                      reNew "CFL 4 ALL" Programmatic CDM Project Activity 

 

Project Background

 

Distribute for free 10 million CFLs to replace incandescent lighting (ICLS – Onion

bulbs - 40W, 60W & 100W) with equivalent lumen hours countrywide.

Estimated daily lighting usage of 3.5 hours over 10 year crediting period according to approved small scale methodology – AMS IIJ v3.

Approximately 5.1 million CERs ex-ante to be generated over 10 yr crediting period.

Project to be implemented as Programmatic CDM, covering 10 CPAs (1m CFLs =

510505 CERs)

Energy Savings - 725,620 MWh

Energy saved at generation level – 747,389 MWh

Annual energy savings at household level in Kwhrs

  • 8W - 40.9KWh
  • 12W – 61.3 KWh
  • 20W -102.2KWh

Weighted average per CFL – 72.6KWh

ECG unit of power sold at 12.77 per unit

Annual financial savings at household level in Ghs

  • 40.9KWh x 1 =40.9KWh x 0.1277 = 5.22
  • 61.3KWh x2 = 122.6KWh x 0.1277 = 15.65
  • 102.2KWh x 2 = 204.4KWh x 0.1277 = 26.11

Total annual savings =GHs 47

Total project savings = 470 (ECG KWh price constant)

Aggregate household savings per CPA = GHs 9,396,586 x 10 =94m

Aggregate household savings for POA = GHs 93,965,860 x 10 = 940m

Distribution model

 

Country divided into 10 regions (CPA each) and 167 districts

Three modes of distribution or installation:

  • House to House – CFLs replaced by reNew distribution teams
  • ECG points of sales in districts
  • Local government client contact points in districts

    Logistics

     

    Point of Delivery – Tema Port

    Customs Bonded Warehouse – Tema Port

    Haulage trucks to deliver to ECG/Local District Assembly warehouses 167 districts in 10 regions.

    Security to be coordinated by Regional and District Police

    CFLs deposited at local warehouse ready for distribution

    Daily quota distributed or replaced

     

    Staff Structure

     

    Management x 4 (Managerial, Finance, Technical)

    Project Manager x 1

    Administration x 5

    Regional Project Coordinators x 10

    District Project Coordinators x 167

    Distribution gang based in districts 15 x 167 = 2505

     

     

    Data Collection & Storage

     

    Name and Address (house numbers) will be collected (hand written) from beneficiary households

    Bulbs exchange details will be written against each name

    GPS coordinates of each beneficiary households

    Hand written data will be collated by district coordinators and typed out by Regional Coordinators. 

    Electronic data will be collated by teams at household beneficiary level

    District coordinators will be required to have three copies of all hand written information:

    • One copy to Regional  Coordinators
    • One copy to ECG district manager
    • One  copy to District Coordinators

    Records will inform payments based on output of gang members

    Copies of electronic and paper data will be backed-up and stored

    • DNA will be given copies
    • Fire proof storing safe will be used to store all back—ups
    • Online back-up facilities will also be explored

     

     

    Emission Reduction Calculation

     

    Ex-ante accounting is to be adopted

    Default values used to calculate emission reductions according to methodology

    Implementation

     

    CFL delivery from order - 8 weeks

    Confirm storage in districts

    Outsource logistics (road transport & sea freight) to local logistics company

    Recruit and train personnel

    Delivery and storage in districts

    Roll-out in regions simultaneously

    Collect data, exchange equal amounts of incandescent bulbs to CFLS

    Independent verification of number of incandescent collected – DNA, District

    Police & Local Government. Retain metal base (B22) after crushed by truck driving

    over sacks of incandescent bulbs.

    DNA or appointed agent to verify action and monitor activity
