11 18 Approach to Power-System Planning

12 Last promulgated IRP is IRP 21, update currently ongoing (IRP 216) The enforceable IRP in South Africa is still the IRP 21 as promulgated in 211, it planned until 23 A number of changes since IRP 21 (demand forecast and confirmation of wind/solar PV cost decrease) The IRP 216 plans until 25 and is currently being developed IRP 21: promulgated in 211, plans from IRP Update 213: Not promulgated IRP 216: first draft publ. in Nov 216, plans from

13 IRP process as described in the Department of Energy s Draft IRP 216 document: least-cost Base Case is derived from technical planning facts Scenario 1 Scenario 2 Planning Facts Constraint: RE limits Least Cost Base Case Constraint: e.g. forcing in of nuclear, CSP, biogas, hydro, others Constraint: Advanced CO 2 cap decline Case Base Case Scenario 1 Scenario 2 Scenario 3 Cost Base Base + Rxx bn/yr Base + Ryy bn/yr Base + Rzz bn/yr 1. Public consultation on costed scenarios 2. Policy adjustment of Base Case 3. Final IRP for approval and gazetting Scenario 3 21 Sources: based on Department of Energy s Draft IRP 216, page 7;

14 The CSIR conducted in-depth power-system analyses to determine the least-cost expansion path for the South African electricity system The Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) is currently being updated by the Department of Energy / Eskom Draft IRP 216 Base Case entails a limitation: Amount of wind and solar PV capacity that the model is allowed to build per year is limited, which is neither technically nor economically justified/explained (no techno-economical reason provided) The CSIR is therefore conducting a study to determine the Least Cost electricity mix in RSA until 25 Majority of assumptions kept exactly as per the Draft IRP 216 Base Case First and most important deviation from IRP 216: no new-build limits on renewables (wind/solar PV) Second (smaller) deviation: costing for solar PV and wind until 23 aligned with latest IPP tariff results Scope of the CSIR study: purely techno-economical optimisation of the costs directly incurred in the power system Two scenarios from the Draft IRP 216 are compared with the Least Cost case Draft IRP 216 Base Case new coal, new nuclear Draft IRP 216 Carbon Budget significant new nuclear Least Cost least-cost without constraints An hourly capacity expansion and dispatch model (incl. unit commitment) using PLEXOS is run for all scenarios to test for technical adequacy same software platform as by Eskom/DoE for the IRP 22 Sources: CSIR analysis

15 The IRP currently only optimises for the generation cost component of total system cost (this is the dominant component) Optimised in PLEXOS model Not optimised in PLEXOS modelling framework (CSIR assumption for all scenarios =.3 R/kWh) [br/yr] 23 Costs included in Gx optimisation model: CAPEX (plant level) FOM 1 VOM 2 Fuel Costs excluded in Gx optimisation model: Externalities e.g. CO 2 emissions costs Decommissioning costs Waste management and/or rehabilitation Major mid-life overhaul Shallow grid connection costs Generation (Gx) High-level costing applied to PLEXOS outcomes Transmission network (Tx) Not considered Distribution network (Dx) Qualitatively discussed (quantified for system inertia) System services 3 Not considered Other (metering, billing, customer services, overheads) Total system cost 1 FOM = Fixed Operations and Maintenence costs; 2 VOM = Variable Operations and Maintenence costs; 3 Typically referred to as Ancillary Services includes services to ensure frequency stability, transient stability, provide reactive power/voltage control, ensure black start capability and system operator costs.

The model inherently includes the specific cost structures of each technology i.e. capex, Fixed O&M, variable O&M, fuel costs etc. 2 Changing full-load hours for new-build options drastically changes the fixed cost components per kwh (lower full-load hours higher capital costs and fixed O&M costs per kwh); Assumptions: Average efficiency for CCGT = 55%, OCGT = 35%; nuclear = 33%; IRP costs from Jan-212 escalated to May-216 with CPI; assumed EPC CAPEX inflated by 1% to convert EPC/LCOE into tariff; Sources: IRP 213 Update; Doe IPP Office; StatsSA for CPI; Eskom financial reports for coal/diesel fuel cost; EE Publishers for Medupi/Kusile; Rosatom for nuclear capex; CSIR analysis

39 IRP PLEXOS model only optimises for cost of power generation (Gx) two additional key aspects considered: system stability and grid cost System Stability (inertia): worst case below 1% of Gx cost Connecting nuclear/coal via HVDC and/or solar PV/wind to the grid reduces the system inertia This reduces the inherent stabilising effect of synchronous inertia during contingency events Technical solutions to operate low-inertia system exist In this study the worst case was costed State-of-the-art technology (very high costs assumed, no further tech/cost advancements) Assumption: No further increase in engineering of how to deal with low-inertia systems by 25 In all scenarios, the worst-case-cost are well below 1% of the total cost of power generation (Gx) by 25, cost differences between scenarios are much lower than 1% 47 Transmission grid cost: Gx Least Cost also cheapest for Tx High-level cost estimate for shallow and deep grid connection cost for all scenarios was developed Least Cost (Gx) case is additionally R2-3 billion/yr cheaper compared to Draft IRP 216 Base Case and Carbon Budget case on transmission grid side

40 48 Next Steps and Summary

41 What has not been considered yet that makes Least Cost even cheaper? Further cost reductions in solar PV, wind and battery technologies Solar PV cost were assumed to only decrease 2% by 25 Wind and battery cost were assumed to stay constant until 25 CSP cost were assumed to decrease to only 1.2 R/kWh until 23 (for mid-merit operations) With realistic cost reductions assumed, Least Cost is 25-3% cheaper than the IRP Base Case Increasing penetration of Electric Vehicles (EV) No EV uptake assumed at all With 5 million EVs by 25, a large source of flexible demand is introduced into the system Demand side flexibilisation only marginally considered Only source of flexibility considered: domestic electric warm water provision With all heat/cool & pumping load made flexible, large source of flexible demand can be introduced 49 Transmission grid expansion for distributed power generators less costly Transmission grid costs assumed to be equal for all scenarios Preliminary costing: transmission for Least Cost additionally R2-3 billion per year cheaper

42 Summary: A mix of solar PV, wind and flexible power generators is least cost It is cost-optimal to aim for >7% renewable energy share by 25 Solar PV, wind and flexible power generators (e.g. gas, CSP, hydro, biogas, demand response) are the cheapest new-build mix for the South African power system There is no technical limitation to solar PV and wind penetration over the planning horizon until 25 Clean and least-cost is not a trade-off anymore: South Africa can de-carbonise its electricity sector at negative carbon-avoidance cost The Least Cost mix is >R7 billion per year cheaper by 25 than the current Draft IRP 216 Base Case Additionally, Least Cost mix reduces CO 2 emissions by 55% (-1 Mt/yr) over Draft IRP 216 Base Case 5 Note: Wind and solar PV would have to be 5% more expensive than assumed before the IRP Base Case and the Least Cost case break even Sources: CSIR analysis
