  5. High Level Budget Overview

  6. INEP Funding History and performance • 2007-2009 – DoE not happy with EMM performance • Funded projects not completed on time • Lack of communication, process alignment and failure to report • 2009/10 – DoE withdrew funding • Intervention by other Metro’s and AMEU • Also EMM introduced new faces to electrification section • Improved communication, reporting and processes • 2010/11 – DoE made aware of existing EMM backlog • All funded projects successfully completed • More funding made available to address the huge backlog 6

  7. CURRENT PROJECT – 2011/12 More than 80% connections report by end Feb

  8. 2012/13 Proposed Projects The projects have been submitted to DoE and site inspection is schedules

  9. 2013/14 Applications 20 000 connections/annum will help reduce the backlog

  10. Challenges – Municipal Level • Finance department can only allow DORA approved projects to be initiated for implementation • The growing backlog of formal townships without access to electricity due to high rate of formalisation • The growing backlog of informal settlements due to high rate of urbanisation • The growing backlog of infrastructure maintenance and upgrading due to aging networks and demand • Illegal connections causing network failures due to overloading • High levels of theft and damage to infrastructure put pressure on already stretched resources

  11. Challenges – DoE Level • Bare minimum specification compromising the quality of service • Designs for pure overhead systems vs. underground & high-breed systems • 20Apms supply vs. 40/60Amps supply • Revenue enhancement initiatives e.g. split metering, protective boxes, etc. • Policy constraints e.g. 80% occupation, relocation of services • Electrification of informal settlement • Funding levels, both cost/conn and INEP allocation • Reporting requirements i.e. MM Signature, Social Indexes • Short notice for approved projects on DORA

  12. Conclusion • EMM had performance challenges on the INEP • Indication are that performance on INEP is improving • Good communication and reporting are key for the success of the municipality on the INEP • The municipality is faced with a huge backlog and requires special intervention from DoE • EMM is committed to work closely with DoE in eradicating the electrification backlog.
