POSITION PAPER ON INTEGRATING RENEWABLE ENERGY IN THE NATIONAL ENERGY MIX A CASE FOR GOVERNMENT POLICY FOR INCREASED INVESTMENT IN RENEWABLE AS A SOURCE OF ENERGY ESPECIALLY IN NIGERIA By DR. PATRICK OWELLE, MD PSC SOLAR LTD When speaking about renewable energies, the argument always arises like a pavlovian reflex – the issue of high costs. The basic but not critically analysed assumption still predominates that renewable are not affordable in comparison with conventional energy sources. This negative Economic myth about renewable, acts as a permanent excuse not to adopt a grand strategy to actively deploy renewable energy. We have continued to hear fleeting statement that the time for renewable has not yet come, but we will argue that time for renewable is certainly NOW. If not now, when? Especially in developing Economies including Nigeria where after investments of several billions of Dollars for over 50 years, we only have about 2000MW of Electricity generated per year for a country of about 140 million people. This computes to about 14Watts of electricity per person per year or less than one 40W light bulb for 1hour per person for each year. This is not only scandalous but should be unacceptable to the most wretched of societies on earth. The earlier computation and analysis simply underscores and makes the case for a complete rethink on our dependence on the same old traditional fossil fuels for energy generation and demands immediate exploring of alternative sources. Traditional fossil fuels and conventional power generation methods have failed us in Africa or Africa has failed the traditional and conventional power generation methods, it is now time to do something else; namely deploying and integrating power from renewable sources like Solar, Wind and Biomass in to the national power Grids. Government and Policy short-sightedness/ Lack of Political Will The arguments that the time for renewable have not come and are highly expensive are not only short-sighted, but superficial and highly misleading. They are short sighted because they ignore the

54

fundamentally different Economic prospects of conventional energies on the one hand and renewables on the other. The following differing Economic prospects are quite compelling: ü It is obvious that conventional Energies will become more and more expensive over time, whereas the costs for renewable will steadily decrease. 10-15 short years ago, the cost of crude oil was between $18-25 per barrel and today it is nearly $90 and increasing daily. 10 -15 short years ago, the cost of Solar power was $5/Wp and today it is $180/wp and decreasing daily. I will speculate that with deregulation and removal of subsidies by government of Nigeria that fuel cost will triple and Quadruple in a few years and will be out of reach to the average Nigerian worker. ü Rising fuel costs from depleting conventional sources (oil and natural gas, coal, uranium etc) inevitably will result in increasing costs for conventional energy supply. ü Extraction costs for conventional energy sources will rise because the remaining resources become more difficult to extract, necessitating more complex and advanced technical efforts a’ la the tar sands of Canada. ü Over and beyond the above, due to the depletion of conventional energy resources, the fuel supply is coming from fewer and fewer sources in an ever-decreasing number of countries which will then lead to Monopolisation of resources. This will then give the suppliers of conventional fuels gain more and more opportunities to raise prices. At present- in the year 2010- we are in a down ward trending oil prices compared to the year 2008, but this is resulting from the critical global economic situation triggered by the global financial meltdown. These comparatively low fuel prices – approximately $90/barrel are only short lived, as the mid-term trend of conventional fuel prices is undoubtedly pointing North (upwards). PROHIBITIVELY INCREASING COST FACTORS ü Another factor that must be taken into consideration is price increases when erecting new large energy production facilities because there only exist a few producers of the necessary material and holders of the relevant technological knowledge, the large number of developing countries (including Nigeria which incidentally does not refine its crude oil but imports its refined petroleum products) with rising energy consumption are forced to rely on those few producers. Lastly, rising costs for conventional fuels associated with climate protection measures resulting from international liabilities (Kyoto protocols and Copenhagen) that will be reflected in increased energy prices. Many countries are faced with additional costs including but not limited to: ü Investment that will be necessary to provide for cooling water in Nuclear and fossil power plants in countries with insufficient water resources.

55

ü In countries where the distribution of main electricity does not cover the whole territory (roughly 2 billion people in the World and 70 million people in Nigeria) are facing high cost as well as a minimum of 10-20 years to adequately plan and extend the Grid Infrastructure.

