2The Comoros archipelago, located in the northern part of theMozambique Channel between Madagascar and East Africa iscomprised of four islands, high Comoros (Ngazidja) Moheli(Mwali), Anjouan (Ndzouani and Mayotte (Maoré). These islands ofrecent volcanic origin have never been in contact with any otherland mass and are isolated from each other by deep pits underwater,which explains the high levels of endemism and specific underspecific observed there . they arose at different times, Mayotte is theoldest (3 to 4 million years on) and big recent (10 000 to 13 000years) Comoros, which each distinct biophysical characteristics
confers.
3The energy situation in the Comoros is characterized by the useof wood and petroleum products. Petroleum products are used asfuel in the transport transformed into electricity. Transport
accounts for about 60% of petroleum products, services andindustrial residential share the other party. The production ofelectricity in the Comoros is essentially thermal (diesel), with theexception of three hydro, including three at the island of Anjouan(610 kW) and six at the island of Moheli (838KW). While theComorian basement contains no known oilfield and petroleum
products are imported. The installed capacity in the three islandsof the Comoros is in the order of 26 MW for a 11 MW peak.

Three (3) sub-sectoral targets are selected for the Energy Management asfollows
Promote actions to control energy and energy efficiency;;
Provide a framework for effective and sustainable management ofenergy efficiency;;
Create and update an information bank and reliable energy system
data;
These objectives are broken down into sub-sectoral seven (7) sub-sector
measures, namely:
1. Establishment of an Energy Information System;
2. Monitoring and modeling the evolution of the application anddevelopment of differentiated scenarios

73. Establishing a protocol for communication and exchange ofinformation and data between national and island to monitor theimplementation of the measures recommended in the framework of
the implementation of various policies and strategies the field ofenvironment and Forestry
4. Development of an appropriate regulatory and legal framework for therational use of energy

85. Establishment and implementation of a program of outreach andeducation aimed at changing the behavior of users and operators in
the energy sector
6. Integration of energy issues within the competence of other sectors:
transport, construction, agriculture ...
7. Establishment of a Designated National Authority for CDM (Clean
Development Mechanism) and implementation procedures

10Electricity demand in terms of energy and capacity has increased in thepast much faster than GDP and population of the Comoros: whileGDP(Gross Domestic Product) grew by 2% per year on averageand the population of 2.1 % per year, electricity consumption increased
by 8% per year in Grande Comoros and Moheli and 13% per year inAnjouan.

11Demand projections MAMWE 2012-2025

Demand projections EDA 2012-2025

The electricity demand for MAMWE increase of 5.1% per year andreach 147 GWh in 2025. For EDA, the expected growth of 5.3% andreach 45 GWh in 2025.

setting very fast service groups provided by China..
mobilize funding to realize the urgent care groups and associatedfacilities.
Follow the project a central Photovoltaic signed with the Chinese for
the Grande Comoros.
Follow Project Central HFO which was signed with the Indians update hydrological studies and determine the potential
attainable output (ANJOUAN and MOHELI).
realize and validate a comparative study on the role of energy

14renewable (excluding hydro) and interconnect solutions
establish a network manager to the year 2025 for each scheme
associated islands .
further exploration of the potential of geothermal
a study comparing production solutions for diesel and heavy fuel oilfor Grande Comoros.

Strategy Paper for Growth and Poverty Reduction sets ambitious targets
for access to energy and electricity production. the numbers do not seemto be based on explicit data. In fact, no reliable data is available appears
on both the supply of energy: oil in terms of volumes and prices, local
energies in terms of availability and hydro and solar operating rate(biomass, wind, geothermal, electricity) the application: industry data(agriculture, industry, transport, residential and tertiary). There is noenergy balance (Supply and Demand) nor forecast the short, medium orlong term. causing a shift that could lead to demonization.

Energy is a key issue of sustainable development, as it sits at theinterface of these three pillars of economic development, socialdevelopment and environmental protection (having a direct link withgreenhouse gas greenhouse effect and climate change). Moreover, thestrong energy dependence of these islands to imported fossil fuels makes
them very vulnerable in terms of economic development, given theweight of these imports on the trade balance and the state budget. It's isan ideal opportunity for us to get the image of Japanese engineering andthus a model for establishing a financially viable and safe project.
