Energy SectorMeasures relating to the energy sector (Table 1 in annex):increasing national electricity generation capacity and promoting the use of natural gas and renewable energies in the production of electricity from (i) bi-fuel (400 MW), (ii) hydroelectric generating stations (four hydroelectric generating stations totaling a capacity to install 396.6 MW); (iii) photovoltaic solar power plants (54.2 MWp);promotion of the efficient use of wood energy and the use of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) as an alternative cooking energy in households through (i) promoting access to 270,000 households using kerosene to electricity lighting in the localities connected to the Benin Electrical Energy Company (SBEE) networks and (ii) saving wood energy by promoting access to (i) 140,000 new households improved fireplaces and (ii) 275,000 households with cooking equipment.Avoided emissions in the energy sector (Figure 5)Implementation of these measures will help to reduce cumulative GHG emissions in this sector compared to the business-as-usual scenario of 19.4 Mt E CO2 by 2030, or 28.6% of which 18.6% Conditional contribution. The cumulative emissions avoided are broken down as follows: (i) electricity production 63.4% of which 46.9% is conditional; (Ii) promotion of public lighting for kerosene savings 35.1% of which 17.5% is conditional; (iii) saving wood energy by promoting improved households 1.3% of which 1.1% conditional contribution.
