| Summary: | Madagascar has enormous energy
resources, particularly renewable ones (hydraulic, solar,
wind, biomass), but national energy consumption is still
very low, and is dominated by wood energy and its
by-products. Madagascar imports all of its petrol products,
and energy costs are too high to effectively contribute to
social and economic development of the country. ESMAP
(Energy Sector Management Assistance Program) is a technical
assistance program managed by the World Bank and supported
by eleven bilateral donors. ESMAP launched in January 2013
as an initiative to support the efforts of countries to
improve knowledge of their renewable energy resources (REN),
to establish appropriate institutional frameworks for the
development of REN, and to provide free access to geospatial
resources and data. This initiative will also support the
IRENA-GlobalAtlas program by improving data availability and
quality, through an interactive atlas. This study is part of
a technical assistance project funded by ESMAP and
implemented by the World Bank in Madagascar , which aims to
support mapping resources and geospatial planning for small
hydropower. It is conducted in close coordination with the
Ministry of Energy, the Electricity Regulation Office (ERO),
Development Agency of Rural Electrification (DARE) and Jiro
sy Rano Malagasy (JIRAMA). |
