4 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The National Energy Regulator (NERSA) conducted a compliance audit on umhlathuze Local Municipality ( the Licensee ) from 04 to 05 December 2012 to determine its level of compliance with the licence conditions. The objective was to determine the compliance of umhlathuze Local Municipality with the legal, financial and technical conditions of the electricity distribution licence. After the audit, findings were recorded in a draft report and forwarded to the Licensee for management comments with regard to the correctness of the findings in order to make the report final. umhlathuze Local Municipality complied with some of the conditions of the electricity distribution licence, but there were instances of non-compliance that needed management intervention to prevent deterioration of the network. On 14 February 2013, umhlathuze Local Municipality sent the management comments to NERSA. These were received well within the prescribed time frame. The report was then considered final by NERSA and umhlathuze Local Municipality was then requested to send NERSA a signed time-bound corrective action plan (CAP) to address the highlighted instances of non-compliance. On 22 August 2013, umhlathuze Local Municipality sent an unsigned CAP for NERSA s perusal and it was found to be acceptable as it addressed the issues highlighted by the audit. NERSA instituted a monitoring regime to ensure and enforce the implementation of the CAP developed by umhlathuze Local Municipality. On 08 September 2014, NERSA conducted a monitoring exercise on the implementation of the CAP at umhlathuze Local Municipality. This exercise was conducted in order to determine the progress made in the implementation of the CAP. NERSA is of the view that addressing issues raised during an audit will help umhlathuze Local Municipality to be a more efficient and effective licensee. This report depicts all the findings as per the audit and presents the status quo in terms of progress made at the time of the monitoring to address the noncompliances highlighted during the audit. During the monitoring exercise, NERSA conducted site inspections to verify progress made in the implementation of the CAP. It must be noted that significant progress has been made by umhlathuze Local Municipality to improve the network condition and business systems of the Municipality. The level of improvement is depicted in detail in section seven of the report. 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 Overview The National Energy Regulator (NERSA) is required to monitor and assess whether the electricity suppliers comply with the conditions of Page 4 of 15
5 their licences. The Energy Regulator approved a compliance monitoring framework for electricity distributors in 2011, which acts as a guide on how compliance audits and monitoring must be conducted. The framework is also supported by the Electricity Regulation Act, 2006 (Act No. 4 of 2006), Chapter 4 (a) (vii), which states that the Regulator must enforce performance and compliance; and take appropriate steps in the case of nonperformance. The National Energy Regulator conducts the compliance audits on licensed electricity distributors annually. The National Energy Regulator regulates the energy industry in accordance with Government laws and policies, standards and international best practices in support of sustainable development. The organisation issues licences to electricity distributors and therefore requires audits to be conducted against key licence obligations. It is the National Energy Regulator s mandate to monitor and enforce compliance with the licence conditions as per the Act. This monitoring process enforces and ensures improvement and sustainability of the licensees for the betterment of the Electricity Supply Industry (ESI), which will lead to improved quality of supply and service to customers. 1.2 Monitoring and Enforcement Objectives The key objectives of the compliance monitoring and enforcement of the corrective action plans are to: a) enforce implementation of the corrective action plans; b) help the licensee not to lose sight of critical matters that need to be corrected; c) help the licensee to start doing self-monitoring in terms of their performance against licence conditions; d) help the licensee to ensure that the quality of service and supply does not decline; and e) inform the Energy Regulator of the progress made by the licensee in the implementation of the corrective action plans. 2. METHODOLOGY A corrective action plan template was developed and sent to umhlathuze Local Municipality ( the Licensee ) to populate all the non-compliances highlighted during the audit, together with the intended corrective action plans (CAPs) with target dates of implementation. This is to be used by the National Energy Regulator to monitor the progress made and to establish Page 5 of 15
6 whether the timelines of the CAP were realistic in terms of addressing the issues highlighted during the audit. The CAP was sent to NERSA, but it was not signed by the relevant officials of the Licensee. NERSA accepted the CAP and instigated a monitoring process which robustly monitors progress. Progress is checked against target dates and remedial actions are implemented on an ongoing basis. Proof and supporting documents were requested and presented to the National Energy Regulator s officials during the monitoring process. Site verification was also done to compare the current plant condition to the plant condition during the audit. 3.

