It provides actions to promote local manufacturing and assembly of renewables to stimulate sector growth and support rural development through decentralized solutions.
The INOGATE Programme is an international energy co-operation programme between the European Union, the littoral states of the Black and Caspian Sea’s and their neighbouring countries. The co-operation framework covers the areas of oil and gas, electricity, renewable energy and energy efficiency. The programme has four core objectives: Converging energy markets; Enhancing energy security; Supporting sustainable energy development; and Attracting investment towards energy projects.
Nepal’s access to energy and modern energy services is inadequate and the use of energy is inefficient. The electrical power supply is characterized by scheduled power interruption up to 16 hours daily. The insufficient and interrupted supply of electricity affects industrial production negatively and forces more and more industrial and commercial enterprises to generate their own electricity generally by means of diesel generators. Over the last year its development has led to the increased import of petroleum products contributing to an increased trade balance deficit. Furthermore, the additional burning of fossil fuels results in higher emissions of climate change relevant and environmentally harmful pollutants.
Energy efficiency improvements help industries, business, governments, and consumers meet their needs by using less energy, saving them money, driving investment across all sectors of the economy, creating much needed jobs, and reducing the myriad of environmental impacts of the energy production system. The industrialists, regulators, and citizens are increasingly recognizing the energy efficiency is a crucially important national resource. In fact, the demand for the energy efficiency audit by the industrialists in Rupandehi is increasing day by day.
After performing the energy efficiency audits in the industries as well as the business, the project has identified the saving potential of around 2,000 kVA electrical demand, 3,39,000 kWh electricity, 33,380 litres of Diesel fuel, 27,300 litres of Furnace Oil and 31,14,000 MJ of thermal energy.
Electricity and each type of fuel savings are being compared with the annual electricity sales by Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA) and fuel sales by Nepal Oil Corporation (NOC). Practice of energy efficiency in the different sectors has proved the saving of electrical energy equivalent to 4.03% of the sales by NEA and 2.39% of diesel sales by NOC. Finally, the energy efficiency project is being adopted by the industrialists and the business personnel to enhance their energy use.

Access to Electricity in Odighi Community in Edo State Using Photo VoltaicOgbemudia Godfrey
The project “Access to Electricity in Odighi Community in Edo State Using Photo Voltaic” has been implemented by the Community Research and Development Centre (CREDC) as part of the PREEEN Project (Promoting Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency in Nigeria). It was implemented with support from the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), the Global Environment Facility Small Grant Programme (GEF-SGP) and the Green Grant Fund (GGF). The Project was implemented in Odighi Community located in Ovia North-East Local Government Area of Edo State, Southern Nigeria.
In Odighi Community before the implementation of this project, the community was not connected to the national electricity grid and thus lacked access to electricity. This forced many of the inhabitants to rely on diesel and petrol generators for electricity supply for those who can afford it and majority of the community people used paraffin lamps and kerosene lanterns for lighting at night. This situation exposed them to various respiratory disease associated with the burning of hydrocarbon based fuel to generate heat and light energy and also increased poverty level as they kept spending more of their household income on unsustainable domestic energy sources.
The objectives of the project were: 1. To increase access to modern energy services (electricity) in Odighi Community using solar generators (Photovoltaic systems). This will enhance access to information, boost educational activities, reduce the incidence of respiratory diseases and discourage the use of traditional energy sources (kerosene lanterns, local paraffin lamps, diesel and petro generators) causing the emission of greenhouse gases leading to climate change. 2. To build capacity in the community to install and maintain photovoltaic system. This will ensure the participation of the community in the proposed project and to empower the community members sustain the project and to become potential employees in the emerging renewable energy industry in Nigeria. 3. To create awareness on the potential for renewable energy technologies (RETs) to address the energy crisis in Nigeria and at the same time mitigate the emission of greenhouse gases.

NATIONAL RENEWABLE ENERGY AND ENERGY
EFFICIENCY POLICY (NREEEP)
FOR THE ELECTRICITY SECTOR
Energy supply in Nigeria can be classified into two main categories, (a) urban and (b) rural.
Urban areas are essentially on the grid while rural areas are largely off the grid. Improved
energy supply to urban residents is being addressed mainly by the Roadmap for Power
Sector Reforms, which was launched by President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, GCFR, in
August 2012. The roadmap essentially focuses on the development of grid-based
electricity. However, the on-going power sector reforms will only enable the extension of
the national grid to large rural areas which are close to main urban areas.
