registered with the CDM in August 2005. The project will<br />

generate 130,000 tonnes of credits over a 21-year crediting<br />

lifetime. The first 10,000 tonnes were sold to the United Kingdom<br />

to offset the G8 summit at Gleneagles.<br />

The results have been impressive, but the project currently<br />

lacks a viable financing mechanism to enable further replication.<br />

Despite the carbon income, Kuyasa is financed predominantly<br />

by one-off government grant funding. In response to<br />

this challenge the Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency<br />

Partnership (REEEP), working with SouthSouthNorth, has<br />

funded a project to develop a sustainable financing model to<br />

enable replication of similar projects in the housing sector of<br />

South Africa.<br />

* Editor’s note: Suppressed demand refers to an inadequate state of access<br />

to basic services because of income or infrastructure constraints, and thus<br />

does not show real demand for these services by poor households.<br />
