A number of radio dramas, TV series (eTV) and other SABC channels as well as Billboards and newspaper adverts were done.
PROGRAMME 1: Administration (Continued) Sub Programme: Corporate Services A total of 10 Public Participation Programmes (PPP) were conducted during the fiscal period under review as per Cabinet pronouncement. The Department has partnered with SOEs such Eskom, Nersa, NNR, PetroSA, EDIH and Necsa on these public participations These PPPs have proved to be a successful platform to engage civil societies across all government spheres
PROGRAMME 2 Hydrocarbons and Energy Planning
PROGRAMME 2: Hydrocarbons and Energy Planning Purpose: Undertake integrated energy planning to promote the sustainable use of energy resources. Develop appropriate policies, implement regulations and monitor compliance within the hydrocarbons sector. Hydrocarbons develops policy and regulations to manage petroleum, coal, and natural gas The Petroleum Controller is currently included under this sub-programme and is responsible for the implementation of the Petroleum Product Amendments Act (2003). Energy Planningpromotes the sustainable use of energy resources through integrated energy planning
PROGRAMME 2: Hydrocarbons and Energy Planning (Continued) Objectives and measures Ensure sustainable energy supply by developing the Integrated Energy Planning Strategy by September 2010. Developing the national strategic fuel stocks policy by March 2011. Provide oversight over the construction of the National Multipurpose Petroleum Pipeline. Encourage research and development for energy related technologies with a key focus on energy efficiency and mitigating greenhouse gases by establishing the South African National Energy Development Institute (SANEDI) by March 2011. (R &D –focus on energy efficiency and mitigating greenhouse gasses)
PROGRAMME 2: Hydrocarbons and Energy Planning (Continued) Objectives and measures Strengthen the regulatory framework in the petroleum products industry by implementing the regulatory accounting system before March 2011. Improve the countrywide availability of petroleum products by licensing retail, manufacturing and wholesale operators within 90 days of receiving confirmation of the publication of licensee applications. Facilitate the participation of historically disadvantaged individuals in the petroleum sector by licensing 25 per cent of all licence applications by historically disadvantaged individuals in each year of the MTEF period
PROGRAMME 2: Hydrocarbons and Energy Planning (Continued) Progress Achieved A draft LPG Strategy has been developed – The Department will soon publish a Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) strategy in a bid to encourage greater use of LPG in place of electricity, which could also help delay the need for new electricity generation capacity. Currently 5% of South Africans use LPG and the intention is to target at least one million additional users over the next five years. Clean Fuels 2 – Discussion document on fuel specifications and standards –Published 08 March 2011 for comment SANEDI was established during the year - to promote the diversification of energy supply and ensure emerging energy technologies are incubated and commercialized, as well as to ensure appropriate human capital is developed, to support new energy-related industries.
PROGRAMME 2: Hydrocarbons and Energy Planning (Continued) Progress Achieved Other progress included an infrastructure database report containing maps, and further improvements to the energy statistics database. Progress Partially Achieved CSIR has been contracted to develop the modelling system for the IEP and work on this has commenced. Availability of relevant data at the required level of detail for energy modelling purposes remains a key concern, which is difficult to address in the short term. A draft Strategic Stocks Policy has been developed and associated regulations drafted. A Cabinet Memorandum has also been prepared to seek approval for publication and public comment. The consultation process, particularly with National Treasury took longer than expected. However, this was necessary due to the concurrence required for the use of public funds for the construction of storage tanks by Government
PROGRAMME 2: Hydrocarbons and Energy Planning (Continued) Progress Partially Achieved The Integrated Energy Plan was expected to be published for comments by 31 March 2011. Further revisions had been made to the Plausible Futures as well as to the IEP methodology within the IEPS. Significant work has been done in developing the IEP, with the IEP methodology, the Plausible Futures, and the Integrated Energy Planning Strategy documents having being finalized. However, the Integrated Energy Planning Strategy was not approved by Cabinet for publication as was originally envisaged. Against the annual target of establishing two Integrated Energy Centres (IeCs), one had been established in Qunu within the financial year, while another at Mbizana scheduled for completion by May 2011. A comprehensive review of the Liquid Fuels Charter also meant the postponement of the Petroleum Products Amendment Act into the next financial year since the Charter is currently appended to the Act.
PROGRAMME 2: Hydrocarbons and Energy Planning (Continued) Progress Partially Achieved License inspections - a target of 3 660 was planned for the year, and 2 460 inspections were conducted. Insufficient budget and lack of vehicles for inspectors in the Northern Cape and Free State were some of the constraints. A total of 360 petroleum licensing applications out of 600 lodged were processed within ninety days (60%). Other partial progress achieved concerned the development of data collection regulations for which three Cabinet Ministers had provided comments which had been incorporated into the regulations for final gazetting. Original timeframes were extended due to the requirements of State Law Advisors for concurrence by other Cabinet Ministers before gazetting the regulations. The final report on the Regulatory Accounting System has been submitted internally, but execution awaited a departmental implementation plan, as well as audited 2009 data from the industry
PROGRAMME 2: Hydrocarbons and Energy Planning (Continued) Progress Not Achieved Although the entire R1.5 billion was transferred by DoE to Transnet for the construction of the Multi-Products Pipeline from Durban to Gauteng in terms of the Grant Funding Agreement, installation of the 24-inch trunkline has been delayed pending a workable funding mechanism.
PROGRAMME 3 Electricity, Nuclear and Clean Energy
PROGRAMME 3: Electricity, Nuclear and Clean Energy Purpose:Provide the policy and regulatory framework for the electricity, nuclear and clean energy sectors in a manner that ensures energy security, universal access to electricity, diversification of primary energy sources and the promotion of clean and efficient technologies The Electricity Chief Directorate develops, implements and monitors electricity policy and programmes.
