  1. Energy situation & Energy policies in South Africa Presented by: Thembani Bukula

  2. Current Energy situation • 42 000MW installed • 95% coal thermal • 2% nuclear • 1% renewable (hydro and wind (5MW) • 2% OCGT (diesel and gas) • Maximum demand – 36 243MW (June 2009) • Reserve Margin less than 10% (target 19%) • 2 Coal fired power station (10 000MW) under construction World Future Council - Addis Ababa - 10 October 2009

  3. South African legislative structure POLICY LAW REGULATIONS RULES GOVERNANCE Ministries Regulator World Future Council - Addis Ababa - 10 October 2009

  4. Policies & Legislation • Renewable Energy Policy, 2003 • 10 000GWh by 2013 (approx 1140MW Installed at 95% load factor) • All RE projects anticipated to come from IPP’s • Energy Efficiency & Demand Side Management • Legislation limited • Electricity Regulation Act, 2006 • Non-discriminatory grid access • Full cost recovery & reasonable return tariff structures World Future Council - Addis Ababa - 10 October 2009

  5. RE Feed-in-Tariffs • REFIT phase 1 - March 2009 • Wind, CSP (parabolic), Landfill gas & Small scale hydro • REFIT phase 2 - October 2009 • Biomass, Biogas, Photo-Voltaic, CPV, CSP(tower) • Standardised Power Purchase Agreements – November 2009 World Future Council - Addis Ababa - 10 October 2009

  6. REFIT Program • Selection criteria – March 2010 • Network integration and stabilisation • Financing and commissioning • Current Grid capability • 5600MW uptake • Connection funded by IPP allowed • 10 Licence applications • Wind (800MW), Landfill gas (10MW), Biomass (28MW) World Future Council - Addis Ababa - 10 October 2009

  7. REFIT Program • Preferred technologies and capacity • Wind 3000MW up to 4000MW • Solar 200MW • Landfill gas 50MW • Small scale Hydro 75MW • Biomass 60MW • Least cost build up & affordability World Future Council - Addis Ababa - 10 October 2009