Rural areas that are remote and have a low demand density will have to depend on off-grid
energy solutions as the economies of on-grid deployment do not favour rural
electrification. Off-grid areas will have to depend on alternative solutions. The implication
of this strategy for improved energy supply across Nigeria will entail the utilization of
renewable energy sources at our disposal, both on-grid and off-grid. Consequently, it is
essential that a coordinated, coherent and comprehensive renewable energy policy (REP)
be put in place to drive hydropower, biomass, solar and wind as energy sources. In this
respect, like existing sources of electricity, renewable energy can become a source of
energy that may be traded and procured by the power industry as they would procure
fossil or non-renewable energy sources. It is intended that the renewable energy policy
advanced in this document will serve as a blue print for the sustainable development,
supply and utilization of renewable energy resources within the economy for both on-grid
and off-grid energy solutions.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

7. 1.0 BACKGROUND
Nigeria, with a population of over 140 million people, only about 40% of these people have
access to electricity, and a very large majority of these people reside in the urban areas. In places
where there is access to electricity, consumers suffer from frequent power outages which last for
several hours. The power currently generated in Nigeria is inadequate and unstable, forcing a
large portion of the industry, businesses and households to rely on diesel and petrol generators as
a primary or back-up source of electricity, which can be expensive and a source of noise and air
pollutions. The utility company is facing difficulties to keep up with electricity demand.
The Nigerian government has set a target to increase electricity generation to 10,000 MW by
2012, against an overall current demand estimated to be much higher than 10,000 MW.
Subsequently, many gas-powered stations have been commissioned to increase generation and
many more are expected to be commission to meet this target. Much of government’s focus is to
generate electricity using gas powered thermal stations, which is non-renewable source and will
result in the emission of GHGs. The poor power production and supply is further exacerbated by
high distribution losses due to inefficient distribution system.
It is against this background that in 2009, the Global Environment Facility (GEF), under the
GEF-4 Strategic Programme: Climate Change Strategic Programme 1 - Promoting Energy
Efficiency in Residential and Commercial Building approved a total grant of $3 million Dollars
for Nigeria to implement the project “Promoting Energy Efficiency in Residential and Public
Sector in Nigeria” (also referred to as GEF Energy Efficiency Project). The grant was approved
by the GEF Secretariat on the 24th April, 2009. The project is being implemented by the United
Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Nigeria Country Office in collaboration with relevant
agencies of the Federal Government of Nigeria.
The project preparatory phase was launched on the 14th July, 2009 with a workshop which
attracted various stakeholders from different parts of Nigeria. Through the efforts of a team of
consultants which was recruited by the UNDP Nigeria Country Office, the Project Document
was developed from July 2009 and was first submitted for review in October 2009. The Project
Document was eventually approved by the GEF Secretariat in February 2011. The final version
was signed by all implementing partners (UNDP, GEF and the FGN) in April 2011.
In accordance with GEF requirement and as stated in the Project Document (it was stipulated in
the Project Document that the inception workshop will hold within two months from inception of
the project), the inception workshop held on the 12th of May, 2011. The workshop attracted over
90 participants from government, NGOs, private sector, professional bodies, development
partners, academic and the media. The GEF Energy Efficiency Project (GEF EE Project) will be
implemented by an Energy Efficiency Unit (EEU) which is expected to be domiciled in the
Energy Commission of Nigeria. The EEU will be managed by a Project Coordinator and will be
supported by other staff.
The objectives of the inception workshop are to re-build commitment and momentum on the
GEF EE Project among stakeholders after a long period from the preparatory phase; establish the
7
8. Project Team and support structures; ensures that stakeholders have a clear understanding of
what the project seeks to achieve and; establish procedures for oversight, and for changes in
project activities, outputs, outcomes or objective.
The overall objective of the GEF EE Project is to improve the energy efficiency of a series of
end-use equipment (refrigeration appliances, air conditioners, lighting, electric motors and fans,
heating appliances etc) used in residential and public buildings (schools, hotels, offices) in
Nigeria through the introduction of appropriate energy efficiency policies and measures (such as
Standards and Labels) and demand-side management programs. Another objective of the project
will be to strengthen the regulatory and institutional framework, develop monitoring and
enforcement mechanisms, provide training to appliance and equipment professionals, and launch
a public outreach campaign to promote energy efficiency in Nigeria.
The activities to achieve these objectives are designed to enhancing the capacity of all relevant
stakeholders at the national level of the concept, nature and potential of energy efficiency;
develop policy and legal energy efficiency requirements of end-use appliances in Nigeria; train
relevant professionals and carry out public outreaches; and conduct pilot project where 1 million
compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) will be distributed in residential and public buildings in
Nigeria. The project will assist the government of Nigeria to put in place comprehensive energy
efficiency policy and legislation. It will help to minimize the building of power stations, helping
to save money which will be invested in other sectors. This will consequently help in mitigating
the emission of greenhouse gases resulting from generating energy. It will also help to increase
Nigerian’s access to electricity.

