White Paper on Renewable Energy (2003)
  • White Paper on Renewable Energy (approved by
    Cabinet in Nov 2003) spells out Governments
    commitment to
  • Creating an enabling environment for a renewable
    energy industry in SA (both on and off-grid)
  • Develop a biofuels industry in SA
  • Supporting the implementation of specific
    technologies
  • Ensuring uptake through the adoption of a target
    for renewable energy

Renewable Energy Target
  • 10 000 GWh (0.8 Mtoe) renewable energy
    contribution to final energy consumption by 2013,
    to be produced mainly from biomass, wind, solar
    small-scale hydro. The renewable energy is to be
    utilised for power generation and non-electric
    technologies such as solar water heating and
    bio-fuels.
  • This is equivalent to replacing two (2x 660 MW)
    units of Eskoms combined coal fired power
    stations.
  • Or.
  • 1100 million litres of diesel (14) replaced with
    biodiesel.
  • This is in addition to the estimated existing
    8-9 renewable energy contribution mainly from
    fuelwood and waste. More efficient and
    sustainable use of fuelwood and conversion of the
    waste for power generation will add to the
    target.
  • TO BE REVIEWED MID TERM-2008

RE Strategy Mandate
White Paper on Renewable Energy (Nov 2003) Way
forward A Strategy on Renewable Energy will be
developed, which will translate the goals,
objectives and deliverables set out herein into a
practical implementation plan

9
Anticipated Benefits of Meeting the RE Target
  • A Macro-economic analysis of the RE target
    concluded that
  • The target is economically viable with government
    financial support and green funding (e.g.. CDM,
    green premium)
  • Achieving the target could add about 1667 MW new
    renewable energy capacity with, in comparison
    with coal-fired power stations a net impact on
    GDP as high as R1 071 million per year,
    additional government revenue of R299 million,
    additional income that would flow to low-income
    households as much as R128 million, just over 20
    000 new jobs would be created and water savings
    of 16.5 million kilolitres which translates into
    a R26.6 million saving could be realised.

10
Current Status of fiscal support to RE
  • Once off capital grants to commercial projects
    (all renewable energy, including biofuels)
  • R14.2 million over financial years 2005/6 to
    2007/8
  • Tax incentive for biodiesel
  • Currently 40 concession on general fuel levy
  • Accelerated depreciation on assets from 4 to 3
    years
  • Environmental fiscal reform policy
  • Under review by National Treasury but does not
    yet contain direct support for renewable energies
    (lost opportunity?)

11
Renewable Energy Strategy Development
  • Two distinct strategies have been identified as
    key to implementation of renewable energy
  • Large Grid-connected Renewable Energy Strategy
  • Biofuels Strategy Development

12
Large Grid-connected RE Technology Uptake
  • Strategy to support uptake of key grid-connected
    technologies such as
  • Sugarcane bagasse cogeneration
  • Small Scale hydro
  • Landfill gas power production
  • Solar water heating (energy efficiency)
  • Strategy proposes introduction of top-up feed-in
    tariff to bridge cost gap
  • Involves levy on electricity consumption (0.2
    0.3 c/kWh)
  • Phased out scheme that supports critical mass
    development of technology and skills
  • Strategy addresses market rules required to
    ensure free and equitable access to the national
    grid
  • Pilot project underway to study potential of
    voluntary market for renewable energy

13
Biofuels Strategy Development
  • Cabinet approved in December 2005 the
    establishment of a task team to develop biofuels
    strategy
  • Task team convened by Minister of Minerals and
    Energy
  • Representation from key departments involved in
    biofuels
  • Working Groups established to provide key input
    to strategy development led by relevant
    department
  • CEF (Pty) Ltd and IDC tasked to investigate
    investment in commercial projects that support
    strategy development
  • Strategy focuses on two major aspects
  • Job creation in the second economy
  • Development of an immediate market for biofuels
    in the formal economy
  • Timelines
  • Compilation of relevant literature and pricing
    model development June 2006
  • Presentation to Cabinet Lekgotla in July 2006
  • Submission to Cabinet in October 2006