7 customers. There are eight bulk intake points under the umhlathuze Local Municipality area of supply and it has a summated Notified Maximum Demand of 296 MVA. The total geographical area of umhlathuze Local Municipality is approximately km². 5. AUDIT FINDINGS At the time of the audit, the following was highlighted to the Licensee as areas that need attention and improvement: (i) The vegetation management had been neglected at some substations. (ii) Housekeeping of some of the substation buildings needed attention, e.g. loose paint and cracks in the walls. (iii) Some safety signs were loose, faded or missing completely. (iv) Some cable trenches were open, which is dangerous. (v) The service date of all of the fire equipment in the substations had expired. (vi) The condition of the Polaris substation was unacceptable. There was only one transformer which was in very bad condition with potential grave economic consequences should it fail. (vii) A dangerous condition was found at Vela substation, where a blown-up panel was unlocked, bridged and live without any warning danger signs. (viii) Some mini-substations were in a bad condition with loose panels inside and were accessible to the public. Vegetation management had not been done and no safety signs were visible. 6. UMHLATHUZE S PERFORMANCE ON NERSA COMMUNICATION In December 2012, NERSA conducted a compliance audit on umhlathuze Local Municipality to determine its level of compliance with its licence conditions. This audit was followed by a number of s from the National Energy Regulator to umhlathuze Local Municipality s Electricity Distribution Department. The table below shows communication between NERSA and the Licensee. Table 1 Communication Record NERSA REQUEST DATE OF REQUEST LICENSEE RESPONSE DATE OF RESPONSE Request of Management 17/01/2013 Positive response 14/02/2013 comments on draft report Reminder on CAP 21/06/2013 Positive response 17/09/2013 Page 7 of 15

The condition of Vela still needs attention since the wall of the substation building is still cracked. The officials of umhlathuze Local Municipality highlighted during the monitoring exercise that they had decided to first attend to Capella due to its condition being worse than that of Vela. It was emphasised that Vela must be attended to urgently to prevent the imminent collapse of the building. The table below depicts the progress made in addressing the instances of noncompliance at the time of the monitoring of the implementation of the CAP submitted to NERSA.

CONCLUSIONS umhlathuze Local Municipality has implemented the CAP. The NERSA audit team noted the dedication and commitment of umhlathuze Local Municipality to improve their level of compliance. This commitment is commendable. Page 14 of 15
15 10. RECOMMENDATIONS It is recommended that umhlathuze Local Municipality fully implement the CAP. The Licensee should develop and conduct a self-monitoring regime to ensure that the level of compliance does not deteriorate. 11. NEXT STEP There are still instances of non-compliance that need to be addressed by the licensee. As a result, the Energy Regulator expects the licensee to implement the corrective action plan until all the instances of noncompliance have been fully addressed in order to improve the licensee s level of compliance. The National Energy Regulator will continue to monitor the licensee s implementation of the corrective action plan on an ongoing basis to ensure that all the findings are addressed. Once the remaining projects in the CAP have been concluded, the Licensee must send a closeout report to the National Energy Regulator. It is expected that the licensee will now implement a self-monitoring regime to ensure that the improved areas do not deteriorate back to a situation of non-compliance. Further monitoring exercises to be conducted by the Energy Regulator on the licensee will be communicated to the Licensee in due course. All communication should be forwarded to the Head of Department unless indicated otherwise by means of a formal letter signed by the Head of Department: The Head of Department Licensing and Compliance: Electricity National Energy Regulator of South Africa PO Box Arcadia 0007 Fax: +27 (0) Page 15 of 15