9. 2.0 PROJECT INCEPTION WORKSHOP: OPENING SESSION
The Inception Workshop (IW) for the GEF EE Project held on Thursday 12th May 2011 at the
UN Main Auditorium, UN House in Abuja. The opening session started about 10 am with the
introduction of dignitaries. Over 90 participants attended the meeting drawn from government,
NGOs, academic, private sector, development partners and the media. Among the stakeholders
present during the workshop include the representatives of the Federal Ministry of Environment
(FME), Energy Commission of Nigeria (ECN), Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission
(NERC), Manufacturers Association of Nigeria (MAN), Economic Community of West African
States (ECOWAS), UNDP and Presidential Task Force on Power (PTFP).
2.1 UNDP Deputy Country Director
The UNDP Nigeria Deputy Country Director of Programmes, Janthomas Hiemstra delivered the
opening speech. In his remark, he acknowledged the presence of the FME, ECN, MAN and
ECOWAS in the meeting. He stated that the UNDP has been working closely with the FME on
projects to mitigate the impacts of climate change and in particular the Cross River State
government. Mr. Hiemstra spoke passionately on the essence of the current GEF EE Project,
saying it is not for just talking but action. He said that access to energy is top priority in the
President Goodluck Jonathans Administration. He called on the government not to focus only on
energy generation but should look at the area of saving and end-use management of energy
which the current EE project is addressing
Mr. Hiemstra said that the UN house is one of the biggest buildings in Abuja and that it is
amazing how much GHGs is emitted as a result of the energy consumed in the building. He said
it will be appropriate to work with the management of the UN House and other agencies of the
UN to make the building an example of energy efficient one that will become a reference point
for others to follow. Mr. Hiemstra thanked the participants for taking out time to attend the
inception workshop of the GEF EE Project.

The GEF Operational Focal Person, Mrs. O. B. Jaji was represented by Mr. Philip Bankole, a
Deputy Director in the FME. She thanked the UNDP, the GEF and all the people made the
Inception Workshop a reality. She said the project is coming at a time when the Nigerian State is
facing formidable crisis in the energy sector. Mrs. Jaji opined that total energy currently
generated in Nigeria is low compared to the demand and there is wastage at the level of the end-
user because of our behavior and the kind of appliances we use. She said that the project is
coming at a time when there is increased global concern on the impacts of energy generation on
the environment. According to her, energy generation accounts for about 60% of greenhouse gas
emission contributing significantly to global climate change.
9
10. Mrs. Jaji decried that in the past, government policies have focused so much on generation with
little or no attention given to end-use management of energy. She said that energy efficiency has
become one of the main drivers of sustainable development worldwide and energy efficiency can
play a pivotal role in economic development and environmental sustainability. Mrs. Jaji
explained that one of the goals of energy efficiency programmes is to exploit ways to reduce the
amount of energy used to produce a service and indirectly reducing the emission of greenhouse
gases and that energy efficiency has become one of the widely recognized strategies for climate
change mitigation.
The GEF Operational Focal Point is optimistic that this project will help to remove the barriers to
the development of energy efficiency in Nigeria, in particular in the residential and public
buildings. She expressed her appreciation to the GEF Trust Fund and the UNDP for putting this
project together.

2.3 Director General, Energy Commission of Nigeria
The Director General of the Energy Commission of Nigeria, Prof. A. S. Sambo was represented
by Engr. Ekpenyong Okon, a Deputy Director in the Commission. Prof. Sambo said that the
ECN was established with the mandate to recommend to government new energy sources. He
said that since 1989, the Commission has recognized the relevance of energy efficiency and that
inappropriate energy management is likened to someone fetching water from the river with a
leaking bucket. He said that promoting energy efficiency is the business of everybody.
Prof. Sambo said that the Nigerian Government through the ECN signed an MOU with Cuban
Government to distribute 1 million CFLs in Nigeria. He said that under the agreement, the Cuban
Government donated 500,000 CFLs to Nigeria while the Nigerian Government purchased
10
11. another half a million CFLs. According to him, the project is already being implemented and
many Nigerians have testified to the impact of the project.
2.4 Manufacturers Association of Nigeria
Mr. R. I. Odiah, the Chairman Infrastructure Committee of the Manufacturers Association of
Nigeria (MAN) reaffirmed that one of the biggest challenges facing Nigeria is energy access. Mr.
