2 Eskom is fully supportive of renewable energy generation in South Africa Developing renewable energy in South Africa is important Reduce CO 2 -emissions Mitigate climate change Diversify energy sources Government has taken several important steps to drive renewables deployment Large portion of IRP allocated to renewables Renewable Energy Purchase programme introduced South Africa has excessive resources (especially for solar) Average solar radiation of about 2,300 kWh/m 2 /year Large areas in the Cape with average wind speeds of more than 6 m/s Eskom facilitates the deployment of renewable energy and the ramp up of a renewable energy industry in South Africa

3 Policy and regulatory environment is defined and established Industry restructuring is in process (“ISMO”), but should not hinder the IRP roll out 20 year generation plan with 17 800 MW of renewable generation by 2030 Eskom is committed to facilitating the entry of IPPs and acknowledges the role they play in the South African electricity market Eskom will continue to pursue IPP opportunities and to date have achieved the following: Signed 373 MW of PPAs with IPPs, including Sasol, Sappi, Ipsa Signed short-term PPAs for 470 MW with municipal generators with the aim to extend these agreements for three to five years In the final approval stages for 1 020 MW of peaking power Internal governance approval to sign 1 415.5 MW of renewable energy PPAs subject to PFMA and NERSA approvals Eskom’s commitment to IPPs
