Eskom and COP 17

1. Eskom and COP 17 • Eskom is gearing up for COP17, the Conference of the Parties on climate change which opens in Durban on 29 November. We aim to support government, with logistics and content, to ensure the event is a success • Initiatives in place to deliver a secure supply of electricity to KZN during the event and to ensure a ‘green’ COP 17, with energy efficiency and renewable energy projects • Eskom playing a lead role in global Electricity Utilities project, profiling work by electricity utilities to combat climate change, as well as participating in South African CEO forum on climate change • Work on 100 MW Sere wind project in Western Cape could start later this year. Signing of EUR 100 million (R981 million) credit facility with AgenceFrançaise de Développement (AFD) this month, adds to funding from World Bank and AFDB for Eskom’s first large scale renewable energy projects (in wind and concentrating solar power)

2. Summing up • We implemented our plans, on the supply and demand sides, to address the challenges and manage a tight system • We kept the lights on during winter this year • Demand saving important to create space for maintenance • Summer will continue to be tight. • If all South Africans, individuals, companies and government save 10% of their energy use of 2010, we will have enough to ensure a secure power system and grow the economy : 10% saved = 3700 MW = one new power station= ~23 million tonnes less CO2 • We are resolved to keep the lights on but Eskom cannot do it alone: we need partnerships with our stakeholders

3. Please partner with us • Embrace energy saving as a national culture, joining the global journey towards a sustainable future • 49M campaign aims to create a culture of energy efficiency in SA • Remember the three Ps: save power, save your pocket and save our planet . If you’re not using it, switch it off!
