The Department had a budget of R1.24 billion available for its operations during the reporting period • Total spending during this period was a total of R907.45 million or 73.4% which resulted in a budget under-spend of R328.94 million or 26.6% attributable to the following: • Transfer payments: • A budget balance of R299.65 million or 26.6% of the total 1st quarter budget remained due to unspent funds in the following programmes: • Energy Efficiency Demand Side Management (EEDSM)-Eskom programme (R267.9 million), • INEP Non-grid project (R24.1 million) and • National Radio Active Waste Disposal Institute (R7.8 million). • Compensation of employees: • R7.29 million (11.8%) under budget attributable to vacancies which are in the process of being filled following the prioritization of positions by the Departmental Organizational Development Committee (DODC) and the final approval by the Finance Committee (FC). 1st QUARTER FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE FOR 2013/14

  10. 2013/14: 1st QUARTER FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE Overview – per Programme

  11. Programme 1: Administration • Compensation of employees: Variance is mainly due to vacancies. The Department, through relevant structures, has since taken a decision to prioritize positions in line function branches particularly in Electrification and Energy programmes and projects management and Nuclear Energy branches. Funding will be shifted appropriately • Goods and services: The unspent budget is mainly as a result of the status of the office accommodation • leases item which recorded a budget balance of approx. R5 million. It was anticipated that a claim will be received at the end of the quarter from the DPW for shared accommodation, at the regions with DMR.

  12. Programme 2: Energy Policy and Planning • The over spend in Goods and services, attributable to timing difference is, off-set by the under-spending in compensation of employees.

  13. Programme 3: Energy Regulation • Goods & services: The process of appointing a service provider to undertake the fuel specification testing project, is currently underway. It was initially anticipated that the project would commence in the first quarter.

  14. Prog.4: Electrification & Energy Programmes Management • Compensation of employees: Variance due to vacancies particularly of additional positions, the funding of which was reprioritized during the 2013 MTEF process. After the commencement of the financial year, additional positions, over and above those factored during the MTEF process, were approved and additional funding for these will be shifted to this branch following the finalization of the relevant processes • Goods and services: Variance is mainly attributable to the under spending in Computer services item of R1.8 million. This allocation was a provision for the running of the reporting tool/energy programme’s monitoring tool. The tool was not acquired as planned in the 12/13 financial year • Transfer payments: The balance is entirely due to the performance of the Non-grid electrification project, which reported a R24.1 million underspend or a 100% variance. The delay in the finalization of service providers’ contracts contributed to the variance. This situation has since being rectified with spending expected to commence during the • July month.

  15. Programme 5: Nuclear Energy and Regulation • Goods and services: An intensive Nuclear awareness campaign, planned to commence in the first quarter could not be undertaken due to conflicting priorities and had to be shifted to the following periods. The appointment of a service provider to determine the cost of nuclear in relation to the new nuclear build programme was also delayed contributing to the overall variance. • Transfers and subsidies: Variance entirely attributable to the transfers to the National Radio Active Waste Disposal Institute which could not be made as planned due to the pending appointment of the Board members.

  16. Programme 6: Clean Energy • Goods and services: The main cost drivers in this branch are specifically for undertaking Clean energy/energy efficiency awareness campaigns and audits. The spending plan has been adjusted as the awareness campaigns will commence in August 2013 to year end. • Transfers and subsidies: The reported variance, R267.9 million, in the EEDSM-Eskom programme is as a result of the payment to Eskom that could not be effected pending the finalization of funding contract associated with the implementation contract.

  17. 1st QUARTER TRANSFER PAYMENT SCHEDULE FOR 2013/14

  18. 1st QUARTER TRANSFER PAYMENT SCHEDULE FOR 2013/14 • YTD, the transfer payments reflected a budget under spend of R299.7 million (26.6%) mainly due to the following: • EEDSM –Eskom: -R267.9 million planned for transfer to Eskom for the Solar Water Heaters/geysers programme could not be paid due to delays in finalizing the implementation contract with Eskom. The contract has since been finalized and awaiting sign off while the funding contract is being reviewed by affected parties. • INEP Non-grid: -R24.1 million remained unspent due to delays with the extension of contracts. The extension of service contracts has since been signed and spending is expected in the following period. • NRAWDI: -R7.8 million could not be transferred to the institute, as planned, pending the establishment of the management structure, i.e. board of directors.
