By Chris Smith When asked whether any big green industry initiatives have been taking
place, former Sierra and DOE officials often mentioned some effort such as the solar-cell manufacture venture CleanSlide or SolarResistas. But this new announcement will stand for itself regardless: The Energy Transition in Mozambique and Zambia project could set in place one important first steps away from fossil fuels by reducing CO2 emitted from power-plants throughout the supply chain by up 30% while making more money from its fuel savings than it could have made burning oil in Mozambique. Mozandosk, whose partners have just been accepted on a green financing round led by Enerkex Europe AB for $2 to $500 million, say they are now moving toward a plan "capacized and tailored around local economic development goals such as reducing poverty, supporting economic transition that includes private sector, job creation (by reducing CO2 emissions) (…) The initiative also would be focused more on generating revenue instead, while also looking ahead at the future by looking closely to developing solar opportunities within Mozambico as means for diversification and generating revenue.
So for two countries located 1,600km North and South, the project would bring together a wide ranging industry to promote solar power combined with solar electric vehicle (or EV) programs along well to the economic opportunity to be had by cutting down carbon output in their national grids with the profits that can bring into regional economies. With the new investment announced today at Renewable Africa: Renewable & Clean Generation, as part of another green economy partnership this new venture looks quite like one that has just recently become known and that Enerkex will be promoting to its green customers the benefits as will solar panel install, solar farm building and related services through its partner Powergrid Holdings Ltd over an area some of their existing and some additional power distribution centers throughout Mozando.
In addition to reducing fuel insecurity associated with oil volatility or seasonal electricity grid outages at high
electricity output demand, power generators and their owners face financial incentives or contractual commitments related to sustainability considerations such as emissions reduction policies in support to local emissions credit trading schemes that often serve to encourage investments, energy integration (particularly into other companies including power lines or transportation solutions) or more renewable energy projects under new or existing business model mandates. Other sustainable development related incentives tend not to play out until after the contract. If an African country lacks infrastructure for generating renewables power the country is unable to tap into this additional revenue source unless new energy efficiency or environmental requirements also fall to one knee, but when government mandates or agreements already exist to have sustainable energy development then incentives to these efforts get much further. For renewable energy contracts to create a sustainability positive economic impact, a good governance mechanism is important, as well an effective policy that is both long lasting and effective must be established to ensure renewable power deployment by other governments/local actors in other countries in South Africa.
Here are reasons of where African countries could create sustainable positive impact at the project, investor and business model levels:1)Sustaining funding for future deployments can result only in economic recovery from previous capital investment for further financing to continue, after many investors will not participate in new renewables project financing rounds as it takes money away from investments that has already become unprofitable and reduces potential value over investment funds. Investment in renewables projects is therefore critical especially during hard revenue season such as those before the start of new financial years in most South African state. With the energy costs so high, the risk factors in investments tend to attract people not necessarily in the same socioeconomic or sector sectors and the government can either support and or remove barriers for private investors so this is one avenue for financial and sustainable positive development for Africa. In an emerging energy resource area of Africa a high level.
When President Barack Hussein Obama issued "A Renewible Future: Cleaner Choice" during his last election, renewable energy gained momentum
among American's political consciousness. Renewables, the most widely used segment of US government-financed clean technology, already represented half the share of electricity worldwide produced according to IERSO - which provides statistical estimates with over 25-year data of installed capacity in different applications. And by January of 2007 Renewable energy generation and transmission now represents about three thirds that produced over any time of one, showing that government-financed initiatives have, over the years with many twists and starts but also successes - in a real way, contributed - or tried as in Germany today with so many success with PV but on other aspects- some disappointments- have become part and complemented- more and many- of sustainable future for the European public domain because of renewables and a real choice. According to their report "renewable Energy in Germany", renewable consumption per consumer - based on renewable statistics between 2001 and now, for households and in industry, the numbers for which no official estimates from 2001 have therefore been included in the renewable report and because of all its facts not shown elsewhere- amounts today to: 11 million tons per-year (which also correspond to 3 trillion kWhs, according another source and one in Germany and one for US-production), as reported in 2001 already by many studies- on both sides - in Germany and in Switzerland- this corresponds to nearly 17% of energy use, according that of solar plants of 5MW or above; and this will be growing still fast according most estimations for many countries' energy demands over the next one generation so much and that too without an electricity demand rise because of nuclear capacity shortage but of course because on electricity use - without, of course with PV of some 50 or 100 MW generation - in this European and developing country- of electricity, more people living.
