Develop a funding mechanism for upgrading of existing refineries to ensure they meet new fuel- quality standards Work has commenced and IEP addresses the question of new refining capacity. The MTSF target of approval by June 2015 has passed. New plans with proposed dates required.

Department of Energy Commitment under Outcome 9 and 10 Focuses on the 2014 – 2019 MTSF period and as refined in 2015/16 FY Reflects all the outcomes, sub-outcomes, key actions, indicators and targets – as articulated in the MTSF – and not the whole of Department of Energy’s work Draws from PoA 2014/14 , 2015/16 and 2016/17 (1st quarter) progress reports for Outcome 10

MTSF Priorities under Outcome 9 Impact Indicator MTSF Target Progress as per Q1 2016/17 Members of society have sustainable and reliable access to basic services: 1.4 million additional House Holds (HHs) connected; Good progress is being made with electricity both grid and non-grid connections. 105 000 additional HHs connected

Progress on MTSF Priorities under Outcome 10 Action Indicator MTSF 2018 target Progress Analysis (2014/15, 2015/16 and 2016/17 1st quarter DPME Comments Strategic Policy/ Regulatory frameworks and programmes to promote a low carbon economy Percentage of new build that is renewable power generation 42% (or 17 800 MW) by 2030 for renewable energy No progress report to date Work done is reported at working Group 10 level Expand use of renewable energy through off-grid electrification Number of solar home systems (PV) installed 105 000 39 700 Significant progress made Increasing energy efficiency Percentage of energy efficiency improvement 12% by 2015 23.7% improvements achieved Target exceeded Annual Energy Balances Annual Energy Balances tables for SA published in accordance with International Energy Agency Guidelines (with two year lag) 5 Energy Balance Tables for 2012 published Target achieved Energy Balance tables for 2013 finalised for publishing Project behind schedule

Performance Assessment (1) The Department of Energy, in line with the Cabinet Lekgotla recommendations must submit the revised Integrated Energy Plan and the Integrated Resource Plan in the 2nd quarter 2016/17 Continues to create uncertainty in the energy market The development and implementation of a Gas Infrastructure Master Plan need to be fast tracked Slow progress on the gas to power initiative as well as the conversion of OCGT’s from diesel to gas must be accelerated and have clear timeframes in place National Coal Policy with regulations that will include a strategy to secure coal supply is lagging behind, there is a need for the Department to fast track policy development. The Coal base-load IPP rollout continues to be delayed. Overall private sector participation is critical and will be an important contribution towards meeting electricity demand

Performance Assessment (2) A funding model for upgrading existing refineries is behind the MTSF target Funding for key infrastructure projects through the fiscus remain constrained under the current economic environment Development towards firmer commitments and clearer private sector participation proposals are required at least for key large infrastructure projects in the energy space Although DOE exceeded its target of 12% by 11.7% on percentage of energy efficiency improvement in 2015/16 FY, new commitments/ targets for the remainder of the MTSF is required Significant progress has been made by DoE in the installation of solar home systems (PVC). To date the department is sitting at 39 700 against a target of 105 000 by 2019 Progress on publishing energy balances for 2013 is lagging behind since the departments missed the March 2016 deadline. This might impact on the timeous publications of subsequent energy balances to come.

Performance Assessment (3) Some of the MTSF indicators such as establishment of an independent system operator and an indicator to improve governmental support for combating illegal use of electricity has been removed from the reporting template making it difficult to monitor progress as per the MTSF Continue to commend the department on the successful implementation of the Renewable Independent Power Producers (REIPP) More than R13bn of funding supported by the IDC for the REIPP Attracted just under R200bn foreign direct investment in the REIPP programme Resulting in 6 327 MW of renewable energy procured thus far

Recommendations It is recommended that the department produce a recovery plan for the indicators where target dates have passed Proper channels for refining the MTSF indicators were opened but the department never refined their MTSF target. It is therefore recommended that the department adheres to the Cabinet processes. Including aligning the MTSF and the Nine Point Plan, particularly on the Solar Water Heater commitments The department should highlight when submitting the quarterly reports to the Cabinet, any blockages hindering or delaying progress and to act on the recommendations by Cabinet timeously In addressing poor attendance with regard to participation in the outcome 10 implementation forums; attendance is crucial for the coordination and collaboration of the sector’s efforts and work towards achieving the vision of the NDP on ensuring environmental sustainability