14
Objects of the National Energy Bill
  • Draft Energy Bill (2006) makes provision for
  • the establishment of the National Energy Advisory
    Committee
  • the establishment of the National Energy Data
    Base and Information System
  • integrated energy planning function
  • renewable energy and energy efficiency matters
  • energy safety, health and environmental matters
  • energy access by households
  • international energy obligations
  • energy research

15
Energy Bill status
  • Draft Bill was circulated as per Cabinet request
    to key stakeholders for comment in 2004.
  • Substantive comments received
  • Bill Revised accordingly
  • Resubmit Bill to Cabinet in June/July 2006
  • Request approval to go out on public comment

16
Nuclear Framework Issues

18
International Cooperation
  • Key for any Development of Nuclear Infrastructure
    and Security of Nuclear Supply Agreements Under
    Negotiation
  • Argentina
  • Turkey
  • United States
  • South Korea
  • Peoples Republic of China

19
PBMR
  • Governance of the PBMR is through the Department
    of Public Enterprises
  • Success of the PBMR is key to ensuring security
    of Nuclear Energy Supply
  • The NNR is Awaiting the Safety Analysis Report
    which is due in January 2007
  • The PBMR Company still confident of Construction
    in 2007

20
Nuclear Non Proliferation
  • Strengthening of the Nuclear Non Proliferation
    Regime
  • Regulatory Framework is adequate
  • Improve Enforcement
  • Enhance Coordination with other Stakeholders
    Law Enforcement Agencies and the Customs and
    Border Control Commodity Identification
    Training to be provided

21
Skills Development
  • A number of Initiatives are Underway
  • WITS-IAEA Radiation Protection Course currently
    running Feb to July
  • MSc Programmes in Nuclear Engineering and Nuclear
    Technology at NorthWest University
  • About 60 Students enrolled for Nuclear Sector
    pipeline in Universities

22
THE ELECTRICITY SCENE
  • blackouts and brownouts continue
  • Used to be municipalities mainly
  • Now also Eskom transmission (Western Cape)
  • Recovery plan in place for Western Cape winter
    2006
  • Koeberg contingency plan in place
  • Rotor being installed and should be on-load
    within 2 weeks (Eskom)
  • Other Eskom initiatives involve LP Gas
    distribution to shift load
  • Improved regulatory environment
  • Electricity Regulation Act operational from July
    2006
  • New licensing framework
  • Quality of supply norms and standards
  • Penalty provisions in the event of breach of
    licence conditions

23
THE ELECTRICITY SCENE
  • Legislation still outstanding
  • EDI R Bill still has to go to Cabinet for
    approval
  • Will provide a framework for RED formation
  • Still a voluntary process Constitution
  • Dual regulation in terms of the Electricity
    Regulation Second Amendment Bill, dealing with
    Section 75 issues
  • Completes the regulatory and structural form of
    the distribution industry

24
REDS FORMATION PROCESS
  • Considers two options relating to formation of
    National RED as per Cabinet decision of September
    2006
  • Option 1 anchor using Eskom Distribution in 3
    phased approach
  • Option 2 new entity which is then populated by
    business transfers Considers pros and cons of
    each approach
  • Factors in comments from stakeholders
  • Keeps restructuring objectives in check
  • Provides for Cabinet Memo with recommendations
  • Resolution of policy/parking lot issues
  • Mandate for implementation

25
REDS FORMATION PROCESS
  • Information dissemination
  • After Cabinet decision is finalized
  • Provincial energy forums
  • NEDLAC
  • Directly with municipalities as requested
  • Communication strategy

26
ELECTRIFICATION
  • Challenges
  • Universal access
  • Funding need extra R1 billion per annum
  • Skills capacity related to accelerated program
    for 2012
  • Also opportunity for job creation Expanded
    Public Works

27
NEW GENERATION CAPACITY
  • Recall that Cabinet decision requires
  • Eskom to do 70 of new generation
  • Independent Power Producers (IPP) will do 30
  • Progress Regarding IPP project
  • Five companies pre-qualified to bid
  • Tender issued in March 2006
  • Tender closes September 2006
  • Commissioning expected before winter 2009
  • New generation to be rolled out on basis of
    investment plan below
  • Between Eskom and IPPs
