1 JOH-ESK JvW-P1 Update on the Power System and the Build Programme: A Presentation to the Media Jacob Maroga, Chief Executive, Eskom Holdings Ltd 23 January 2009

2 Power System - update JOH-ESK JvW-P1

3 State of the Power System: Capacity (last 6 months) Camden Power Station fully operational (8 units) 2 units of Grootvlei power station now synchronised to the grid 1 unit of Komati power station now synchronised to the grid 2 more open cycle gas turbine units at Gourikwa power station commissioned. Based on last year s peak demand reserve margin is above 8%. 35, 959 MW on 14 July 2008 compared to 36, 513 MW on 5 July 2007 Eskom has just over MW of operational capacity with the aim of adding close to MW more from the return to service stations and the open cycle gas turbines by the middle of the year. 3

4 State of the Power System: Plant performance, Jan 2008 to Jan 2009 CAPACITY OUTLOOK Partial Load Losses within range. Planned maintenance volume increasing for remainder of year. All plant being closely monitored MW's 01 Jan Jan Jan Feb Mar Mar Mar Apr Apr May May Jun Jun Jul Jul Aug Aug Sep Sep Oct Oct Nov Nov Dec Dec Jan-09 LL Full LL Partial Target

5 State of the Power System: Plant performance Significant maintenance work done in the holiday period in December and January between 6 000MW and 9 000MW of plant Impact of heavy rains managed and plant performance has improved as compared to the January 2008 period. More work still requires to be done to enable sustainable plant performance in the next few years. 5

6 State of the Power System coal supply trend, Jan 2008 to Jan 2009 Average coal stockpile levels at 38.7 days with every power station having stockpile levels above 20 days. Stations vulnerable to rain have stockpiles of about 5 days of coarse coal treated with chemicals to resist moisture ingress Co al sto ck p ile d ays Jan 24-Feb 30-Mar 04-May 05-Jun 01-Jul 23-Jul 25-Aug 28-Oct 08-Dec 22-Jan Weeks 38.7 days 6

7 State of the Power System: Energy Savings Forecasting to have a 3% reduction in energy sales for the financial year 2008/9 as compared to 2007/8 Impact of the economic downturn seen in the shutting down of ferro-alloy and stainless steel smelters. At least 1500MW of demand reduced. Savings by remaining customer base through efficiencies and price signals providing up to 1500MW of demand reductions. Some reduction due to the downturn but difficult to quantify. Average of 3 to 5% savings. Eskom is in continuous discussion with the mining houses to ensure production is not lost. 7
