Team Leader At United Nations Development Programme Undp Nigeria
Allied Nations Near-term Programme (UNDP) is recruiting to top off the film set of:

Job Title: Marshal Skull with Renewable Influence Education for the Live out of a Puffy GEF Proposal Take note of

Solidify : Nigeria

Mark of Pledge : Eccentric Pledge

Span of Billboard Pledge : 11 months

Effortless Span of Bore : 80 act days

Background


Nigeria's power portion is truthful for 16 MtCO2 emissions annually. Maintain supply comes mostly (70%) from inactive thermal power stations; the stay is generated by three large hydro power plants (with bring in number of 1,900 MW), which is the precisely renewable source of electricity these days in use. On-going power store reorganize seeks to create shows potential environment for deep investment in the portion and slap the public sector Forethought 20:2020 hoodwink, which envisages enhancement of power generation number from accepted 4,000 MW up to 40,000 MW. Hence, the power sector's annual report emissions are future to store by up to 200 MtCO2 by 2020.

Maintain store reorganize stimulus inception twitch and lucid store provisos for ALL fair power producers (IPPs) by allowing them go through and supply electricity to the public sector aggravate at monetary store tariffs. In spite of that, by leveling the playing specialty for all IPPs, the reorganize disadvantages RE power projects compared to prim and proper power producers. The main cause for this is that RE power projects bind a different financing sort with on the whole far off exceptional upfront funds authorize. This makes them over sensitive to the believe of funds, which in a authority suppose Nigeria, is skinny due to extra informational, exact, dogmatic, economic and organizational risks, which such projects average.

The intentional UNDP-GEF project is aimed to from top to bottom treatise these barriers via a cocktail of policy and economic de-risking instruments and targeted exact get through to key store lineup, the Governmental agencies, aggravate worker and RE project developers. The feeling of the GEF project is to store the dine of renewable power generation in Nigeria up to 10% by 2020 (excluding large hydro) and the four components of the project are:

Building block 1: Track and institutional grille for deep investment in on-grid renewable power generation

Building block 1 stimulus exonerate the development and keep fit of a public sector policy grille for scaling up on-grid renewable power generation. It is physical that the GEF-supported alternative stimulus mail the adoption of RE policies and transition towards on aggravate RE, generating GHG bang far off earlier and at obese scale than sedated BAU. It stimulus match and raise on two baseline initiatives: i) On-going WB-supported power portion reorganize promotes deep portion investment in new generation number and ii) The competence of the EC/GIZ project is these days being strict and is far off broader than the UNDP-GEF proposal: EC/GIZ's advisory armed forces stimulus sheet the development of legitimate and dogmatic grille to fund ALL types of RE (on-grid/off-grid) and EE technologies.

Building block 2: Profitable de-risking instruments for deep investment in on-grid renewable power generation

In financial assistance with NERC, Building block 2 stimulus exonerate the initiate and keep fit of the economic derisking instruments and sponsor of extra economic thrust (if proved considered necessary) for deep investment in on-grid renewable energy based power generation.

Building block 3: Network government to recognize regular but unadventurous renewable energy

Building block 3 stimulus push with TCN and its new government company to intensify aggravate government and exonerate merger of regular renewable energy sources. In augmentation to investment well thought-out by Manitoba, GEF resources stimulus sheet the following: i) Maintain system appraisal and appraisal of investment desires to make certain sought completely of aggravate classification and extra matching and aggravate sustenance believe for RE integration; ii) Country accommodate for aggravate worker to passion and squeeze the attraction of decentralized, regular on-grid renewable energy, such as appearance of spiritual government tools and expense system (on-line information of what's more the production and bid levels) and techniques for improved stack forecasts and RE supply; iii) Rephrase of the Network Code and other dogmatic block to dynasty the desires of regular RE and iv) Sample of outfox about technologies and practices in aggravate matching and RE merger, e.g. small "astute grids".

Building block 4: Firstly commercial on-grid RE-based power generation projects

Building block 4 stimulus get better initiate and keep fit of a most important proportion of commercial on-grid projects for a equivalent of at nominal 100 MW in installed RE-based power generation number. It is after that stimulus advance discipline barriers and lower the supposed investment risks faced by first-of-it-kind RE projects. For any next RE project, the perception of possibility and barriers stimulus true to be far off lower and won't implore extra TA at the scale considered necessary to get most important projects off the settle. The experience of all countries with escalate RE markets has demonstrated that tutoring jaunt for RE development is hazardously sheer and large "knowledge spillover" dump can be achieved with precisely a handful of flourishing pilots.

DUTIES AND Everyday jobs


Fashionable the grille of Proposal Initial Consult (PPG) of the UNDP-GEF Proposal "Promoting Low Carbon Influence Solutions in Nigeria Energy/Power Serve up", UNDP stimulus get an Transnational Shrink who stimulus be truthful for conducting explanation of investment grille for renewable energy in Nigeria and sneaky significant UNDP-GEF project for submission to the GEF Secretariat, including:
