I. GEEP Brief Overview

• SolaWin (hybrid PV and wind power system)
  utilizes Mongolias abundant sun and wind
• In May 2007 three wells were dug on-site to
  determine the sufficiency of water flow to be
  used for irrigation
• Natural irrigation system constructed by using
  slope of the site
• Trees grown on the plantation will be planted to
  combat desertification
• In ensure economic sustainability, cash crops
  including medicinal plants will be grown

GEEP Project Update

• Completed Monitoring Station and site preparation
  in September 2008
• Construction of fencing around the site will be
  completed in November 2008
• Installed 80kw hybrid system (4 sets of 10kw wind
  turbines 40kw PV panels)
• Dug four 5000-ton reservoirs
• Successful test planting in greenhouse of
  potatoes and other vegetables
• confirmed the potential for seedling
  cultivation
• two ton potato harvest
• Will finish first stage of site preparation and
  testing of SolaWin in May/June 2009
• hold a formal opening ceremony and
  international seminar
• China and Uzbekistan seen as good potential
  markets

II. Energy Poverty in Mongolia(a) ISSUES

• Energy shortages
• Electricity shortfalls
• Central system but in poor condition with high
  losses
• Some electricity in provincial capitals

20
Energy Poverty in Mongolia(b) SOLUTIONS

• Investment in system rehabilitation
• Technical assistance to improve system
  management
• Strengthening of reforms
• - to improve efficiency
• - commercial viability

21
GEEP Energy Poverty in Mongolia

• Provision of electricity to the steppes from a
  grid is impossible
• This makes pumping of groundwater impossible
• 80 of Mongolia is experiencing some form of
  desertification
• GEEP by providing electricity, (thus reliving
  energy poverty) not only can groundwater be
  pumped and greening can occur (desertification
  redress) but new livelihoods will be created

22
GEEP The Challenges

• Within Mongolia
• - taxes on imported equipment
• - short weather-related construction period
• - weak or non-existent infrastructure
• Sharing GEEP with Asia
• - depends on analysis of groundwater
  availability
• - creating an economically-viable model

23
WEC Views

• Provide the most vulnerable people with access to
  affordable energy
• Rising prices increase inequality drawing sharp
  lines between those who do have access to energy
  and those who do not
• Achieving growth while reducing inequalities
• WEF and WEC view energy poverty as an important
  development issuethe two institutions will
  jointly work on the Energy Poverty Action (EPA)
  project

24
WECs Role

• formidable platform for ideas
• work based on field realities
• regional action plans can help incite immediate
  action (Gadonneix, Rome 2007)

25
WECs Role 2

• Exactly how far can WEC go in
• - Facilitation for financial
  support/investments
• IBRD, ADB, Korea Development Bank, Korea
  Export Import Bank, Korean Investment
  Corporation
• - Promotion of project development/replicatio
  n
• (from Mongolia to Asia)
• - Support for holding workshop/seminar
• - Publicity
• In ways that will enhance the influence and
  visibility of WEC?
• EPAMU (Energy Poverty Action Management Unit) a
  model for Asia too?