Odiah revealed that energy accounts for 30-35% of the production cost in Nigeria. He frowned at
the proliferation of sub-standard CFLs in the Nigerian market and that this may discourage
people from using them. He is unhappy that Nigeria has become more or less a dumping ground
for subs-standard goods. Mr. Odiah said that the MAN is working towards ensuring that CFLs
that meet desirable standards are produced locally at affordable prices.
2.5 ECOWAS
Mr. Dabire Bayaornibe, the Director Energy, ECOWAS revealed that the energy efficiency
project on the ECOWAS platform has been extended to other countries in the West African
Region to include Benin Republic, Sierra Leone and Liberia. Mr. Bayaornibe said that a centre
called ECOWAS Centre for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency was established to
provide energy access in the ECOWAS Region. He looked forward to the region having a
common market and a harmonized standard. Concluding, he said ECOWAS is happy to partner
with the GEF EE Project.
2.6 UNDP/GEF RTA
Benoit Lebot, the UNDP Climate Change Technical Adviser presented a paper titled
“Mainstreaming Climate Change Mitigation Strategy”. In his paper, Benoit revealed that there
will be no development without a sustainable access to energy. Mr. Lebot said that the whole
world is facing a growing energy crisis. In Nigeria, the demand for electricity is increasing
reflecting the dynamics of the national economy. He explained that man is emitting more carbon
than the earth can absorb and the excess of carbon emission and other related greenhouse gas
into the atmosphere is already changing the earth climate. The international community is now
seriously concerned about ongoing climate change and its impact on human & economic
development. Every economy is invited to follow a low carbon development. The ways to reduce
carbon emission are to change behavior, to promote energy efficiency, to harvest renewable
energy and stop deforestation. Mr. Lebot concluded that the current GEF EE Project is the first
that UNDP/GEF is implementing in the West African Region and that the project will help to
influence other countries in the ECOWAS region.
2.7 Vote of Thanks
Giving the vote of thanks, Mr. Etiosa Uyigue acknowledged the support of the key partners of
the project - Federal Ministry of Environment and the Energy Commission of Nigeria. He
expressed gratitude to the other stakeholders for taking out time to attend the workshop.
11
13. 3.0 PROJECT CONCEPT, GOALS, INDICATORS AND TARGETS
This session started with the introduction of the Project Team, which was done by Muyiwa
Odele, the Team Leader of the Environment and Energy Unit of the UNDP Country Office in
Nigeria. He said the Project Team comprises of the following:
• Benoit Lebot, Regional Technical Adviser
• Mamadou Saliou Toure, Portfolio Manager
• Jason Yapp, International Consultant
• Etiosa Uyigue, National Consultant
3.1 Why is UNDP implementing this Project - Muyiwa Odele
Muyiwa Odele gave the reason why the UNDP is implementing the current GEF EE Project. The
reasons include the following:
• The project is an element of UNDP Strategic approach – strengthening capacity for the
integration of energy and environmental concerns into development, planning, policies
and programmes
• Building partnership. Partnering with government to achieve the promises to it citizens
such as provision of better quality of life. The project also agrees with the NEEDS,
seven-point agenda and vision 20-20-20 initiatives of government.
• Energy is the lifeblood of the modern economy and it is a part of the broader intervention
aimed at addressing the impacts of climate change and provision of critical and solid
foundation for sustainable economic growth and transition to a low carbon pathway.
3.2 Promoting Energy Efficiency and Market Transformation in Nigeria – Benoit Lebot
Referring to a study that was conducted in 20 households in Europe, Benoit Lebot said huge
energy savings can be achieved by using energy efficient appliances. He said that from the study,
energy saving of 244 kWh/households was recorded for changing the inefficient incandescent to
energy savings lamps. Mr. Lebot called on the need to phase out inefficient incandescent lighting
in all applications. Speaking on ways to bring energy efficient equipment to the market, Lebot
said there is need to put in place energy efficiency policy and legislations; set minimum energy
performance standards (MEPS), introduce information labels; and create awareness to change
behavior. He said standard setting should follow a thorough analysis of the market, in particular
by generating baseline data to understand the level of efficiency and then using the data to shape
an energy label and set MEPS.
Mr. Lebot showed that labels have been used in developed countries of Europe, North America,
and OECD Pacific to shift the appliance market from less efficient one to more energy efficient
one. He said that labels have also been introduced in cars and houses in Europe to inform the
end-users of their level of efficiency. He explained several ways of setting MEPS, in particular,
a robust one based on a life cycle cost analysis – the life cycle cost is equal to the cost of
13
14. purchasing the appliance plus the running cost of the appliance. He gave the five steps to
transform the appliance market to include:
• Understanding the market
• Providing information and labeling
• Stimulating research and development
• Setting MEPS
• Initiating market pull with tools such as incentives, CDMs etc.
