Regional Power Market: The Road Map EAPP plans to attain full fledged power market in four stages Interconnection and generation projects in progress Institutional development also progressing Market Market Participants Transactions Preliminary Stage Current. Country to country Single buyer in each country Previous arrangements Stage #1 Transitional 2013 Mostly between neighbouring countries Single buyers IPPs & eventually Multiple sellers- buyers (in unbundled countries) Previous arrangements Bilateral Market [BTA] Balancing Mechanism (TSOs) Stage #2 Transitional 2016/7 Between any pair of countries Single buyers & eventually Multiple sellers- buyers Previous arrangements Bilateral Market [BTA] Spot Market Balancing Market Stage #3 Final 2021 Fully trading environment Multiple sellers-buyers & eventually Single buyers Liquid Market Regional Regulator RRC with few functions but empowered RRC evolves as Market. Full staff by the end of Stage #1 RRC fully established regarding staff Same as Stage #2 Regional Planning By the countries taking into account future regional developments Regional Indicative Planning Countries encouraged to take into account in their MPs the regional planning Same as Stage #1 Regional Indicative Planning Private Investors & utilities more interested in identified projects

INSTITUTIONAL CAPACITY BUILDING PROJECTS - 1 EC Technical Assistance & Capacity Building Project - EUROS 2.7m Objective is to strengthen the capability of the EAPP Permanent Secretariat Project constitutes the following components Preparation of the Eastern Africa Power Market Development Preparation of a strategic plan and a 5 year business plan Preparation of power market rules and agreements for cross-border trade
INSTITUTIONAL CAPACITY BUILDING PROJECTS - 2 Regional Master Plan & Grid Code Study (AfDB/NEPAD IPPF) - US$1.7m Objective was to develop EAPP/EAC Power Master Plan & common Grid Code and train staff to enable them update the master plan in future The project is completed and the Power Master Plan and Grid Code final report submitted in May 2011
ONGOING INSTITUTIONAL CAPACITY BUILDING PROJECTS - 3 Ministry of Foreign Affairs Norway Project - USD 2.2M Recruitment of staff for the CC and IRB - completed Installation and operationalization of the data base in progress Installation and operationalization of the Communications Infrastructure - postponed Facilitation of Institutional set up of the CC and the IRB Recruitment of Data Base Consultant - completed Recruitment of Training Consultant - completed Recruitment of Management Consultant completed Training of 0ver 60 experts (Secretariat Staff and utility representatives) on issues of regional power trade
ONGOING INSTITUTIONAL CAPACITY BUILDING PROJECTS - 4 USAID : Powering Progress PROJECT - 2.4m US$ Market development workshop held on 1-5 February 2009 Renewable and Energy Efficiency Workshop held in March 2010 Additional support to EAPP and EAC to prepare for Power Market and Power Trade. To ensure at least 3 PPAs are concluded Draft Transmission Interconnection Standards being considered by the Technical Committees and REC; Gap Analysis
INSTITUTIONAL CAPACITY BUILDING PROJECTS - 5 USAID 2.4mUSD : Powering Progress Project contd. Approval and implementation of Harmonized Transmission Standards as identified by the Grid Code Study tours to PJM and WAPP Implementation of Regulatory Regime in line with MFA, AfDB and EC Projects. Development of IDS
CRUCIAL PENDING TASKS 1 Harmonization of transmission standards is required to expand trade Implementation of the Regional Grid Code Cooperation from development partners, and participation of private and public utilities required to realize master plan (Through PPP, IPP?). Progressing capacity building until commencement of power market Supporting EAPP Secretariat until it is self sustaining
CRUCIAL PENDING TASKS 2 Gap Analysis and filling the Gaps on ability to trade in each Countries Full Establishment of the Coordination Centre (Regional Market Operations Centre) Full Establishment of an Independent Regulatory board (IRB) Staff attraction and retention (after the current training by EC & MFA) Full commitment by Regional Players
CONCLUSIONS Several power interconnections projects in EAPP region are at various stages of implementation Most projects implementation has slipped - originally expected to be completed by 2012 EAPP region now expected to be substantially interconnected by 2016/17 to facilitate regional power trade Various projects for institutional and human capacity building are either completed or are ongoing Some crucial tasks are pending and need to be addressed
