2. E-Soko 2.0 number of users 3. Number of local innovations in the agriculture sector PSD Project 8: SMART Electricity Grid and Energy Market Design Purpose: To consolidate Rwanda’s energy sources in order to enable sustainable energy generation, transmission and distribution Description: A smart grid is an electricity network that utilizes digital technology to ensure consistent power supply. This is a reliable, cost-effective and integrated energy supply system that facilitates fault identification, demand management and diversified energy generation sources. Developing a local smart grid will provide an interconnection standard for the East African Power Pool (EAPP) that can accommodate future technologies and transit from current legacy systems. Activities: 1. Conduct feasibility study 2. Develop blueprint for Smart Grid 3. Conduct awareness campaign 4. Piloting the project for buildings 5. Piloting the project for decentralized systems (off grid) 6. Piloting the project for Micro grid with one centre 7. Piloting the project for energy billing system Expected Outcome: 1. Reduced power shortages and improved fault identification over the grid 2. Increased quality of service both in demand management and energy supply 3. Innovative solutions for future energy mix 4. Increased investments in green energy 5. Establish data and broadband transmission over the grid 6. Electrical market and asset optimization 7. Efficient network operation Outcome Indicators: 1. 30% of Rwandan households aware of smart-grid induced energy efficiency by 2013 2. 10 Megawatt produced in the SMART Grid 3. Only 0.5 Megawatt loss in the Grid PSD Project 9: Establish a Commodity and Securities Platform Purpose: To enable efficient and effective online trading of both commodities and securities Description: A commodity-trading platform is an online tool where products are commoditized and traded in an organized and transparent trading environment. This involves the trading of such instruments as warehousing receipts. The warehousing receipts are traded as securities representing ownership of goods or commodities that are stored in a known warehouse.
