Background |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Saudi Arabia, under the prudent leadership of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman Ibn Abdulaziz, has launched the Saudi Vision 2030, which seeks to achieve a diversified, prosperous economy. In achieving this vision, it is expected that all ministries and Government bodies would strive for organizational excellence, improving their services, and building high-performing manpower. The electricity sector in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is witnessing a major transformation with a number of ongoing initiatives which aim to increase the efficiency of the sector and the added value, at a time when the energy mix is being diversified in the country. According to the general policies of the Ministry of Energy (MoE) and the tasks entrusted to it, the Deputyship of Electricity Affairs (DoEA) seeks to provide a comprehensive and efficient electrical service -not less than the best global practices-, achieve sustainability, participate in the preparation of policies and supervision of their implementation to raise the quality of electrical service, provide the necessary electrical safety conditions within the electrical system in the Kingdom, propose policies and strategies for achieving the sustainability of electric energy and follow up their implementation in coordination with the relevant entities. Therefore, the ministry needs to obtain technical and administrative support in order to contribute to the implementation of national priority initiatives and programs to achieve the vision and objectives of the Ministry within the vision of KSA 2030 and the National Transformation Program 2020, with the aim of upgrading electrical services. The KSA overall ‘umbrella’ project, which is supported by the United Nations Development Program (UNDP), aims to provide technical and advisory support to Deputyship to improve its efficiency in implementing its tasks, initiatives, and plans and overseeing the achievement of its future strategic objectives. "As per UNDP’s new Strategic Plan 2022-2025, the objective of UNDP is increasing energy access for those furthest behind. By speeding up investment in distributed renewable energy solutions, especially for those hardest to reach and in crisis contexts, it aims to increase access to clean and affordable energy for 500 million people." The project will achieve this goal through a six-pronged strategy: (1) prepare and develop policies, strategies, and plans related to the electricity sector, and support their implementation, (2) prepare and conduct the technical studies and consultations related to the electricity sector, (3) provide advisory services to support the implementation of awareness campaigns on the Deputyship's functions, (4) provide the administrative and technical support, (5) support the cooperation with national and international entities and authorities, (6) strengthen the capacity of the Deputyship. The six outputs are interlinked and will synergize with each other. Overall, the project will complement and accelerate efforts of Saudi Arabia to achieve its goals in Vision 2030, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and Paris Agreement on climate change. The Organizational Development TA component (‘sub-project’) of the above project will support the MOE in four areas to:
