Policies and StrategiesFossil Fuels EHS Concerns(a) adoption of low sulphur fuels and clean vehicles programs within thetimelines agreed by Ministers at the Better Air Quality RegionalMeetings. This means AFRI-2 or better immediately and AFRI-4 orbetter by 2020.(b) Setting up and/or revamping vehicle emission inspection andmaintenance programs for existing vehicle fleets.Short Term2014-2017Implementation PlanMedium Term2014-20223. Ban the importation of two stroke motorcycles. 4. Continuously update and enforce the specifications standards for supplyof clean fuels.5. Ensure that all energy generation plants adhere to emission standardsand further employ more efficient technologies. The Government shallensure dissemination of standards, provide public sensitization ondangers of vehicle emissions and promote choice towards clean fuels andvehicles, public transport and non-motorized transport.6. Provide incentives for acquisition of fuel efficient technologies in motorvehicles.7. Put in place mechanisms for elimination of kerosene as an energy sourcein households by 2022.Long Term2014-2030 6.7.4.3 Renewable EnergyPolicies and StrategiesRenewable Energy EHS Concerns1. Actively support and promote the uptake of renewable energytechnologies.Short Term2014-2017Implementation PlanMedium Term2014-20222. Ensure sustainable production and use of wood fuel resources. 3. The Government shall ensure promotion of modern productiontechnologies, introduce a regulatory framework for wood fuel and supportcommercial woodlots.4. The Government shall support the national tree cover policy aimed atincreasing the national tree cover to 10% and above.Long Term2014-2030 5. Promote the development, commercialisation and widespread utilisation ofrenewable energy technologies. In addition, the price of charcoal andwood should also reflect the cost of replenishing raw materials.106 NATIONAL ENERGY POLICY FINAL DRAFT NOVEMBER 2013
6.7.4.4 Nuclear ElectricityPolicies and StrategiesNuclear Electricity EHS ConcernsEnsure compliance with international standards for plant siting constructionoperation and decommissioning and waste management to ensure proactivepreventive approach to managing the environment health and safety risks.Short Term2014-2017Implementation PlanMedium Term Long Term2014-2022 2014-20306.7.5 Conservation of Catchment AreasPolicies and StrategiesConservation of Catchment Areas1. Support conservation initiatives and ensure proper coordination of allrelevant statutory authorities.2. Ensure effective management of the catchment areas to safeguard boththe installed capacity and potential power generation sites.3. Identify and map out water catchment areas boundaries and gazettethem as protected areas.4. Support hydro power generators in catchment area conservationinitiatives through both fiscal and other mechanisms.Short Term2014-2017Implementation PlanMedium Term2014-2022Long Term2014-20306.7.6 Disaster Prevention and ManagementPolicies and StrategiesDisaster Prevention and Management1. Using climate, weather information and data, the maximisation of safetyfactor for hydro dams, power stations, geothermal power stations, fuel oilsdepots, and petroleum production areas should be taken on board in allfuture developments. This is especially so in areas with high risk and/orhigh hazard rating.2. The following broad policy measures will be undertaken by all the energysector entities:(a) Incorporation of disaster preparedness and mitigation into energypolicy and management planning.(b) Establishment of early warning systems in all energy production anddelivery systems and networks.3. Provide for the:(a) Creation of a Disaster Response Unit at the Ministry responsible forEnergy. This unit will coordinate with the National DisasterOperations Centre (NDOC) when such situations arise in the energysector.Short Term2014-2017Implementation PlanMedium Term2014-2022Long Term2014-2030107 6.0 – LAND, ENVIRONMENT, HEALTH AND SAFETY
