[en] In order to give some flexibility to the quota system for the reduction of carbon emission, the Kyoto Protocol notably introduced the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM). This guide aims at precisely assessing the possible use of the CDM to fund projects of decentralised rural electrification which are implemented in developing countries. In its first part, it presents this type of electrification (principles, technical, organisational or financial modalities) and the use of renewable energies in order to meet, while respecting the environment, demands and needs in electric power services in places which cannot be reached by power transmission networks. It also presents the CDM, its principles, associated procedures for the validation and control of their results, with a focus on small size projects. In its second part, this guide describes how to assess the possible use of the CDM to fund decentralised rural electrification projects in developing countries. A theoretical example addresses the replacement of pumping systems based on power generators by pumping systems based on solar energy in ten villages of Madagascar. Possible carbon credits associated with such a project are assessed, and implications regarding the project financial balance are analysed

[en] How come the most destitute people pay the world's top prices for electricity? Can this be reversed? Rural electrification efforts have been trialing renewable energies for fifty years, primarily in Sub-Saharan Africa. The time has come to draw on this wealth of experience for the future, make an audit and suggest useful recommendations to all stakeholders. This book has been written on the basis of the thirty years' expertise built up by Fondation Energies pour le Monde, specialists who are mindful of rural populations' demands and who seek sustainable solutions. It enjoys the benefit of their knowledge of the role of project manager delegate, directing the whole spectrum of players, from users to ministries, including financial backers, operators, equipment suppliers and local authorities. So many voices who express their opinions in the book and who need to work more closely together to make a difference.

Les plus pauvres du monde paient l'electricite la plus chere du monde. Pourquoi? Est-ce irreversible? L'electrification rurale par energies renouvelables est riche de cinquante ans d'experiences, notamment menees en Afrique subsaharienne. Il est aujourd'hui possible et utile d'en tirer des lecons pour l'avenir, de poser un diagnostic et de formuler des preconisations d'action pour toutes les parties prenantes. S'appuyant sur trente ans d'expertise de la Fondation energies pour le Monde, cet ouvrage a ete ecrit par des praticiens soucieux de la demande des populations rurales et de la perennite des projets. Il beneficie de leur connaissance du role de maitre d'ouvrage delegue, orchestrant toute la palette des acteurs, des usagers aux ministeres, en passant par les bailleurs de fonds, les operateurs, les fournisseurs de materiel et les autorites locales. Autant de voix qui temoignent dans l'ouvrage et sont appelees a travailler davantage a l'unisson pour changer la donne.Source

[en] A first publication proposes an overview of the state-of-the-art of technologies and equipment of solar pumping manufactured in Europe, by reviewing available equipment, their characteristics, assets, limitations, fields of application and costs. After some generalities on solar pumping (history, general principles, the two categories of solar pumps), it addresses domestic solar pumps (construction, operation, installation types, performance), solar pumps for villages (offer evolution, components and performance of submerged centrifugal pumps and of submerged volumetric pumps), and system prices. Appendices recall the main notions of hydraulic and pumping, and propose a list of manufacturers. The second publication reviews all the components of a solar pump. Based on field observations, it addresses the design and dimensioning of components (aspects related to the water resource, need assessment, storage tank, photovoltaic pump, network, standposts), the installation of the system, its commissioning, reception, and performance measurement, its exploitation and maintenance
