  4. In November 2010 the department’s management came together for its annual strategic planning. • During this process we came out with seven strategic objective which are aligned to government’s 12 outcomes as well as take into account the new government outcome based planning approach. • Our strategic plan and annual performance plan were based on several assumptions that included the availability of financial and HR resources. • As the Department of Energy, we are committed to the provision of an enabling platform for other sectors to speed up economic growth and transformation, create decent jobs and sustainable livelihood INTRODUCTION

  5. During the year under review, the Department operated within an environment where: • The credibility in South Africa Energy policy trajectory was enhanced by the IPPs procurement process that we painstakingly championed, which I must add has received acclaim far and wide. • We now need to ensure that we collectively give it the final push. • On the geopolitical front, we had to contend and develop a response plan to the sanctions by the US and EU on the Islamic Republic of Iran. • The vulnerability of the refining sector was exposed with a number of refinery shutdowns which diverted some of our attention into monitoring contingency plan.
