Background

• The electrification programme was started by
  Eskom during the late 1980s
• It was further refined by the National
  Electrification Forum (NELF) during the
  early 1990s.
• Access to electricity for households in RSA was
  approximately 30.
• During this period the electrification programme
  was funded through the National Electricity
  Regulator (NER)

3
Background Cont.

• After 1994 and through the governments
  initiative of RDP (Reconstruction and Development
  Programme), electrification programme was
  endorsed.
• During 2001 the government took responsibility
  for funding electrification programme.
• The funds are made available from the fiscas
• Presidents State of Nation Address (universal
  access in RSA by 2012)

4
MANDATE OF INEP

• To manage the electrification planning, funding
  and implementation process, with the aim of
  addressing electrification backlog so as to reach
  universal access by 2012.
• Our Focus areas
• Managing the electrification planning process
• Managing the electrification funding allocation
• process
• Managing the electrification implementation
  process
• Monitor the INEP in line with the Energy white
  paper,
• the Division of Revenue Act (DoRA, Public
• Finance Management Act (PFMA),ER Act, OHS Act
• etc.

Electricity value chain
GENERATION
Electricity is Generated by burning of fossil
fuels (coal, oil, or natural gas), use of nuclear
technology and hydro capability

TRANSMISSION SUBSTATIONS
MUNICIPALITIES
1
TRANSMISSION LINES
3
TRANSMISSION (400/275 kV)
High Voltage electricity is carried between
Generation and required Distribution through
Transmission networks (or Transmission grids)
DISTRIBUTION LINES
POWER STATIONS
DISTRIBUTION (132/33 kV)
The distribution networks collect stepped down
electricity from the transmission networks and
deliver it to Redistributors /End Users
DISTRIBUTION SUBSTATIONS
The voltage levels of electricity are further
transformed to meet Distribution requirements
SERVICE CONNECTION
RETICULATION HV LINE (11 22kV)
Customer consumption is measured at the point of
supply in KWh. This information is used to
measure and bill consumption levels utilised/sold
RETICULATION LV LINE (380/220V)

CHALLENGES

• Challenges in the Electricity industry in South
  Africa
• Ageing electricity infrastructure
• Minimum or no investment by respective
  distributors (municipalities) in the operation
  and maintenance of the electricity infrastructure
  to date, hence lack of maintenance.
• Increased blackouts and brownouts in the country,
  concern for quality and security of supply for
  the 2010 FIFA World cup
• Limited or lack of adequate skills at local
  government level for operation and maintenance
  electricity infrastructure.

DoRA FRAMEWORK
17
Comments (current)

• Current framework support the projected outputs
• Connections for households, schools and clinics
• Building of bulk infrastructure
• Assist in monitoring performance
• Reallocate funding were is required (if necessary)

18
Comments (future)

• Have a schedule that allows funding of DSM and
  Energy Efficiency initiatives for municipalities
• Framework outputs
• MW shifted through the programme
• Assist in monitoring performance
• Process to be initiated with National Treasury

19
INSTITUTIONAL AND LEGISLATIVE FRAMEWORK

• Electricity Regulation Act (Act. No 4 of 2006)
  completed, will be used to
• Monitor compliance to the quality of supply
  regulations (to be completed by the end of
  October 2006.
• Enforce penalties to distributors for
  non-compliance
• Improve integration during planning process with
  municipal IDP.
• Eskom progress report to municipalities as per
  DoRa requirement
