|a The Upper Rioni Pilot Watershed analysis was produced within the framework of the Integrated
Natural Resources Management in Watersheds of Georgia (INRMW) Program. It provides energy
analysis for Upper Rioni Pilot Watershed Area, covering the Ambrolauri and Oni municipalities, as
selected by the INRMW programin 2011. This analysis is the first one of a series of four, dealing
with an upstream and downstream watershed ares for both the Rioni and Alazani rivers.
The Sustainable Development and Policy (SDAP) Center conducted this analysis under the contract
signed with Winrock International Institute for Agricultural Development (Prime Contract # AID-
114-LA-10-00004 INRMW, Subcontract # 6331-11-01) within Activity 2: Detailed Assessments and
Community Stakeholder Engagement.
The goal of the energy component of the GLOWS INRMW program is to empower the local
government officials with the management opportunities for improving the watershed energy
consumption, distribution and resource extraction in a sustainable manner. To fulfill this task the
first stage of the project’s energy component required basic energy statistics and detailed energy
analysis of the pilot watersheds. For this reason a comprehensive background energy analysis was
conducted for four pilot watersheds based on results of energy data collected from surveys.
The Watershed Energy Analysis goals are as follows:
Assess local energy resources within 4 pilot watershed areas of Alazani and Rioni River
Basins (with a special emphasis on renewable resources - RE);
Determine current energy consumption and production patterns;
Identify opportunities to reduce energy consumption through the adoption of energyefficiency
(EE) investments and practices.
The outputs of the Watershed Energy Analysis will form the basis for Energy Passports of
municipalities within the Watersheds (detailed description of energy passports and the
methodology to develop them are given in Annex 1). Although such an analytical document as
presented here may be used independently, it will provide an instantaneous snapshot of the
current energy situation. The Energy Passport can be systematically updated with new data inputs
in the future.
Energy planning for a geographical area provides an opportunity for reorganizing the energy
consumption and distribution trends so that they can be managed more efficiently in the future.
To reach this goal it was envisioned to develop a software energy planning tool that is not a model
of any particular energy system, but rather an instrument that can be used to create models of
different energy systems, called in this project “Energy Passports”, where each requires its own
unique data structures. It is expected that energy planning software tool will be used for
forecasting energy balances and development of the energy action plans for each watershed. |
