Presentation Transcript

  1. Background • The electrification programme was started by Eskom during the late 1980’s • It was further refined by the National Electrification Forum (NELF) during the early 1990’s. • Access to electricity for households in RSA was approximately 30%. • During this period the electrification programme was funded through the National Electricity Regulator (NER)

  2. Background Cont. • After 1994 and through the government’s initiative of RDP (Reconstruction and Development Programme), electrification programme was endorsed. • During 2001 the government took responsibility for funding electrification programme. • The funds are made available from the fiscas • President’s State of Nation Address (universal access in RSA by 2012)

  3. MANDATE OF INEP • To manage the electrification planning, funding and implementation process, with the aim of addressing electrification backlog so as to reach universal access by 2012. • Our Focus areas • Managing the electrification planning process • Managing the electrification funding allocation • process • Managing the electrification implementation process • Monitor the INEP in line with the Energy white paper, • the Division ofRevenue Act (DoRA, Public • Finance Management Act (PFMA),ER Act, OHS Act • etc.

  8. Electricity value chain GENERATION Electricity is Generated by burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil, or natural gas), use of nuclear technology and hydro capability 2 TRANSMISSION SUBSTATIONS MUNICIPALITIES 1 TRANSMISSION LINES 3 TRANSMISSION (400/275 kV) High Voltage electricity is carried between Generation and required Distribution through Transmission networks (or Transmission grids) DISTRIBUTION LINES POWER STATIONS DISTRIBUTION (132/33 kV) The distribution networks collect ‘stepped down’ electricity from the transmission networks and deliver it to Redistributors /End Users DISTRIBUTION SUBSTATIONS The voltage levels of electricity are further transformed to meet Distribution requirements SERVICE CONNECTION RETICULATION HV LINE (11 & 22kV) Customer consumption is measured at the point of supply in KWh. This information is used to measure and bill consumption levels utilised/sold RETICULATION LV LINE (380/220V)

  9. Electrification Plan (Actual data)

  10. Electrification Projected Trend

  11. CHALLENGES • Challenges in the Electricity industry in South Africa • Ageing electricity infrastructure • Minimum or no investment by respective distributors (municipalities) in the operation and maintenance of the electricity infrastructure to date, hence lack of maintenance. • Increased blackouts and brownouts in the country, concern for quality and security of supply for the 2010 FIFA World cup • Limited or lack of adequate skills at local government level for operation and maintenance electricity infrastructure.

  12. Electrification outputs Project life cycle Pre-Engineering and Detailed design Household connection 80 % • Construction for backbone infrastructure • Poles • Cables MV and LV 15% 5% Start Finish

  14. Projected outputs for MTEF

  15. DoRA FRAMEWORK

  16. Comments (current) • Current framework support the projected outputs • Connections for households, schools and clinics • Building of bulk infrastructure • Assist in monitoring performance • Reallocate funding were is required (if necessary)

  17. Comments (future) • Have a schedule that allows funding of DSM and Energy Efficiency initiatives for municipalities • Framework outputs • MW shifted through the programme • Assist in monitoring performance • Process to be initiated with National Treasury

  18. INSTITUTIONAL AND LEGISLATIVE FRAMEWORK • Electricity Regulation Act (Act. No 4 of 2006) completed, will be used to: • Monitor compliance to the quality of supply regulations (to be completed by the end of October 2006. • Enforce penalties to distributors for non-compliance • Improve integration during planning process with municipal IDP. • Eskom progress report to municipalities as per DoRa requirement