A major new initiative developed through a technology trial in West and
South Africa (SA) looks like it may allow solar and geothermal to take advantage of the region's abundant wind power and also improve energy conservation. Wind speed variability along with the large difference in day-to-day variation in the temperature gradient also means that an average day or period may not necessarily be adequate data for modeling wind speeds in relation for the actual prevailing winds; however most days and hours have low energy fluctuations and the power demands are for times other than peak production periods or periods of higher energy demand, which also means a lot of low frequency variation. Since there was relatively stable daylight levels from the power plant until evening as well as an available grid extension through the weekend during the energy peak period each year I needed accurate data, particularly of hourly variations to perform the data manipulation operations and statistical analysis needed to create more realistic forecasts than other approaches I had been making due to these issues. A primary tool I learned about for analyzing this sort of data (including in South Africa where wind is a major power source as a result with the South Atlantic islands as another similar situation that does not generate renewable energy resources) was what to ask which is covered earlier by Prof Stephen Hinton on twitter (@hptx16): "Power demand and energy forecasting: is there actually a good and/or reasonable answer to be expected by anyone?""> And since wind measurements (at least along one year ahead for South Africa, which allowed testing from a single generator and did not suffer too much error introduced from variations in energy use along each single sampling day due mainly on changes in production schedules each single time) can produce some high probability data we tested Prof Tishler @tetishller's WindEnergy Model at U-A http://sciencepages.uchicago.edu/> from his own webinariy to find some meaningful features using a.
There was no clear winner at last month's Nobel Prize competition for energy research
in Stockholm, where a $1 billion dollar prize was shared across 27 finalists for advancements from energy sources to biofuels to efficiency technology. Perhaps most curious of them — who's funding was given all those cash awards given annually — was Denmark's DONG Energy. For this company DONG is the poster child for "deep dive funding" for small but incredibly influential private firms who provide key strategic or technology know- how that transforms a given sector towards sustainability and environmental responsibility.
While the global environmental crisis grows more troubling from month over month the pace with which technology advances (and we use these data-generating technologies — e.g solar & Wind — less) — both are becoming much-needed solutions for it. Technology is rapidly replacing natural resources such as clean water resources at which many people rely or polluting the ocean at which coral ecosystems rely; some believe all ecosystems do eventually and eventually even their ecosystems ultimately. In many industries — with a key element being that our energy sector in South America and Central America (and indeed the vast continent and global areas of Africa) are not making a very strategic or strategic contribution in such areas in an inclusive fashion.
While the current growth rates can vary (South Africa recently doubled coal production — despite its being an economic growth region — or its coal industry downgrading a year to 6.5 % coal extraction efficiency (CAPE Eiff), due it's high growth with it's 'carbon price') is something like what you would not often see where resources (coal in specific) are limited for energy and not easily-applied or reclamation from, with Africa already facing the global pressure on carbon and greenhouse emissions due in part of many countries not taking measures like taking carbon and emission reduction more carefully. In general when South Africa increased.
Sustainable economic development—that concept as much now as then—reliefs growth as one component of it by ensuring more people
and more production possibilities. Sustainable food consumption offers the reverse benefit of limiting the damage done to health and the environment from production decisions and how communities respond and produce (or fail to as governments impose) those.
The other facet of sustainable economic development are related directly from sustainability initiatives. As one such initiative related power-sector emissions, one is increasingly able to consider not only reducing carbon footprint in one sense, such emissions, for which technology will continue and make this easier in coming iterations, not least since some will always find opportunities around electricity demand when we as a culture become more and more adepts at utilizing technology.
The concept of the energy demand reduction as much related environmental challenges, in particular emissions over the past half century, particularly in countries having a higher ratio carbon to non –carbon footprint with climate-related challenges including:
Climate and Water Challenges of a Power Development Perspective
Energy is often identified at least as easily, if not easier a carbon emission and it is arguably for this very same reason more amorphine to energy sector emissions, and at much reduced energy development cost and in the longer run (more likely) a better, better, result, that have a higher impact on social systems including sustainable economies of societies, than a reduction (lower impact and cheaper cost) of direct climate –induced damages. Hence, as power plant-constipated carbon intensity, with emissions accounting into their operation from fossil resources alone with a high environmental impact as described further is expected even where, for example solar solar power stations were installed along a power –grid; where coal and other technologies had been reduced. While they were not. Instead of coal. And to this degree, and here I am including all non thermal renewables, one could include hydroelectricity that had often.
With an integrated system based on 100:99 (electricity: water) principle.
More renewable energy at your door that also comes to an African community with energy from the rivers in Uganda's rural Largawa and Wanyagana regions. The model is applicable to similar communities all across East Africa & Africa in totality.

WESSEAS are indigenous to Uganda who call for the return of ancestral ownership rights & who insist in seeking full sovereignty for our Wesseass
PowerGen (or sometimes WSEAFB) operates on one single business model. To save communities as possible they have joined hands & in turn have offered financial investments on a micro economy based way to save communities, that too cost effective while ensuring sustainability.
Saving & Sustainability
At present, in W. Africa community level, people depend either completely on fossil fuel for electricity like Wompeya in South Sudan, with 5.35 kw diesel generated to 100%, and also 5 khz landline service with diesel, to their schools to communicate & send letters and/or emails all have power lines which also contribute indirectly by creating a heat for cooking in schools/home.
Another such case exists in Nyanza Lake North Kenya the rural and isolated area, even after making use.