3.3 Question & Comments Session
During the Q&A session, stakeholders expressed the following concerns:
• That current policy in Nigeria does not favor the efficient use of energy. For instance,
many houses are not metered, thus the utility companies send estimated bill to customers.
Nigeria needs energy efficiency policy.
• To change behavior, much attention should be given to awareness creation in the project.
• The government should provide enough energy first before we talk about saving. There is
need for the UNDP and the developed countries to assist Nigeria in the area of
technology transfer.
• We should strengthen research and ensure the implementation of research work.
• How to ensure that the project benefits the poor Nigerians and address the issue of fake
labeling
Response: The little energy we are generating, we should use it more efficiently so that more
people can have access to energy. The UNDP is working to help the poor. However, focusing on
the poor does not mean that attention should not be given to the wealthier portion of the
population. On the issue of changing behavior, efforts may not start with the general public, but
with key stakeholders like manufacturers, importers & retailers of appliances. The current project
will help to provide the enabling environment for technology transfer to promote energy
efficiency.
3.4 Project Presentation: Goals, Targets, Indicators and Activities – Etiosa Uyigue
Uyigue said that the overall goal of the GEF EE Project is to improve the energy efficiency of a
series of end-use equipment (refrigeration appliances, air conditioners, lighting, electric motors
and fans, heating appliances etc) used in residential and public buildings. Speaking on the
components of the project, he said that there are four main components of the project: building
capacity of relevant stakeholders; developing EE legal requirements; training and public
outreach; and installation of 1 million CFLs. He highlighted the various outcomes of the project,
their indicators, targets and activities. Details are shown in Appendix 1.
14
15. 3.5 Presentation of the First Year Work Plan – Jason Yapp
Jason Yapp said the GEF EE Project will help to create the enabling environment for the
promotion of energy efficiency. Yapp said energy efficiency is about movement from our old
ways of doing things to new ways of doing things. He said it is a life style that everybody should
imbibe, that is learning to walk the talk. He presented the first year work plan of the GEF EE
Project. According to him, the first year of the project will focus on eliciting base line data to
quantify energy efficiency benefits to influence political decisions, creating awareness among
policy makers on the benefits of energy efficiency and drafting energy efficiency laws and
degrees. Detailed first year work plan is available in Appendix 4.
3.6 Questions & Comments
In this session, stakeholders expressed the following concerns:
• Stakeholders wants to know the role of the media in the project
• Stakeholders wants the energy efficiency reform to begin from the power sector
• Awareness creation is the key to behavioral change. The Project Team was invited to take
advantage of a Television programme at no cost to create awareness on the project.
Response: The media organizations are strategic partners of the project. Participants were
encouraged to study the project document.

Saliou Toure provided information on the GEF Project Cycle – Develop project idea form (PIF);
Request for Project Preparation Grant (PPG); Preparation of project document; and ways to
implement, monitor and evaluate a UNDP/GEF project. He said that the project implementing
unit reports directly to the UNDP Country Office and to the GEF Operational Focal Point. The
UNDP CO reports to the UNDP GEF Regional Coordinating Unit in Dakar, which in turn reports
to the UNDP GEF Headquarters in New York and the NY Office reports to the GEF Secretariat
16
17. in Washington DC. He said that the following components are needed in the project
implementation phase of GEF projects: EE Steering Committee (EESC); Annual Work Plan
(AWP); Inception Workshop Report (IWR); Quarterly Operational Reports (QOR); Annual
Project Report (APR); Project Implementation Reviews (PIRs); Midterm & final Evaluation; and
Risk Management Strategy (RMS).
Mr. Toure said that the role of the EESC is to guide project design and implementation. The
EESC will meet as and when necessary, but at least twice a year and it will be co-chaired by the
Ministry of Environment and the UNDP. He said the EESC will include senior officials from
other MDAs and stakeholders.
4.3 Stakeholders EE Experiences
ECN/Cuba/ECOWAS One Million CFLs Installation Project – Engr. Okon Ekpeyong
Mr. Okon of the Energy Commission of Nigeria (ECN) told participants that the ECOWAS
Commission, in recognition of the ECN’s mandates approached the Commission to assist in the
implementation of an MOU between the Ministry of Basic Industry (MINBAS) of the Republic
of Cuba and the ECOWAS for the development of energy efficiency programmes and, especially
the programmes for replacing incandescent light bulbs with compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs).
He said that under this project, the Cuban government donated 500,000 CFLs free to Nigeria,
while the Nigerian government bought equal amount from Cuba (making a total of 1 million
CFLs) and ECOWAS sponsored a Cuban expert, Engr. Raul Alfonso Camino who was in
Nigeria to assist in the project.
