RENEWABLE ENERGY TECHNOLOGIES (RETS)

Cogeneration and Geothermal Energy

The Foundation, in collaboration with the African Policy Research Network (AFREPREN), has over the last year conducted a regional study on the status of renewable energy technologies (RETS) in the East and Horn of Africa Region, with a focus on Cogeneration and Geothermal Energy, and the potential contribution that these clean energies can make to Africa's development.

The study was conducted in Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania and Ethiopia as a follow up to the Water, Energy, Health, Agriculture and Biodiversity (WEHAB) issues that governments committed to meet at the World Summit on Sustainable Development (WSSD) in Johannesburg in September 2002, and also to assess whether they have met the 10% target of national energy needs generated from RETS. These studies have been disseminated in national workshops, shared at a high-level policymakers forum with African Energy ministers, presented as a side event at the Renewables 2004 Bonn Conference in June 2004 and published in easily readable forms.

We present the key study findings, events, proceedings, publications and future outlooks on this continuing endeavour.
