1 TERMS OF REFERENCE FOR AUSTRIAN TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE TO SADC ENERGY THEMATIC DIVISION 1. Background 1.1 Southern African Development Community (SADC) Member States are undergoing a sustained period of economic growth and transformation. Its population is growing, and its economies are developing and diversifying. In order to be sustained, this growth will need to be fuelled by a massive investment in energy in all of its forms SADC s overall objective in the energy sector is to ensure the availability of sufficient, reliable and least cost energy supplies 2. This is a broad goal, and numerous studies have been carried out to find viable solutions. 1.3 In the past decade, the SADC energy sector has experienced both challenges and opportunities with regard to energy development. Diminishing power generation capacity, in the context of escalating demand, has resulted in major power shortages across the region. In addition, conventional forms of energy and fossil fuels still play a very important role in SADC s energy supply. This context has highlighted the need for Southern Africa to explore opportunities to supplement the current energy supply deficit through generally using energy more efficiently and simultaneously increasing the use of different forms of energy including renewable energy sources (RE) significantly within the region s energy balance. 1.4 SADC Member States have acknowledged the benefits associated with renewable energy development at various junctures. However, at present, low levels of RE penetration and use across the region are largely attributed to a lack of effective legislative and regulatory frameworks that would support market development At the SADC level there are a number of policy tools and instruments used to govern energy sector planning and investments. SADC Protocol on Energy of 1996 provides an overall policy and governance of the SADC Energy programme. Energy infrastructure development has been guided by instruments that include the Regional Indicative Strategic Development Plan (RISDP) 4 first adopted in 2003 and revised in The purpose of the Revised RISDP is to deepen regional integration in SADC and it provides SADC Member States with a consistent and comprehensive programme of medium-term economic and social policies and in line with environment and sustainable development goals. In August 1 Africa s Renewable Future A Path to Sustainable Growth (IRENA 2013) 2 SADC Energy Policy Brief No. 2, October Expanding Energy Generation Capacity in SADC: Challenges and Opportunities for Power Sector Infrastructure Development, SADC Energy Policy Brief No.1,

2 2012, the SADC Summit approved the Regional Infrastructure Development Master Plan (RIDMP) 5. The RIDMP defines regional infrastructure requirements and conditions to facilitate the realisation of key infrastructure in the energy, water, transport, tourism, meteorology and information, communication and technology (ICT) sectors by Such infrastructure would enable the SADC region to attain regional integration, economic growth and poverty eradication. In addition to the RISDP and the RIDMP, cooperation in the SADC energy sector is captured in various other regional policy documents, some of them being almost twenty years old. 1.6 More recently, in 2016, the first SADC Energy Monitor 6, was published with the support of the Austrian Development Agency, the implementing agency of the Austrian Development Cooperation. It presents a comprehensive regional perspective of the progress made towards implementation of various SADC energy policies, and thus helps to ensure that the implementation of the SADC energy commitments in line with the SADC Protocol on Energy and other regional strategies and policies are documented and widely distributed. In addition, the publication also tracks implementation by Member States of the various energy commitments they have made at the regional level. 1.7 One of the key goals of the SADC is to achieve a sustainable energy mix that improves energy security and energy access in the region. To that end, SADC has developed a Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Strategy and Action Plan (REEESAP) that is expected to lead to the acceleration of efforts to promote RE and EE in the Member States, and hence contributing to energy security and energy access objectives. Furthermore, this will also help the SADC Member States to work towards their mitigation and adaptation commitments under the Paris Climate Change Agreement and their respective Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDCs/NDCs). Energy security and adequate access to modern and clean sources of energy are known to result in improved economic development and poverty alleviation which are the pillars of SADC Agenda stipulated in the SADC Treaty and the RISDP 2003 & Also, this work will contribute towards the implementation of the AU Agenda 2063 The Africa We Want goal 7 Environmentally sustainable and climate resilient economies and communities. It will complement the Africa Climate Change Strategy, as well as the SADC Protocol on Environmental Management and Sustainable Development. 1.8 A Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), signed by Austria and SADC in October 2008, defines renewable energy as one area of cooperation. In line with this MoU, Austria has committed to take the role as Lead International Cooperation Partner (ICP) for the SADC Energy Thematic Group (ETG). The ETG will be co-chaired by representatives of the SADC Secretariat s Directorate of Infrastructure and Services and the Lead ICP. 1.9 In order to support the SADC Energy Thematic Division (the Division) in facing their challenges, the Austrian Development Agency (ADA) offers technical assistance to SADC through an assignment of technical expertise and provision of thematic coordination and facilitation to the SADC Energy Thematic Division. This technical assistance will support the Division as outlined below in realising the established objectives of the Division. 2.