He reported that the ECN conducted a study to estimate quantity, type and energy rating of
incandescent lamps currently in use in Nigeria. The study was also to determine the ratio of pin
to screw lamp, the market potentials for CFLs in particular and EE in general. He said that the
study was conduct as a tool to convince the policy makers that there is huge demand for CFLs
and to sensitize end-users about the project. Okon revealed that in the Nigeria/Cuba/ECOWAS
project, 519,354 CFLs have been installed in estates, hotels, military cantonment, government
buildings and universities, and many people have testified of their energy and income saving
potentials.
He spoke on the challenges of the project to include information barriers, poor billing systems by
the utilities, access to premises, power surge and fluctuations, the CFLs design and the disposal
of replaced incandescent lamps and damaged CFLs. He recommended that there is need to put in
place policy to bring down the price of CFLs and call on the need to conduct a survey that will
help design good CFL programme. He also advocated the need for consumers’ education in the
implementation of the CFL programme. According to him, voltage stability is a key
characteristic to the success of the programme.
17
18. Schneider Electric – Marcel Hochet
The Country President of Schneider Electric, Mr. Marcel Hochet showed that the International
Energy Agency revealed that electricity demand will increase by a factor of times two by 2030.
Mr. Hochet showed that Schneider Electric is helping people to make the most use of their
energy. He presented the four steps that will help reduce electricity cost:
• Measure: Energy audit and metering
• Fix the basic: Low consumption devices, power quality and power reliability
• Automate: Provide solutions in building management, power management, motor
control, lighting control
• Monitor: Monitoring and consulting services
Mr. Hochet presented Schneider In-Diya LED lamp which can provide 8 hour backup during
power outage and the Villasol micro of-grid photo voltaic facility.
Presidential Task Force on Power – Chidi Ike
The representative of the Presidential Task Force on Power (PTFP), Mr. Chidi Ike revealed that
the PTFP has identified the energy gap in the country and that the Task Force is passionate about
energy efficiency. He said the Task Force intends to partner with other agencies like the ECN in
other not to duplicate functions. According to him, the government is committed to overhauling
the power sector. Mr. Ike said that energy saving leads to capacity release and that it very logical
for Nigerians to save the energy generated. He concluded that all UNDP projects that need
government support will certainly get it.
Coolerado Air Conditioners - Rex Adebando, Coolerado Nigeria
The representative of Coolerado Nigeria presented EE properties of the Coolerado air
conditioner which uses about 600 watts of energy equivalent to 10% of conventional air
conditioners and can save 1 ton of carbon yearly. Rex Adebando revealed that the facility can
save 60-90% energy at peak and the total energy saving can reach 50-85%. He revealed that the
Coolerado air conditioner saves money, it is green and uses fresh and filtered air.
General Electric – Joshua Kumah
The GE representative said that GE technology addresses three levels of efficiency: optical
efficiency, energy efficiency and systems based on new technology. He presented various
research work carried to show that by replacing incandescent lighting, much energy can be
saved.
18
19. 4.4 Question & Comments
Stakeholders expressed the following concerns:
• The need to disseminate the essence of the EE project
• Subsidy should be given to renewable energy and energy efficient products to encourage
the wider use of the facilities. In the long term, renewable energy is cheaper.
• NGOs should be involved in the awareness creation component of the project
• Government to encourage local production of CFLs
• The need to help stakeholders understand the procedures of CDM to encourage local
organization participate in the programme.
• SON should be mandated to give EE import license to importers of appliances
• The project needs strong government support in terms of policy, regulation and finance
for sustainability
• Why the project is promoting CFLs and not LED and the place of high educational
institutions in the project, especially in the area of R&D
• Stakeholder called for trade-in subsidy for electrical equipment and want the project
document sent to stakeholders
• The need to make use of the CDM instrument to reduce the cost of CFLs and make it
available to poor Nigerians. Government policy should place high import duties on
inefficient technologies to reduce GHGs emission.
• The project should adopt simple labels because of the level of illiteracy in Nigeria
• The present electricity price in Nigeria does not encourage the efficiency use of energy.
• The NERC is currently reviewing some legislation. There is need to liaise with NERC to
ensure that it is incorporated in the Nigeria law so that renewable energy and energy
efficiency is mainstreamed in procurement processes.
Response: On the issue of sustainability, the government has supported the
ECOWAS/ECN/Cuba 1 million CFLs Project with One Hundred Million Naira (N100 Million,
equivalent to about US $666,000). Moreover, the ECN established the National Centre for
Energy Efficiency and Conservation in the University of Lagos to drive research and
development in energy efficiency. The ECN also established an Energy Management Unit. All
these point to the fact that the Federal Government is committed to the issue of energy
efficiency.
