Rural Electrification Promotion of Solar Energy
in Health Sector

• Presenter Madeleine DIOUF SARR, MENP
• Project developers Min. Energy and Min. Health
• SENEGAL

National Context

• Senegal population is estimated at 10 millions
  hbts
  
• The growing rate 2,7
• Senegal is a LDC country GDP per hbt is 530
  FCFA,
  
• Senegal depends totally from imported oil which
  has a great impact on the balance of payments
  deficit
  
• Oil importation payments cover 50 of
  exportations benefits
  
• Three objectives of the Millenniums Goals are
  concerned by health aspects (AIDS, reductions of
  maternal and baby mortality, malaria and others)
  
• For poverty alleviation in rural areas, there is
  a need to build synergy between solar energy an
  health through solar electrification of health
  workplace (post)

Current policies for Renewable Technology

• Policy declaration on Energy in 2003 and the
  orientation Law n 98-29 of 1998 which reformed
  the Electricity sector by
  
• Setting a new Senegalese Agency of Rural
  Electrification (ASER)
  
• Existence of fiscals incentives for use of wind
  or solar power since June 1981, law n 81-22
  
• Creation in 1999 of a Laboratory which control
  photovoltaïque components
  
• Definition of a Rural electrification Plan for
  solar photovoltaïque
  
• Through this policy, the park of solar equipment
  is actually more than 3.5 MWc (individuals
  systems, community systems, etc., ).

6
Situation in Rural Zones

• Many health offices in rural area are not
  electrified.
  
• These situation have impacts on population
  livelihood and poverty 
  
• A health post without electricity has many
  inconvenient
  
• high risk of maternal and baby mortality
• difficulties for medicals examinations
• use of others lightening methods (traditional
  lamps, candle)
  
• no intervention during the night
• more charge for rural families
• not availability of specific medicines

7
Why the proposal

• This idea is not new
• Experiences in using solar power in sanitary
  infrastructures
  
• was been conducted
• For exemple 
• Solar electrification power in Montrolland
  health office in 1980 lessons learned, necessity
  to integrate in the project the maintenance
  aspect
• Case of Saint Louis and Tambacounda in 1987 used
  of solar power for solar freezer to conserve
  vaccine and others medicine. Lessons learned,
  after the project implementation phase,
  difficulties to ensure the functionality of the
  freezer, so necessity to involve population in
  the management of the project
• APSPCS program in 1990 developed some 40 clinics
  in 3 regions (Ziguinchor, Fatick , Kaolack), the
  program worked and the beneficiaries participated
  in the investment for 5 of the budget. A funds
  for maintenance and acquisition of new equipment
  was been settled.

Project Promotion of Solar Energy through
health services

• Objectives 200 sanitary infrastructures (50
  health posts and 150 health huts will received
  photovoltaïque systems and solar water heater
  
• Justification
• important solar potential ( 5.8 KWh/m2/an, with
  3000 hours of sun per year,
  
• weak rate of rural electrification
• large number of sanitary infrastructures not
  electrified in rural areas
  
• those infrastructures are far from the grid, so
  no perspective of electrification in the short
  and middle period
  
• Spécifiques  objectives
• Develop a local energy resource, .
• Improve health of rural populations 
• Participate to the national goal on  poverty
  eradication 

11
Description of the project

• Project areas are far from the SENELEC grid
• Solar equipment will be 
• Photovoltaïque system for lightening and
  providing power for some electrics materials
  (refrigerator, sterilization, air conditioners,
  TV, etc ) 
• Solar water heater system type thermo siphon (hot
  water tank and his separated captor) of 120
  liters.
  
• Health post is define as a clinic with maternity
  and the health hut is smaller and it is
  connected to the health post.
  
• The project will develop in the South of Senegal,
  in Tambacounda, Ziguinchor and Kolda to improve
  the quality of health services.
  
• A steering committee will manage the project with
  representative of Energy and Health sectors and a
  staff from the financier side.

Assessment of the energy need

• Energy needs in a health post are classified in
  4
  
• categories 
• Needs for lightening  (maternity, consultation)
• Needs for heating (sterilization , provide hot
  water).
  
• Needs for freezing (to conserve vaccine,
  medicine, serum)
  
• Needs for electrics materials (video, TV,
  centrifuges, microscope)

14
Quantitative need

• 3 factors determine the directs energy needs
• Numbers of materials and lamps 
• Power of materials
• Timing for consumption
• Equipment
• Health post  460 Wc
• Health  hut  80 Wc
• TOTAL 35 KWc

15
Cost

• Health post 21 482 50 1 074 100 US
• Health hut 2882 150 432 300 US
• Management cost  5
• Miscellaneous  2
• Total Cost  1 615 058 US

Viability of the project

• Participation of local population concerned by
  the project
  
• Contribution to the investment
• Payments of energetic services
• Technical viability
• Systems have to be adapted to the local context
• Necessity to guarantee a regular maintenance 
• Materials have to be operational 

18
Viability

• Financials viability
• Strict evaluation of energy needs 
• Participation of national and local budgets
• Reduction of maintenance operation by training
  and setting installations in the same geographic
  zone (develop services contracts with
  enterprise)
• Organisation
• A local committee will be in charge of the
  management in collaboration with the technical
  element of health in institute
  
• Maintenance or even exploitation assured by
  private sector

19

Risk management
21
Interest of private sector

• To provide the equipments
• Create local enterprises to ensure the
  maintenance and provide equipments for others
  actors
  
• Replicability in others regions
• Development of a market for his products
