EnergySolve has highlighted economically viable energy efficiency measures with regard to the electrical distribution system that can reduce operating costs of the facility drastically. We would strongly recommend you to consider implementing the findings. Our support can be extended in implementing the measures and guarateeing the savings estimated. 79