4.9 Closing Formalities
This session closed with vote of thanks given by the UNDP Deputy Country Director
(Programmes), Janthomas Hiemstra.

20. 5.0 CHANGES TO PROJECT DOCUMENT
Since the inception of the preparatory phase of this project in July 14th 2009, the condition under
which the projects were developed still holds true in several ways. The barriers that the projects
seek to overcome are also still very much relevant, as well as the project strategy to overcome
these barriers. More also, there is no identified change in circumstance that may pose any danger
to achieving the objectives of the project. However, stakeholders during the inception meeting
saw the need to make some changes to the project document to further position the project to
achieve its objectives.
5.1 Project Management
PTFP Membership of the EESC: Stakeholder identified the need to include the Presidential
Task Force on Power (PTFP) as member of the EESC. The PTFP is the implementing arm of the
Presidential Action Committee on Power (PACP). The PACP is chaired by the President of the
Federal Republic of Nigeria, and having the Vice President as a member of the Committee. It is
perceived that with the present of PTFP in the EESC, some aspects of the project component
(policy and legislation) may get speedy attention.
Moreover, the energy efficiency sub-committee of PTFP developed a proposal to reduce energy
losses at the upstream session of the electricity grid by standardizing grid cables and feeders to
reduce transmission losses. While the GEF EE Project is addressing energy saving at the level of
the end-user, stakeholders proposed the need to integrate the two documents to complement the
objectives of both documents. The Project Team and the PTFP Sub-committee on EE are
expected to meet and discuss the possibility of integrating the two documents. The PTFP is also
expected to assist the Project Team with information from the countries utility companies.
Friend of the Environment Membership of the EESC: The approved project document stated
that Heinrich Boll Foundation (HBF) should be a member of the EESC. Stakeholders frowned at
the presence of HBF as member of the EESC representing the civil society group. HBF is a
German organization and stakeholders proposed that a Nigerian NGO should represent the civil
society group in the EESC. Subsequently, the membership of HBF in the EESC was replaced
with a Nigerian NGO, Friends of the Environment (FOTE).
UNDP Co-chair the EESC: Stakeholders proposed that the EESC should meet at least two times
a year against the three times a year stated on the project document. The approved project
document also stated that the EESC will be chaired by the GEF Operational Focal Point in the
FME. During the inception meetings, stakeholders proposed that the EESC should be co-chaired
by the UNDP. This is expected to ensure that the EESC can meet up of with the obligation of
meeting at least two times a year. The first EESC meeting was scheduled for the month of June
2011.
20
21. Distribution of CFLs: In the approved project document, it was stated that the CFLs that will be
distributed under component 4 of the project will be carried out in Lagos and Delta State.
Stakeholders have proposed that the distribution should be done across the six geopolitical zones
of Nigeria. This will give further visibility to the impacts of the project.

her. Speaking on behalf of the Team, Mr. Benoit Lebot said that the GEF EE Project will help to
22
23. which will bring about reduction in electricity demand and minimized GHGs emission. He said
the project will last for four years. Key issues that emanated from the meeting are:
• The need for reform in the Nigerian systems to mainstream energy efficiency in all
sectors and advocate for energy efficiency appliances
• The need for the project to link up with the Institute of Technology and the Ministry of
Trade
• Position the project to facilitate the potential to develop CDM projects

The PTFP is chaired by Prof. Bart Nnaji, who is also the Special Adviser to the President on
Power. The Project Team visited the PTFP to brief them on the concept of the GEF EE Project
and to explore possible areas of synergy to promote energy efficiency in Nigeria. Key issues that
emanated from the meeting are as follows:
• The PTFP is developing a roadmap to improve the energy efficiency along transmission
lines. This is being done by standardizing the transmission lines to reduce energy loses. A
sub-committee within the PTFP has been established to develop and implement this
roadmap. The sub-committee comprises of representative of the Ministry of Power, ECN,
SON, NERC and PTFP.
• The Task Force is promoting LED in their energy efficiency programme and has easy
access to PHCN data.
• Collection of baseline data before and after standardization of feeders and cable along
transmission lines to access level of efficiency.
• Potential synergy exists between UNDP GEF EE Project and that of the PTFP and the
need to work together and show case quick and feasible results was identified
• Establishment of a super structure comprising of PTFP and UNDP Management for
broader collaboration and hosting of the UNDP GEF EEU by the Taskforce; in other to
strengthen collaboration and ensure sustainability of the intervention.
