STATE CEF GROUP STRUCTURE ETA ENERGY
Without sufficient, appropriate and affordable energy the modern economy cannot function. The wastes from fossil fuels contribute to global climate change. A move to renewable and cleaner energy sources is an imperative that can no longer be ignored. Despite this fossil fuels will continue to play a critical role in energizing the South African economy. CEF plays an active role in helping the country’s energy industry develop in both fossil fuels and in renewables
CEF operations • In renewable energy • In conventional fossil fuels • In cross-cutting energy related issues
Renewable energy activities • EDC • Commercial projects • Developmental projects • ETA • Landfill gas • Solar water heaters
Highlights • Progressing landfill gas projects • Developing solar water heating rollout programme • Basa njengo magogo programme • Safer paraffin appliance pilot
Conventional energy activities • SFF • OPCSA • iGas • African Exploration • PASA • PetroSA
Highlights • Maintained strategic oil stocks • Managed environmental responsibilities and liabilities without incident • Expanding piped gas capacity through compressor investment • Developing plans to exploit coal reserves • Managing petroleum licensing
Cross-cutting issues • Saneri • NEEA • Carbon business • SASDA
Highlights • Continued development of energy research hubs • Support for post-graduate students • Energy R&D projects • Interactions on a number of energy efficiency projects • Developing projects under the CDM through CEF Carbon operating in London • Collaboration with NORAD in Carbonstream Africa • Breaking barriers for entry into the energy industry through SASDA
Key Highlights for 2008/09 • PetroSA achieved record revenues of R12.1 billion, up 18% from 2007/08 • A dividend of R725 million was declared to the shareholder • Progress was made in finding a long term sustainable solution for gas supply to the Mossel Bay refinery. • Refinery Project( Mthombo) progressed well, with feasibility studies initiated. This will be followed by more detailed technical studies beginning early 2010. • Achieved total BEE procurement expenditure of R1.1 billion , or 41% of total procurement spend. This exceeded the industry charter prescription of 25%. • PetroSA achieved a level 2 BBBEE contributor status. This is just 1 level below maximum status attainable! • We were awarded a BEE facilitator status for acquisition of downstream assets by Department of Trade and Industry.
Key Highlights… • Continued to develop skills and empower women - 280 artisans trained at Centre of Excellence in M-Bay, some of whom are currently engaged in Shutdown - 50 bursaries awarded for studies in universities across the country - Sponsored Masters Programme in Geophysics, B-Tech in Chemical Eng & Leadership in Oil & Energy for Women R50 millon was spent on CSI initiatives, focussing on Education; Health & Community Development e.g: - Built a R13 million school from scratch in Nqadu village, Eastern Cape - Committed R9 million to University of Johannesburg to build academic capacity of previously disadvantaged persons (at PhD level)
Strong revenue growth due to marginally higher oil prices and a weaker Rand vs the US Dollar • Cost of sales significantly high year-on-year mainly arising from imported feedstock and substitution of indigenous hydrocarbons with low-margin imported fuel sales. • Other operating expenses reflective of our efforts to find reserves in Africa (Sudan, Equatorial Guinea and Gabon)
Strong balance sheet underpinned by a single-source revenue earner (Mossel Bay) • High cash balance currently but major projects planned include the Crude Refinery in Coega,a downstream retail acquisition and Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) importation for the Mossel Bay refinery. • Studies being finalised regarding the medium-to-long term future of the Mossel Bay plant.
