DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY PRESENTATION ON THE INTEGRATED NATIONAL ELECTRFICATION PROGRAM (INEP) 10 September 2013
Annual Report Presentation • Introduction • Key focus areas • Allocation 13/14 financial year • Socio-Economic Impact • Universal access challenges • New Household Electrification Strategy • Additional aspects • Way forward
INEP’s response to the 12 Government Outcomes and PICC INEP contributes to the following DoE and Government’s Outcomes Based Planning Approach: Outcome 4 – Decent employment through inclusive economic growth; Outcome 6 – An efficient, competitive and responsive economic infrastructure network Outcome 7 –Vibrant, equitable and sustainable rural communities with food security for all Outcome 8 – Sustainable human settlement and improved quality of household life and Outcome 9– A responsive, accountable, effective and efficient local government system. INEP is also reporting into SIP 1, 4, 6 and 10 of the PICC process.
Electrification progress • Close to 5.7 million households were connected to the grid between 1994 and 2013/14. • In the period from 2002 to 2013/14 – 68 115 households were supplied with non-grid technology (Solar panels – Renewable Energy) • Eastern Cape - 13 202 • Kwazulu Natal - 44 532 • Limpopo - 10 381 • Non-grid electrification programmes will in future not only be implemented in concessionary areas, but in a limited basis in other areas of the country.
Non grid – Solar home systems 2012/13 Financial year
INEP PERFORMANCE (12/13) Target of 180 000 was exceeded Improved efficiencies as a result of being more involved in the operational activities of implementers. Good co-operation from Eskom and Municipalities
Allocations 2013/14 • Connections might change as projects are moving from design into • implementation phase.
Socio–Economic Impact • Job creation (e.g. local labour) – about 1 permanent job = R800 000 to R1 mil spend on electrification. • Training (e.g. municipal engineer interns and project manager) – 700 interns been trained at INEP and munics/metro, • Community upliftment (e.g. business opportunities) • Poverty elevation • Access to basic services (e.g. electricity) • ..\..\Electrification general\Survey of Energy related behaviour and perception in SA - Residential Sector - 2012.pdf
Universal access challenge • Households without electricity: ~3.3 million (Informal 1.2 mil and • formal 2.1 mil) • 75 % in Eskom supply area and 25% in municipalities supply • area.
INEP established in 2001/02 - address backlogs of households in line with Energy White Paper (1998) recommendations. • Newly built households to be electrified by the restructured Electricity Distribution Industry (EDI) - due to serious inefficiencies in the EDI over the last 10 years, INEP had to address not only backlogs, but also newly built houses and informal households. • Not only connections had to be funded, but also ‘back bone’ network infrastructure. • In addition to the above challenges, escalating electrification costs and limited funding, as well as the high growth rate of houses (formal and informal), resulted in a serious thread to reach universal access in the country. • Despite its successes to date, the electrification programme will fall short in meeting its target of electrifying 92% of formal households by 2014, as defined as backlogs in 2001/02. It is expected that 84% of all formal households and 78% of all households in the country will be electrified by 2014. Universal access challenge (cont.)
2011 Census: ±12,24 mil households out of ± 14,45 mil households are utilizing electricity as a lighting source; ± 85% of households have access to electricity for lighting purposes. • Different types of households included into the total household figure (built on the same stand as the formal household): • Houses/flats/rooms in backyard 423 000 • Informal dwellings in backyards (shacks in backyard) 713 000 • Room/flatlet on a property or larger • dwelling/servants quarters/granny flat 120 000 • Total 1,256 000 • Majority of these households (about 90% plus) are not metered, estimated to be ± 1.1 mil . • Network designs were not done to accommodate these additional households, hence will have to be upgraded. • These households also do not qualify for inclining block tariff and FBE. • About 2.2 mil households according to Census 2011 stats are without electricity, if the 1,1 mil households that are not metered are been added, total figure of about 3,3 mil. • In line with the INEP stats for households that are not formally electrified (metered), hence ±77% households have a metered supply. Households electrified in South Africa
If universal access to electricity by 2014 is not practical, what is the most effective and realistic timeframe to reach universal access, given the various challenges in the electricity industry, raising cost of electrification, etc.? • Hence a new approach to electrification is required - New Electrification Roadmap (Implementation plan) for South Africa was developed. • In March 2012, DoE held an Electrification Indaba where all the relevant sector departments and stakeholders were invited to participate and agreed on the need for a new Electrification Roadmap. • The Indaba resulted in a consultative working group process which the following relevent stakeholders were involved in defining the new Roadmap: • Eskom, DHS, DRDLR, DPE, SALGA, AMEU, CoGTA, MISA, NERSA, SANEDI, DBSA, National Planning Commision, National Treasury, MinMEC, NPC, PICC Secretariat, Commercial financial institutions and current non-grid concessionnaires.

