Introduction of the DOE Team • Establishment and mandate of the Department of Energy/Who we are • DOE was established in 2009 – outcome of the split of the Department of Minerals and Energy into Department of Energy and the Department of Mineral Resources • The Department is mandated with the responsibility of ensuring secure and sustainable provision of energy for socio-economic development in our country – a mandate that has been reconfirmed via the NDP and the President’s 2014 SONA. • Since its establishment, the Department’s financial and human capacity has seen a steady increase. INTRODUCTION
The Department is supported by six state-owned entities reporting to the Minister of Energy. • These include regulators in the electricity, petroleum, gas and nuclear sectors, researchers in clean and renewable energy and other energy sectors, as well as promoting development within the sector. • The Department ensures that the strategic plans and annual performance plans of these entities are aligned to the overall Government priorities. • On the international front, the Department’s approach to international engagements focuses on energy security through maintaining and sourcing agreements with countries of interest – for skills development, technology, funding support and energy supply within the region.

STRATEGIC OUTCOMES The Department has identified the following Strategic Outcomes: • Security of Supply by ensuring that energy supply is secure and demand well managed; • Infrastructure development by facilitating an efficient, competitive and responsive energy infrastructure network; • Regulation and Competition certainty by ensuring that there is improved energy regulation and competition in the energy sector; • Universal Access and Transformation by ensuring that there is an efficient and diverse energy mix for universal access within a transformed energy sector; • Environmental Assets that are well protected and continually enhanced by cleaner energy technologies. • Climate Change response by implementing policies that adapt to and mitigate the effects of climate change. • Prudent Corporate Governance through implementation of good governance practices for effective and efficient service delivery.
In its first five years of existence, the department has been focusing on the development and improvement of policy in support of energy security (as mandated), through an integrated energy planning approach while strengthening the regulatory framework within the energy sector and playing our role in helping to reduce the impact of greenhouse gas emissions. • New and old relations were established and reviewed, respectively, within the regions as well as the international platform at large with greater focus on promoting regional integration and promoting our participation in the international energy platform. THE FIRST FIVE YEARS OF DOE
Improved access to energy services in rural communities through electrification of over 1.1 million new connections and the construction of Integrated Energy Centres. • This brought the figures of electricity connections to 6 mil for the past 20 years • Produced the country’s 20 year plan (IRP 2010) for electricity, with a deliberate bias towards cleaner energy. • Introduction of Independent Power Producers (IPPs) • The Department has gone a long way in creating regulatory certainty, which is bearing fruit through significant investments in energy infrastructure. HIGHLIGHTS FOR THE FIRST FIVE YEARS
Inadequate generation capacity; • Distribution Infrastructure and management of distribution business; • Cost of energy; • Access to electricity; • Energy efficiency; • Lack of adequate skills levels and • Economic transformation. CHALLENGES
The Department has reviewed its 2014/15 APP tabled in February 2014 to align it to the MTSF targets as well as the SONA; • For the 2014/15 financial year, the Department is appropriated R7.4bn, with 93% of the total budget earmark for transfer payments. • The bulk of the budget increase from the 2013/14 budget is allocated to the electrification programme and the solar water geyser programme. • The next two slides indicate the department’s areas of contribution to the twelve government outcomes and participation in the PICC and SIPs. THE 2014/15 ANNUAL PERFORMANCE PLAN
DOE - CONTRIBUTION TO 12 GOVERNMENT OUTCOMES AND PICC The department contributes directly or indirectly to the following Outcomes Based Planning Approach: Outcome 4 – Employment: Decent employment through inclusive economic growth; Outcome 6 – Economic Infrastructure: An efficient, competitive and responsive economic infrastructure network Outcome 7 – Rural Development: Vibrant, equitable and sustainable rural communities with food security for all Outcome 8 – Integrated Human Settlements: Sustainable human settlement and improved quality of household life Outcome 9– Local Government: A responsive, accountable, effective and efficient local government system. Outcome 10 – Environment: Protect and enhance our environmental assets and natural resources. INEP is also reporting at this stage into SIP 1, 4, 6, 8, 9 and 10 of the PICC.

PICC AND STRATEGIC INTEGRATED PROJECTS (SIPs)
Increase access to electricity with an additional 265 000 grid connections and 15 000 non-grid installations; • Increase momentum on the installation of solar water heating units; • Finalise the Integrated Energy Plan (IEP) with more detailed infrastructure plans; • Address maintenance and refurbishment backlogs in the electricity distribution industry; • Strengthen the liquid fuels industry; and • Facilitate the process leading to the implementation of decisions taken on the nuclear programme. KEY FOCUS AREAS FOR THE 2014/15 (FY)
Earmarked transfer payments to public entities, municipalities and other implementing institutions amounts to R6.89 billion which is equivalent to 92.94% of the Department’s total budget of R7.42 billion. • The remaining budget is for operational expenditure and this has been the trend of the budget for the past 4 years • The history of the fiscus allocation is as follows: • 2010/11 - R5.648 Billion • 2011/12 - R6.200 Billion (Increased by 9.7%) • 2012/13 - R6.734 Billion (Increased by 8.6%) • 2013/14 - R6.503 Billion (Decreased by 3%) • 2014/15 - R7.415 Billion (Increased by 14%) 2014/15 BUDGET COMMENTS
Integrated National Electrification Plan • Finalization of Mini-ADAM distribution infrastructure pilots • Solar Water Gysers • Independent Power Producers • Nuclear Energy DEPARTMENT PROGRAMMES FOR 2014/15
INEP PERFORMANCE (13/14) 2013/14 connection target was 260 000 INEP manage to achieve 303 773 connections – over performed by 46 773 connections. Good co-operation from Eskom and less so good from Municipalities
Allocations 2014/15 The reduction in the municipality programme by R 460 million and increase in the Eskom programme by R460 mil are factored into the above table, which will have the result that an additional 30 000 connections will have to be achieved by Eskom in 2014/15.
Eskom 14/15 allocations Note that R662,7 mil of all municipal allocations, while R2,314 bil of Eskom allocations are earmarked for the 24 least resourced District Municipalities for the 14/15 financial year, in line with support of SIP 6 initiative. Total grid allocation of R2.977 bil, as well as the full non-grid allocation of R96 mil makes out 73 % of the total INEP allocations for 14/15.
