The primary objective of this project is to establish a reliable point of reference for the existing state of energy use in Bartica from which the data generated will be used for future measurements and predictions for evidence-based decision making and pursuance of projects and programs.

The secondary objectives list below are the first tier interventions that are expected to stimulate and expedite a comprehensive and robust renewable energy uptake program in the New Bartica Township. These are adumbrated as:

• The Sensitization and Awareness of the Bartician Populace. This entails preparation of information materials, including brochures, posters, video documentary, PSAs, to share information on the benefits of energy conservation. The materials produced will also document various measures that can be implemented from low-cost/no-cost to high capital investment. The materials designed will also be aligned in keeping with the objectives of Green Economy pathway, and more specifically, what this project will be doing and is aiming to achieve in pursuit of the green ethos.
• Conducting household Baseline Study of The Bartica Community: This will entail collecting critical household data on Bartica. This data should allow the Municipal Government to identify inter alia, energy consumption behavior, appliance usage, time of use, average cost to household of energy consumed, household incomes, and waste generated. In short, a full energy audit of the community will be conducted. This is to be accompanied by a public awareness campaign on household energy efficiency applications and usage, which should include information on appliances energy consumption so that the household can be sensitive to their consumption based on hard evidence.
• Complete an Energy Audit of public institutions, facilities and street lighting in Bartica, inclusive of energy efficient solutions that reduces public institutions carbon footprint.
  This would be accompanied by energy reduction target setting, an actionable plan of work to achieve such targets, and a budget of indicative cost to achieve the desired results.
• Energy Efficiency Pilot implemented with government agency. The focus here is to adopt recommended measures for energy efficiency as a pilot retrofit with 1-2 government agencies and document the process and benefits of adopting energy efficiency measures within the agencies.
• Transportation Sector energy audit. – This will encompass all major areas of energy consumption/ carbon footprint in the local (Bartica) transport sector. The energy audit/study will investigate and analyze how motorized transport (including river transport) in Bartica use energy, calculate the associated carbon footprint, identify the sources of inefficiency, and developed recommendations (to include land use and transport planning disciplines) on how to address energy savings opportunities in this sector.