2027 2017 2018 2017 2019 +R2 billion Universal Access is function of Electrification Technology options and funding 2022 2031 2020 2023 2021 +R1 billion Additional funding per year 2037 2023 2026 Base case 2028 2030 (base case) Option 2 Most cost efficient technology Option Option 3(base case) Option 2, but non-grid within 3km Option 5 Option 3, grid connection for informal households Option 1 All grid Option 4 Option 3, but grid replaces mini-grids 100 70 90 87 78 Technology mix % of current un-electrified formal households to be connected to the grid
Using these rules, it is expected to deploy around 300,000 solar home systems and reach universal access for formal households in 2025 South Africa Provincial non-grid potential Thousand households Total connections 2013 – 2025 Million households 37 26 10% 16 0.3 Non-grid 84 11 28 3.1 90% Grid 73 19 The highest potential for Non-grid is in KZN and Eastern Cape Time to electrify formal households 20251 1 Assumes existing INEP annual funding and DoHS contribution of R2,000 per household for new RDP houses (40,000 houses per annum); assumes total of 50,000 new formal households per year from DoHS formalization process
The Cabinet Approved (26 June 2013) the implementation of the new Household Electrification Strategy based on the following focus areas: The defining of universal access as 97% of households, as full electrification is unlikely to be possible due to growth and delays in the process of formalising informal settlements; The electrification of about 90% of households through grid connection and the rest with high-quality non-grid solar home systemsor other possible technologies based on cost effective options in order to address current and future backlogs; The development of a master plan to increase efficiency in planning and the delivery process to ensure more connections, including a workshop on the Plan to which all members of cabinet would be invited to; and New Household Electrification Strategy
Grid and Non – Grid Opportunities • Least cost approach (benchmark) • cost per connection R12000 – Urban setup • cost per connection R17000 – Rural setup • Critically analysing major infrastructure need/cost vs the IPP establishment and acceptance • Generation Capacity vs available network capacity – time frames to electrify outstanding households • Universal Access per Ward/Municipality in the next 2-3 years New Household Electrification Strategy
New Household Electrification Strategy – Example Western Cape
New Household Electrification Strategy –Example West Coast District - Bergrivier
Additional aspects Eskom has progressed very well with addressing the so-called “island electrification” in KZN. 14 959 households identified falling into this category in 2011/12 – 10 186 been electrified (4773 outstanding) Master plan development – DoE in collaboration with Eskom. DBSA “front loading” process to fast track certain high backlog Municipalities as part of INEP long term planning. Experiencing some challenge with this programme
The targets set for 2030 by the UN’s "Sustainable Energy for All" initiative are as follows • ensuring universal access to modern energy services; • doubling the global rate of improvement in energy efficiency; and • doubling the share of renewable energy in the global energy mix. • The SE4All objectives within a South African framework • This UN initiative is fully in line with South Africa’s energy policies and goals as outlined in policy and regulatory frameworks such as the Energy Policy (1998), the Energy Efficiency Strategy (2005), and the IRP-2 2011. Sustainable Energy for All (SE4ALL)
If universal access to electricity is to be reach by 2025, the following is needed: • Adequate funding for capital projects, • Implementation in line with the Master Plan. • Need to solve the serious challenges in the EDI - difficult to run a electrification programme where network upgrading of billions of rands are required, • To solve some serious network constrains – can’t roll out connections in majority parts of KZN and EC, • Improvement of the turn around time for IEA approvals, vast areas in EC and KZN have land claims on them, tribal vs municipal land rules, house not build as planned, etc • Good co-operation between National Government and other spheres of government, • Resources wrt municipalities to be improved, political intervention, long procurement processes, lack of responsibility and accountability, • Clean and good administration for delivering infrastructure projects requires about 40% additional staff, while additional staff allocations of this level in public sector is not allow, therefore this function has to be fulfil by operational staff and hence productive time for delivering a service is been lost and • INEP to be resourced effectively.
