WHITE PAPER ON RENEWABLE ENERGY

White Paper on Renewable Energy (approved by Cabinet in Nov 2003) spells out Government’s 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.

7

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 and 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 Eskom’s 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 feulwood and waste. More efficient and sustainable use of fuelwood and conversion of waste for power generation will add to the target.

8

RENEWABLE ENERGY 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 STRATEGY

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 of GDP as high as R1 071m per year, additional government revenue of R299m, additional income that would flow to low-income households as much as R128m, just over 20 000 new jobs would be created and water savings of 16.5m kilolitres which translates into R26.6m saving.

10

CURRENT STATUS OF FISCAL SUPPORT OF RE

Once off capital grants to commercial projects (all renewable energy, including biofuels)

R14.2 m 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 the 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

13

LARGE GRID-CONNECTED RE TECHNOLOGY UPTAKE (cont)

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.

14

BIOFUELS STRATEGY DEVELOPMENT

Cabinet approved in December 2005 the establishment of a task team to develop biofuels strategy

- Task team convened by the 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

15

BIOFUELS STRATEGY DEVELOPMENT (cont)

Timelines:

- Compilation of relevant literature and pricing model development – June 2006

- Presentation to Cabinet Lekgotla in July 2006

- Submission to Cabinet in October 2006.

16

OBJECTS OF THE NATIONAL ENERGY BILL

Draft Energy Bill (2006) makes provision for:

- establishment of the National Energy Advisory Committee

- 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

17

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 for public comment

18

NUCLEAR FRAMEWORK ISSUES

Continue training of personnel

- Internship Programme at DME and Associated Institutions

- Monitor enrolment in universities

- Host training programmes by the IAEA including WITS RP course for the African region.

19

NUCLEAR POLICY ISSUES

Development of a Nuclear Energy Policy

Review the Governance Framework

20

INTERNATIONAL CO-OPERATION

Key for any Development of Nuclear Infrastructure and Security of Nuclear Supply.

Agreements under negotiation:

- Argentina

- Turkey

- United States

- South Korea

21

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 due January 2007

The PBMR Company still confident of Construction in 2007.

22

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

- Acquire new analytical tools.

23

SKILLS DEVELOPMENT

A number of initiatives are underway:

- WITS-International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Radiation Protection Course currently running Feb to July

- MSc Programmes in Nuclear Engineering and Nuclear Technology at North West University

- Around 60 students enrolled for Nuclear Sector pipeline in universities.

24

THE ELECTRICITY SCENE

“Blackouts” and “brownouts”

- Used to be mainly with municipalities

- Now also Eskom transmission (Western Cape)

Recovery plan in place for Western Cape winter of 2006

- Koeberg contingency plan in place

- Rotor installed and loaded (Eskom)

- Other Eskom initiatives involve LP Gas distribution to shift load

Improve 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

25

THE ELECTRICITY SCENE (cont)

Legislation still outstanding:

- EDI Restructuring 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 Sec 75 issues

- Completes the regulatory and structural form of the distribution industry.

26

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 .

- Factors in comments from stakeholders

- Keeps restructuring objectives in check

- Provides for Cabinet Memo with recommendations

Resolution of policy/parking lot issue

Mandate for implementation

27

REDS FORMATION PROCESS (cont)

Information dissemination

After Cabinet decision is finalised.

- Provincial energy forums

- NEDLAC

- Directly with municipalities as requested

- Communication strategy

28

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

29

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 will be rolled out on basis of investment plan below between Eskom and IPPs.

This is an illustration of how a 30% non-Eskom ownership of New Build capacity could be attained and maintained. Other permutations are possible depending on investor appetite, and the viability of their proposals.
