10012448-Accord-cadre sur la transition énergétique - Pool Experts en appui au PEDIII

The "Sustainable Energy Programme in Senegal" (PED III) is a technical cooperation project of the Senegalese Ministry of Energy, Oil and Mines (MEPM), financed by BMZ and implemented by GIZ. The project amounts to 7.500.000 EUR and runs from 01/2026 to 12/2028. The main implementing partners are, besides the MEPM, the Agence pour l'économie et la gestion de l'énergie (AEME), the Agence nationale des énergies renouvelables (ANER), the Agence sénégalaise de l'électrification rurale (ASER), the Commission de régulation du secteur de l'électricité (CRSE), the Compagnie nationale de l'électricité (SENELEC), the private sector and civil society. The aim of PED III is "to support the effective implementation of the Just Energy Transition by the main players in Senegal's public and private sectors at both strategic and operational levels". The project contributes to achieving the objectives of the national energy policy linked to renewable energy (RE) and energy efficiency (EE) for the implementation of the 2030 Agenda SDGs, in particular SDG 7 (access to energy), 8 (decent work and economic growth), 9 (industrialisation) and 13 (combating climate change), as well as German support for achieving the objectives of the Just Energy Transition Partnership (JET-P) signed between Senegal and the G7 in June 2023. The project's target groups are the public sector (ministries, national and decentralised authorities, training and research establishments) and the private sector (media, businesses, private sector support structures and women's socio-economic organisations). The Senegalese population will have greater access to a competitive and sustainable energy supply. New jobs linked to the fair energy transition are within the reach of women, young people and professionals, depending on their areas of expertise. At national level, the capacities of the Ministry of Energy and other stakeholders to steer the energy transition process will be strengthened. In addition, support for the operationalisation of the ecosystem enabling private investment in the transition will be supported. Lastly, the economic opportunities of the transition and the capacity-building required for its deployment will be promoted. The expected results of the project are as follows: 1. The coherent governance structure for RE & EE within JETP is strengthened. 2. The framework conditions for the integration of renewable energies into the grid and private investment in renewable energies and energy efficiency are improved 3. Public and private players have the necessary skills to implement inclusive energy transition projects.