• Share UNDP GEF EE project document and related work undertaken in Brazil with the
PTFP
23
24. • Share PTFP roadmap on Energy efficiency and harmonization of the two documents for a
comprehensive intervention
• EESC governance structure of the GEF EE Project to be adjusted to include the PTFP
sub-committee working on energy efficiency
Meeting with the DG, National Environmental Standards and Regulations Enforcement
Agency (NESREA)
Venue: No. 4 Oro-Ago Cresent, Garki, Abuja
Date: 16th May, 2011
Present: Dr. Mrs. Ngeri S. Benebo, Sam Akpabio, Jason Yapp, Etiosa Uyigue
NESREA is charged with the responsibility of enforcing all environmental laws, guidelines,
policies, standards and regulations in Nigeria. Also, it has the responsibility to enforce
compliance with provisions of international agreements, protocols, conventions and treaties on
the environment. The vision of the Agency is to ensure a cleaner and healthier environment for
all Nigerians, while the mission is to inspire personal and collective responsibility in building an
environmentally conscious society for the achievement of sustainable development in Nigeria.
The Project Team visited the Director General of NESREA to explore the possibility of placing
the proposed EE Legislation under the NESREA Act. In the NESREA Act, the Minster of
Environment is empowered to make regulations to enforce environmental standards without
passing through the National Assembly. The Project Team is aware that legislative processes in
Nigeria could span several years and the risk exists that the approval of the proposed EE
legislation by the National Assembly may outlive the project duration. The key issues from the
meeting are:
• NESREA has expressed willingness to work with Project Team to develop EE regulation
• It will take NESREA about 5-6 months to complete a single regulation – desk work,
technical review and input from consultants.
• The cost of developing the EE regulation will be borne by the GEF EE Project
• UNDP to write formally to NESREA requesting NESREA to develop EE regulation
Meeting with Director General, Energy Commission of Nigeria
Venue: Plot 701C, Central Business District, Abuja
Date: 18th May, 2011
Present: Prof. A. S. Sambo, Prof. E. J. Bala, Engr. Okon Ekpenyong, Jason Yapp & Etiosa
Uyigue
24
25. The key issues that emanated from the meeting with the Director General (DG) of ECN and
other top officers of the Commission are as follows:
1. The DG is very happy that GEF EE Project is timely and that the project has at last started and
he will provide full support to the project.
2. The DG was on the opinion that separate energy efficiency legislation be done instead of
hiding the EE legislation under the NESREA Law
3. The DG provided an elegant office space for the project with elegant furniture. The DG
assigned an officer to take the Project Team to see the office space.
Meeting with ENERCAP Team
Venue: Plot 701C, Central Business District, Abuja
Date: 18th May, 2011
Present: Alexandre Vial, Amadou Hott, Okon Ekpenyong, Prof. Wole Adegbero, Jason Yapp &
Etiosa Uyigue
Alexandria Vial, the CEO of ENERCAP said that his company is involved in carrying out study
around energy efficiency and involved in green financing. ENERCAP is also involved in project
development, technical training and education support. Some of their projects on renewable
energy involve the use of solar cluster and photo voltaic application. ENERCAP has launched a
project called Sun Lighting Africa where they will distribute solar lamps to replace kerosene
lighting. In their ECO Profitable Lighting Project, ENERCAP, working with Philip Lighting
have designed CFLs to handle the fluctuating voltage in Nigeria. This is to be tested. The
Mercury content of the lamp is low (0.2mg compared to the conventional CFL of 0.5mg as
approved in Europe). The lumen/watt is also about the highest in the market. ENERCAP is
planning to develop a programmatic CDM project where they will distribute 20 million CFLs in
Nigeria. ENERCAP is looking to sign an MOU with the government of Nigeria. Mr. Vial said
that the ENERCAP Team is in Nigeria to meet with various stakeholders in respect of the
planned CDM project. Key issues from the meeting include:
1. The GEF EE Project will help create the enabling environment for the ENERCAP Project
especially in the area of preparing stakeholders to understand the importance and benefits of
using CFLs instead of the incandescent lighting
Meeting with the Prof. Bart Nnaji, Chairman, Presidential Task Force on Power
Venue: Federal Secretariat, Ahmadu Bello Way, Abuja
Date: 18th May, 2011
25
26. Present: Prof. Nnaji, Chidi Ike, Jason Yapp and Etiosa Uyigue
The key issues from the meeting are:
1. After explaining the timely potential to complement the GEF EE metering study with the
proposal developed by PTFP, Prof Nnaji has suggested harmonizing the two proposals for
collecting the baseline data to quantify the benefits of CFL transformation.
2. PTFP can help to push EE legislation for quick passage through the National Assembly
3. Proposed future meeting of the Chairman of the PTFP with UNDP Resident Representative.
4. Prof Nnaji has agreed to provide the EE Project an office space.
