8ENERGY SECURITY MASTER PLAN (ESMP) LIQUID FUELS
- The Energy Security Master Plan on liquid fuels
was approved by Cabinet in September 2007 - The Master plan sought to allow for the making of
well-informed choices in respect of energy
supply, energy carriers, demand sector
strategies, as well as energy transformation
approaches, cognisant of the need to minimize
negative impacts on the environment and the
economy - In the short-term
- the Master Plan focuses on developing supply
chain solutions to South Africas liquid fuels
supply challenges, management of liquid fuels
demand and emergency response tactics. - In the medium to long-term
- the approach is broader and begins to integrate
supply, demand, macroeconomics, geopolitics and
climate change
9STATUS OF ESMP PROJECTS
- Proposed refinery at Coega Feasibility stage
- Proposed Coal to Liquid plant by Sasol
Feasibility stage - Transnet constructing Pipeline
- Oil companies building storage capacity
- Not sufficient progress on Clean fuels
- Strategic Stocks Policy not revised
10CHALLENGES LIQUID FUELS
- Refining Capacity cannot meet demand Huge
import bill - Port infrastructure needs to be upgraded
Limited room for unplanned incidents at ports - Ability to supply inland market is challenged
- Inadequate storage infrastructure to supply
demand e.g. Airports - Rail infrastructure needs to play a bigger role
- Human and Financial Capacity in the Department
must be enhanced - Alignment of State Departments and Entities
11PERFORMANCE FROM PREVIOUS CYCLE
- Promulgation of Energy Act, 2008 No 34 of 2008
Integrated Energy Planning, Energy Efficiency,
Energy Research - Ratlou Integrated Energy Centre in North West
launched bringing the number to 6 nationally
Kuruman, Matatiele, Mutale, Eshane - 4387 Licence applications processed (Retail,
Wholesale licences) - Implementation Plan for the ESMP
- Planning for National Integrated Energy Modelling
system started - Planning for World Cup Fuel Supply Airports
identified as areas requiring focus
12THE ELECTRICITY SCENE
- blackouts and brownouts continue
- Used to be municipalities mainly, now also Eskom
(January 2008) - Recovery plan in place for short-medium term,
with NERT in place as per Cabinet decision - Intensified energy efficiency
- Cogeneration and renewable energy IPPs
- Eskom financing model being developed
- Nersa will make tariff determination soon and
pricing rising to long run marginal cost - Additional support to Eskom being considrered by
National Treasury - Improved regulatory environment
- Electricity Regulation Act operational from
October 2006 - New proposed regulations integrated resource
planning, new generation capacity, energy
efficiency and demand side management
13THE ELECTRICITY SCENE
- Demand projections (assumption of 2.5 sales
growth) indicate a need for power as indicated
below - South Africa remains in the the top 7 of
greenhouse gas emitters in the world - Nuclear will play a central role on the supply
side from 2015 (LTMS) - Considering nuclear plant lead times, earliest
can only be 2018 - Decisions are urgently required
- Only 76 of households have access to
electricity - Free Basic Energy rollout does not provide the
intended poverty relief
14ENERGY SECURITY POLICY
- Energy White Paper position provides for
diversification of energy mix, including coal,
nuclear, gas and renewable energy - Recall that Cabinet decision requires
- Eskom to do 70 of new generation, and
- Independent Power Producers (IPP) will do 30
- By 2013, the RE share of generation capacity must
be 10 000GWh - Nuclear energy policy approved by Cabinet
- Framework for prospecting, mining, milling and
use of nuclear materials for energy use - Radioactive waste management policy and strategy
approved - Establishes radioactive waste governance
framework - Establishment of a Cabinet Committee to oversee
implementation
15ENERGY SECURITY POLICY
- Cabinet adopted Long term mitigation scenarios
(LTMS) - Growth without constraints
- Peak, Plateau and Decline (from 2035) in respect
of GHG emissions - Start now scenario 27 nuclear by 2030
- Scale up scenario 50 nuclear by 2050
- By 2013, the RE share of generation capacity must
be 10 000GWh - These scenarios must guide our mitigation plans
- Even on scale up scenario, this would be
inconsistent with the decrease in GHG emissions
required by Science - This will likely put pressure on the RSA position
post Copenhagen 2009
16INTERVENTIONS
- Eskom build program (nuclear decision
finalization?) - Independent Power Producers (IPPs)
- Renewable energy IPPs ( feed-in tariff)
- Energy efficiency and demand side management
- National Electricity Response Plan
17RENEWABLE ENERGY
- 100MW of wind farms planned across the country
- REFSO project support is limited to projects
under R100 million. subsidy rate is now R1million
per MW. To date projects with total installed
capacity of 24 MW have been subsidised to date at
a total cost of R15m - Initiative to install over 500 000 solar water
heaters - The Solar Water Heating programme has an enegy
diversity and demand side management capability.
At present, about 1000 systems have been
implemented and plans and over 1.75 m planned for
the next MTEF period - The financing framework for Biofuels has been
established. Research into 2nd generation
biofuels programme is currently underway -
- NERSA has approved REFIT for Wind , Small Hydro
Schemes, Landfill and Solar Concentrated Power.
18ENERGY EFFICIENCY
- Energy Efficient Lighting programme has been
implemented in government buildings and
households in select municipalities - Involves exchange of incandescent lighting with
compact fluorescent lighting (CFLs) - To date over 20 million CFLs have been replaced
- Power Conservation Program to start in 2010
- Facilitates trading in energy savings
- Pilot Projects
- 2010 Host Cities, involving CFLs and traffic
lights
19ENERGY EFFICIENCY
- Designated National Authority (DNA)
- Responsible for registering Clean Development
Mechanism (CDM) projects - CDM is an intiative under the UN Framework
Convention on Climate Change (mitigates against
climate change) - 15 projects registered and over 120 in the
pipeline - Tradeable Renewable Energy Certificate (TRECs)
implementation framework is being finalised, to
enable benefits to be derived from climate change
benefits associated with renewable energy
sources.
20SOCIO-ECONOMIC INTERVENTIONS
- Challenges
- Universal access to energy (electricity and
thermal energy) - Funding to align with universal access target of
2014 for human settlements - Skills capacity related to accelerated program
for 2014 - Also opportunity for job creation Expanded
Public Works - Structuring of poverty tariff to cushion the
poor as prices rise - Increased access to Free Basic Energy (including
alternative non-grid carriers)
