Preparation of texts revising the legal and regulatory framework: electricity code, law on the regulator and their enforcement regulations (2020-2021) |
The mission’s general objective is to contribute to the adoption of an attractive legal and regulatory framework with the introduction of an electricity code and of a new law on the regulator to build rules and practices more conducive to private investment in order to achieve universal access by 2025 and supply affordable electricity.
In particular, the mission involves defining, justifying and documenting amendments to the regulations to be integrated into the draft electricity code or other text to provide an investment-friendly framework in the energy sector covering the development of renewable energies, public-private partnerships, incentive optimisation, the optimisation of the model and acceleration of the rural electrification process, and finally, taking account of the downstream sector in the oil and gas industry. |

| Support for the development of Burundi's electricity network codes (2019) |
The general objective of this mission is to establish the network codes related to connection, operation and internal electricity market criteria.
The specific objectives are to detail the techniques, minimum design, operating criteria and procedures of the facilities and power plants, to be followed by the operators to ensure the safe, stable operation of the interconnected electricity networks. This will enable Burundi to connect to the network new powerplants, trade higher electricity flows with neighbouring countries and integrate renewable energies.
The tasks include two workshops to present the results to the actors concerned, while also transferring skills to local actors. |
| Technical assistance for the Ministry of Energy as part of institutional support and strengthening the capacities of parties involved in the energy sector in Benin (RECASEB) (2017-2022) |
The specific objective of the RECASEB programme is to improve the institutional framework of the energy sector in Benin at regulatory and organisational level and to support/encourage reforms. These reforms must make the sector more attractive for public and private investment, including new production units, particularly via renewable sources and the extension of the network for greater access to electricity services throughout the country, particularly in rural areas.
The components of the RECASEB programme are organised around three main pillars:
- capacity building of the energy sector;
- the development of management, supervisory and decision-making tools for the steering and implementation of the strategic thrusts;
- information and documentation to the parties of the sector and the general public (civil society, consumers, etc.). |