THE CASE FOR ADOPTING RENEWABLE ENERGY TODAY IN NIGERIA/AFRICA We simply cannot do the same things over and over again and expect a different outcome/result each time. We have tried for over 50+ years using the same model and today 50 years later and several billions of dollars invested, we have nothing to show for it. Over 70% of our country is in the dark or have limited and very unstable electricity supply. Prices for renewable energy are decreasing constantly, on the other hand because only the costs for technology are relevant. These declines are due to mass production of renewable energy installations that come about by mobilised market introduction and continue technological improvements. Since installation producing renewable energy (in particular Solar and wind) can be directly set up in the Areas/locales that need it, a widespread transmission/evacuation infrastructure will be superflous. Even beyond the above, solar and wind power plants (with exception of Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) do not need water for cooling and produce No Emissions. In addition to the above, the very minimal or zero maintenance costs associated with small scale solar and individually tied to the Grid or off-Grid as the case may be makes a case for use of renewable energy over time. The conclusion is inescapable: that those investments in renewable energy today are the ONLY chance to reach a cost- effective energy supply for everyone, everywhere, NIGERIA included. The negative myth of high costs that accompany the use of renewable is superficial and misleading because it does not differentiate between Micro and Macro-Economic assumption ie expenses for a single investor on the one hand and for the whole economy on the other. It is important to note however, that this distinction is crucial for the question of whether governments stick to conventional energies or decide to orient their activities towards renewable energies. The comprehensive economic benefits accompanying the switch to renewable energy are manifold and evident especially so if the renewable that are employed are harvested nationally ie if they are indigenous resources that do not need to be imported. The magnitude of these social benefits results from the macroeconomic costs of the conventional power supply which can be avoided by employing renewable. UNEXPECTED POTENTIAL WINNERS The spectrum of potential winners from a shift in energy however goes well beyond the producers of renewable energy technologies. It also encompasses the vast majority of all other business, only a few of whom have recognised that they have a self interest in achieving independence from the conventional energy business. 56

Thus, it is in the interest of the car industry to overcome its 100 years alliance with the petroleum industry. Cars and, by extension their manufacturers, are regarded as an environmental danger largely due to fossil fuels used to drive them. The same goes for the airline industry and diesel generator industry. It is noteworthy that the first solar powered airplane was tested in March 2010 and the first Bio fuel powered airplane was tested in Australia in 2009. Future increase in the price of fuel will undoubtedly affect the car and transportation industry. The electrical and information technology industry should not have to wait for government to pass laws promoting its participation in renewable energy. It is already within its power to optimise electricity storage battery technologies, to develop new ones and put them up for sale. Agriculture also has a unique opportunity to revive and turn itself into the Economy’s’ most important resource (once deemed inconceivable through the integrated cultivation of plants and food stuffs, energy and raw materials –a threefold Economy). In the cultivation of plants and raw materials, there lies a chance to ecologise the chemical industry for a fundamental metabolism. Plants will replace petroleum as the diverse basic material of the future. Construction businesses, including the building materials industry that will experience the largest up swing if it seizes the opportunities provided by solar construction. Numerous new building materials and construction roof tiles replaced by solar PV roof tiles which serves to generate electricity and at the same time provide roof cover for buildings. And finally, there is the Local government Areas and local IPPs which are taking electricity production back into its own hands, and as a partner for Regional agriculture is discovering the production and marketing of bio fuels as a new line of work. The same is true of direct utilization of the local potential for solar radiation energy, wind, water, terrestrial and atmospheric least; it is possible to come up with integrated utilization plans that have short routes from production to consumption, plans with which a centrally organised energy business (with all the expensive outlays for its wide – ranging infrastructure) cannot compete. In short, not only will new industrial enterprises emerge when renewable energy prevails renewable energy will also open up opportunities for old branches of industry. The more autonomous investments flow into renewable energy, the faster old plant and equipment will be replaced by a new generation of decentralised energy facilities and the better it will be for NIGERIA. WAY FORWARD FOR NIGERIA ü Comprehensive policy (Legislative or Executive action) Mandating PHCN to purchase at least 10% of the country’s electricity from renewable energy provides (Solar, Wind, and Biomass etc). ü Feed – in tariff to encourage individual customers to receive payment for tying their individual renewable power plants into the National Grid 57

ü Government policy mandating 10%-20% of electricity for all new buildings to be generated from renewable sources. ü Tax reduction policies for renewables and 0% tax and 0% custom duty for renewable imports or 0% interest for renewable manufacturing plants. ü Appointment of a renewable energy minister in the ministry of power or creation of separate ministry to be member of National Executive Council to drive development of renewables as well as the integration of renewable into the National Energy Mix. ü Reduction of dependency on conventional energy source and reducing the burden on the National grid by using independent/ automatic and autonomous highly Luminous Solar Highway and Street lights. Nigeria is blessed with over abundance of resources especially but not limited to Sun and it is imperative that we begin to use this resource to the benefit of our 140million citizens. The time is now and we must collectively and very steadfastly solve this Albatross of energy problems. DR.
