Renewables Readiness Assessment Country Case Study: Senegal

The document describes the application of the Renewables Readiness Assessment (RRA) methodology, developed by the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD) and the International Renewable Agency (IRENA), in a pilot study conducted in Senegal at the end of 2011. The RRA is designed to identify conditions for renewable energy deployment and suggest actions for improvement across various energy needs, including transport, heat, electricity, and motive power.

• The Renewables Readiness Assessment (RRA) methodology, created by IISD and IRENA, is designed to help countries evaluate their readiness for renewable energy deployment by identifying existing conditions and potential improvements.
• The RRA framework is flexible, covering various energy needs such as electricity, heat, transport, and motive power, utilizing renewable energy sources as determined by the specific country.
• The RRA methodology underwent pilot testing at the end of 2011 in two specific countries: Senegal and Mozambique.
