8 Legislative Mandates National Energy Act, (Act 34 of 2008) White Paper on Energy Policy, 1998 SANEDI s mandate is derived from the authority and obligations set out in the following policies, legislation and constitutional requirements : The SA Constitution, (Act 108 of 1996) The following specific plans, directives and public announcements which reinforces SANEDI s responsibilities Strategic Plan of the Department of Energy

9 Legislative Mandates National EE Strategy, 2008 Energy Security Master Plan for Liquid Fuels, 2007 Energy Security Master Plan, 2007 Integrated Resource Plan for Energy, 2010 DST 10 year innovation Plan M&V guideline for EE certificates (DRAFT) Carbon capture and storage Road Map

10 Strategic Overview Vision To serve as a catalyst for sustainable energy innovation, transformation and technology diffusion in support of SA s sustainable development that benefits our nation Mission Advance innovation of clean energy solutions and rational energy use that effectively supports SA s national energy objectives and the transition towards a sustainable,low carbon energy future Values Innovation Accountability Transparency National Interest Integrity Professionalism Batho Pele

11 Strategic outcome orientated goals

12 Strategic outcomes /programmes STRATEGIC OUTCOMES PROGRAMMES All/Crosscutting 1. Corporate governance and administration Enable well informed and high confidence energy planning, decision-making and support policy* development Support accelerated transformation to a less energy and carbon intensive economy 2. Applied energy research and demonstration including sub-programmes for: Advanced fossil fuels including Carbon Capture and Storage Clean Energy Solutions Smart Grids Green Transport Working for Energy Data and Knowledge Management Foster a culture of energy efficiency and more rational energy use 3. Energy efficiency programme

13 SA Centre for Carbon Capture And Storage (SACCCS) Core Parties Participants coal

14 SACCCS cont South African Government through the Department of Energy: 2013/2014 R 69 million 2014/2015 R 103 million 2015/2016 R 35 million Accessing the 25 million that the UK Government has placed in the World Bank Carbon Capture and Storage Trust Fund Norwegian Government South African industry

15 SACCCS Achievements Carbon Capture and Storage Feasibility First international review of potential storage sites completed Stakeholder engagement plan approved and initiated Stakeholder meetings held in EC, KZN, DWA, DEA KZN, SALGA COCATE project (European Union CO2 Transport) completed SAfECCS Project (European SA CO2 storage) completed Capacity building 6 X Bursaries current (5 Masters completed) International profile maintained further funding indicated Clean Fossil Fuels Technologies 4 X projects completed High Pressure fuel injector test bed operational at Wits

16 SACCCS Achievements Oil and Gas R&D Frameworks Draft oil and gas frameworks completed submitted to DoE for comment Shale Gas New project Initial capacity build completed Draft work plan completed to be submitted to the DoE

17 Working for Energy Renewable energy production and utilization for low income communities. Creation of Green Jobs and contribution to the new growth path Skills Development Various forms of Biomass and Waste to Energy initiatives Biomass Production value added goods and production of fuel pellets

18 Working for Energy..cont.. Establish clean energy, electricity generation and supply facilities within rural communities economic/social/sustainability benefits Develop and demonstrate the rural application of energy efficiency technologies economic/social/environmental benefits Biogas production from Biomass for domestic use. Food Production and Waste Production Energy efficiency

19 Smart grids Development of SA smart grid vision Compile current state assessment Technology, governance, service and gap analysis as well as defined solutions Smart Grid Business case Smart grid implementation plan Consolidated smart grid industry guideline

20 Smart metering/e-learning Smart meter pilot project/e learning integration Benefit communities Integration with tablets Aimed at improving learning Access to web based classes Able to download text books and other learning material

21 Data/Knowledge Management Development of an integrated data repository Technology Management Information Centre Review the strategic direction of CESAR Enhanced access to relevant energy information and knowledge

22 Green Transport Programme Develop a national Green Transport strategic vision and technology development plan Develop a technology development incubation centre to offer soft start facilities to companies and technology partners Develop and implement demonstration projects to test proof technology Participate in knowledge clusters locally/internationally Develop substantive public advocacy programme to create market acceptability for alternative fuels and propulsion systems

23 Renewable Energy Technologies Renewable Energy Centre of Research & Development (RECORD) Projects, pilots and demos Wind Atlas for South Africa (WASA), Mobile waste to energy plant, Algal Biofuels, solar road map, energy efficient house Support to Solar Park International collaboration

24 Energy Efficiency Support the Income Tax Amendment relating to tax rebate for energy efficiency improvements Energy Efficiency & Demand Side Management Centre of Research & Development (EEDSM) Industry Support National Champion for EE National M & V Centre

28 Matters of strategic importance Funding HR EE Mandate clarification

29 Matters of strategic importance/funding Following programmes remain unfunded : Green Transport Programme - (DoT verbally committed R10m for GTP awaiting written confirmation ) Working for Energy Programme Energy Efficiency Smartgrids???

30 Matters of strategic importance /HR HR Staff complement of permanent 75% black representation 53% women representation Internship Programme (8 interns to date) - Attempts to source funding for additional interns EWSETA under administration CFO post advertised 18 Aug 2013 Company Sec post shortlisting being done Additional funding needed for key support staff done via MTEF reduce dependency on CEF/create independence

31 Matters of strategic importance / Energy Efficiency Mandate Clarification There are a number of conflicting views between: The requirements/ mandate of the Act. NERSA and the recent M-Y-P-D pronouncements. DoE s concerns about potential Conflicts of Interest. The Energy Efficiency landscape is itself becoming inefficient : Especially in the field of awareness, (49m, Eskom-IDM, Local Authority campaigns, Power Alert, etc.) Even spreading to the research environment, (DST, Eskom, etc.) Average member of the public is becoming confused, (SWH or Heat Pumps, CFL s or LEDs, etc.) There is no central co-ordination and/ or measurement of real impacts!

32 Interim Actions We have agreed with the Senior Management of the DoE, to compile a Position Paper on SANEDI s role in Energy Efficiency:- Provide a national Clearing House facility to ensure proper integration, co-ordination, performance measurement & consolidated reporting on Energy Efficiency in the country. Including the independent performance tracking of the National Energy Efficiency Strategy, Policy/ Regulation impacts (Tax Incentives), Demand-Side Management savings and awareness activities. Compile and manage a central repository of Energy Efficiency data for the country Possibly extend this to cater for the alignment and integration of donor funds flowing into the country for Energy Efficiency activities, to avoid duplication?

33 Interim Actions Facilitate local and international donor funding and partnerships Variable costing models Resources optimisation with sister organisations through secondments, mutual skills development Access skills development funding from SETAs- EWSETA under administration other SETAs being approached
