    SAFE AND SUSTAINABLE

    ELECTRIFICATIONSince we first plugged into electricity around four centuries ago mankind has used electricity to make life better, primarily by using it to control theadverse environmental factors which can harm us. In the years to come however, the evolution of the electrification sector will be pivotal to defining how much we harm the environment. It will also be key to unlocking the economic growth which can provide stability and prosperity for a global population of nine billion.

  • Following the UAEs lead with successful RE projects, other Middle East nations are starting to unlock their own massive potential of large scale renewable energy with initiatives set to transform the region. This is not without considerable technical challenge. For those who act now, there is tremendous opportunity. With interest in the Middle East energy sector increasing so rapidly, the demand from all stakeholders for high quality, experienced and independent advice has never been greater. We have carefully focused our global wealth of knowledge and experience in energy to develop a range of services to solve the unique complications and obstacles the industry faces in the Middle East.

  • DNV GLS ELECTRIFICATIONVISION 2050

    EfficiencyWidespread adoption of modern supply technolo-gies such as smart grids, CHP plants and energy storage solutions have created a much more efficient and effective electricity supply infrastruc-ture, that is capable of dealing flexibly with inputs from variable sources. More energy-efficient appli-ances and new materials, e.g. for insulation, have reduced the energy needed for specific energy services such cooling or heating.

    Clean energy dominanceEmissions in the power sector will be a quarter of todays levels by 2050. The energy mix is character-ised by dominating renewable energy sources and a remaining base of low-carbon fossil-fuel techno- logies. Clean energy use will be backed by tough regulation to penalize carbon emissions; the deploy-ment of hydro, wind or solar power will tend to be determined by geography. i.e. socioeconomic structure, climate and the networks. The shift to new energy sources has also reduced local air pollution, boosting public health.

    Decentralisation and democratisationElectricity has become the essential energy source for transportation and residential energy needs, including heating, and much more of this energy comes from decentralised generation such as micro wind turbines, solar panels on residential roofs or stand-alone combined heat and power stations. These are often owned and operated by local con-sumers and businesses spurring local and regional development without environmental degradation, whilst ensuring security of supply.

    Energy for allEverybody has access to affordable basic energy services such as heating, lighting and electricity-based household appliances, ending the scourge of fuel poverty. Much of the low-cost energy comes from clean technology sources such as solar.

    WHERE WE WANT TO GO:ELECTRIFICATION VISION 2050

    Our vision for a safe and sustainable electrification sector is one that is efficientand affordable, and powered by cleanerand more decentralized sources.

    REGULATORY & SUPERVISORY BUREAU (RSB)DUBAI, UNITED ARAB EMIRATESDesigning an ESCO Regulatory Framework

    ClientRegulatory & Supervisory Bureau (RSB) Dubai

    BackgroundDubai has an ambitious target to improve the efficiency of energy use in the Emirate, aiming to achieve 30% energy efficiency by 2030. Energy Service Companies (ESCOs) are seen as a potentially valuable way of delivering energy savings.

    However, at the moment the market is largely untapped. In order to encourage ESCOs uptake amongst the developers, an effective regulatory regime needed to be established, that would pro-tect the relevant parties and encourage cooperation between the relevant stakeholders. RSB was looking for a consultant who would be able to develop the ESCO regulatory regime.

    Project descriptionThe project focused on developing an effective regulatory regime to foster ESCO development and establishment in Dubai. As part of the project we developed a comprehensive regulatory system for ESCOs in Dubai, which included an AccreditationScheme, Standard Measurement and Verification Protocol specific to Dubai, Shared and Guaranteed Savings Contract templates and a Dispute Resolu-tion system.

    For the project to be successful intensive stake-holder management and collaboration was required. Through this process stakeholders were encouraged to provide their feedback on the proposed ideas, thus ensuring the comprehensiveness of the regulation.

  • DNV GL in the Middle East ENERGY 09

    Services provided by DNV GLDNV GL was leading the project and was respon-sible for the creation of ESCO Accreditation Scheme, development of Measurements and Verification Standard and full stakeholder management. With the support from a local law firm, Shared and Guaranteed Savings Contract templates and a Dispute Resolution system was developed.

    DNV GL ensured full transparency of the project liaising with representatives from over 30 institutions including regulation authorities and governmental institutions (DEWA, Dubai Municipality, Supreme Council of Energy, Dubai Airport), financing institutions (Standard Chartered, Emirates NBD), property developers, ESCOs and building owners and managers.

    All of the feedback was analyzed by DNV GL and addressed as needed, informing the stakeholders of the outcome of their suggestions. In order to ensure acceptance of the regulation bilateral (face-to-face) meetings with the key stakeholders were also held. As a result of our approach, the ESCO regulation has now been approved by the governmental bodies of Dubai and several companies have already gained the accreditation.

    RURAL AREAS ELECTRICITY COMPANYRAEC - OMANAsset serviceability study

    ClientThe Rural Areas Electricity Company SAOC (RAEC) was formally created in 2005 as part of the Transfer Scheme implementation process of the new electricity market structure. The vision of RAEC is to Provide cost effective electricity to all premises in rural areas in Oman.RAEC is primarily undertaking electricity generation, water desalination and electricity distribution activities in its authorized areas.

    BackgroundRAECO expressed that there are savings to be achieved by replacing old, inefficient units with modern ones that operate more efficiently, or interlinking areas and closing sites. Moreover, there may be further savings possible by diversifying the fuel portfolio with the introduction of feedstock other than diesel fuel. Options include renewables such as solar and wind power. Therefore, RAECO has requested DNV GL to make an assessment study, assessing the power generation and desalination assets.

    Project descriptionRAECO has requested DNV GL to make an assess-ment study, assessing the power generation and desalination assets. The overall objective of the project is that RAECO needs to undertake a major review and detailed assessment of its existing power generation and water production plants to detemine the optimal mix of plants, and the extent to which savings can be achieved and overall performance improved by diversifying the plant mix and fuel selection.

    Options need to be identified and potential savings estimated to determine if alternative supply options are technically and economically feasible.

    Another objective of the project is to look ahead. RAECO wants to make sure that it can deliver power and water, now and in the future. In this respect, the study will also look at the development of the demand and determine what needs to be done in order to meet future demand (time span 2011-2020).
