Electricity Sub-programme • Goal: • To develop capacity (human and data) to manage and restructure the electricity sector in support of a transparent, competitive and sustainable electricity industry • Purpose: • The implementation of concrete interventions towards capacity-building for effective governance and regulation, equitable market liberalisation and sustainable economic growth and poverty alleviation. • Outputs: • Promulgated Electricity Pricing Policy (EPP). First used in MYPD2 process. • Quality of Supply Report • Load-flow model for WC2010 and report • Draft IPP Framework Report • Training (e.g. regulatory training as part of ELRI)
Hydrocarbons Sub-programme • Goal: • To develop capacity (human and data) to manage and restructure the hydrocarbons sector in support of a transparent, competitive and sustainable hydrocarbons industry • Purpose: • The implementation of concrete interventions towards capacity-building for effective governance and regulation, equitable market liberalisation and sustainable economic growth and poverty alleviation. • Outputs: • Strategic Stocks Study • Petroleum Licensing System • Regulatory Accounts and Report • Draft Regulatory Accounting Models for petroleum pricing • Training (e.g. financial analysis as part of petroleum licensing process; MEETI industry-specific training)
Energy Regulation Sub-programme • Goal: • To research and capacitate the framework and mechanisms for regulation of the energy sector • Purpose: • The implementation of concrete interventions towards the development of the policy framework and capacity for sustainable regulation of the electricity sector. • Outputs: • Licensing Information System (LIS) operational at targeted municipalities • Electricity Regulators Initiative (ELRI) Workshop • Staff Training Workshop
Upstream Petroleum Sub-programme • Goal: • Transformation of the core functions of the Agency under the MPRDA, improve capacity to evaluate resources. • Purpose: • To facilitate a smooth transformation of the core functions of the Agency under the MPRDA, and facilitate the completion of South Africa’s Extended Continental Shelf Claim. • Outputs: • Institutional Capacity Review/Training Needs Analysis • Development and implementation of training programme • Shelf-claim filed
