Due to the uncertainty over the planning horizon, some assumptions are made regarding demand projections and the economic outlook. After consideration of the Energy White Paper and the regulatory policy framework, the current electricity generation, transmission and distribution sectors are appraised, in terms of the challenges confronting these sectors. • Security of supply standards are set for generation and transmission (in terms of supply adequacy) and interventions are proposed that are necessary to achieve the respective adequacy measures, given projections about demand growth. Other interventions proposed include accelerated DSM, the acceleration of RTS, transmission expansion, universal access to electricity (for households, schools and clinics), REDS and IPPs. • The Master Plan needs to be reviewed regularly and the proposed period is at least 3 years, to ensure that it is implementable and that it stays relevant to the challenges facing the electricity sector Page 3 Department of Minerals and Energy Energy Security Master Plan - Electricity Glossary Item Definition ASGISA Accelerated and Shared Growth Initiative BEE Black Economic Empowerment BWO Black Woman Owned CCGT Combined Cycle Gas Turbine CDM Clean Development Mechanism CFBC Circulating Fluidized Bed Combustion CEE Commercial Energy Efficiency CLM Commercial Load Management CUE Cost of Unserved Energy DG Distributed Generation DSM Demand Side Management EDI Electricity Distribution Industry EIA Environmental Impact Assessment EWP Energy White Paper ESCO Energy Services Company FGD Flue Gas Desulphurisation IEP Integrated Energy Plan IPP Independent Power Producers ISEP Integrated Strategic Energy Plan LNG Liquefied Natural Gas LP Gas Liquefied Petroleum Gas MEE Mining Energy Efficiency MLM Mining Load Management MTS Main Transmission Substation

He holds a Master’s degree in International Affairs from the Institut d’Etudes Politiques (Sciences Po) of Grenoble, France as well as a Master’s degree in Energy and Environment Economics from the Grenoble Faculty of Economics, France. 2 Bhavna Deonarain is a Researcher in the Sustainable Growth team at Trade & Industrial Policy Strategies (TIPS). She holds a Master’s degree in Development and Governance from the University of Duisburg-Essen in Germany. Abstract The energy landscape in Southern Africa has been rapidly evolving over the last decades. An economy-wide transition to sustainability is underway, with energy at its core. In addition, a progressive movement of regional integration with numerous energy-related initiatives is taking place, principally through the Southern African Power Pool (SAPP). At the same time, electricity supply industries in the region are restructuring, with the emergence of independent power producers and increased individualism. These dynamics call for a renewed approach to regional electricity integration in support of sustainable energy development and a critical analysis of regional electricity dynamics with the aim of improving regional sustainability.

  • The Inga Hydropower Projects and Related Electrification of African Households
    The Inga Hydropower Projects and related Electrification of African Households Baruti B. Amisi School of Built Environment and Development Studies University of KwaZulu-Natal, Durban, South Africa 3 March 2015 – University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Main Argument • Inga 1 and 2, and by extension IPHs, have the potential to improve the standard of living of Congolese households if managed professionally. However, in their current forms, they further impoverish and under-develop the same people that they were initially intended to assist in theory. This misappropriation of benefits reinforces the differences between the actual winners (local socio-economic and political elites and their allies) and the actual losers (the affected clans, ordinary Congolese citizens and SMMEs). 2 Outline of the presentation • Historical background of the Inga Hydropower Projects (IHPs) • Lessons from Inga 1 and 2 • Interpretations of IHPs from various stakeholders • Grand Inga and the development of Africa • Implications of Inga 1 and 2 experiences for the Power Africa Initiative 3 I. Historical background Geographic locations of IHPs 4 I. Historical background • Initial justification of IHPs – Supplying hydroelectricity to local households – Creating direct and indirect employment – Supporting local SMMEs and industrialisation – Development the DRC • IHPs – Inga 1 and 2 – Further developments of the Inga Falls as Grand Inga or Inga 4 through different phases • SICAI (Société Italo-Congolaise de Développement Industriel) recommendations suggest that: – Inga 1 and 2 should prioritise local market to industrialise the DRC; and thereafter explore the export market. 5 I. Historical background In practice, Inga 1 and 2 supply electricity to the SADC region and Mining in Katanga without transparency around the revenues.

  • Keith Gottschalk Is a Decisions and Choices
    THE JOURNAL OF THE HELEN SUZMAN FOUNDATION | ISSUE 77 | NOVEMBER 2015 The Case for Non- nuclear Power Options Intelligent persons, such as liberals supporting the Helen Suzman Foundation, often hold a range of views on complex issues, especially where more than one criterion is involved, and where some criteria may not be easily quantified. Newspaper editorials have criticized the Government’s abuse of secrecy – what democracy classifies its future electricity plans as secret? – as it proceeds with its programme to build six to nine extra atomic power reactors totalling 9600 MW of electricity. The reason for secrecy is defensive: these plans cannot stand up to scrutiny for economic rationality. This is one requirement for the constitutionality of state Keith Gottschalk is a decisions and choices. political scientist at the University of the Western Joseph Schumpeter’s famous phrase about capitalism and entrepreneurship acting as Cape. “perennial gales of creative destruction” reminds us that the cost-effective blend of power generation varies during each decade. From the 1990s, imported hydropower would have been South Africa’s cheapest electricity source. From the 2000s, imported gas could vie with imported hydropower. During the 2010s, solar power, both photovoltaic and concentrated solar power with storage, could start to be added to the cost-optimal mix. The tell-tale give-away of economic irrationality in the Government’s grim determination to rebuild PW Botha’s atomic industry is that it is utterly price inelastic: 9600 MW regardless of the supply-side revolution noted above. Gaps and Silences Public debate on security of electricity shows extraordinary gaps and silences.

  • Investigations Into the Upgrading of Transmission Lines from Hvac to Hvdc
    INVESTIGATIONS INTO THE UPGRADING OF TRANSMISSION LINES FROM HVAC TO HVDC by Pathmanathan Naidoo (BEng Electrical, MBA, PrEng SMIEEE, SMSAIEE, MIET) Student Registration Number: 861864146 A thesis submitted in fulfillment ofthe requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Electrical Engineering in the School ofElectrical, Electronic and Computer Engineering Faculty ofEngineering University ofKwaZulu-Natal South Africa Date ofSubmission: September 2007 Supervisors Professor N. M. Ijumba (PhD, PrEng, CEng) Or. D. Muftic (PrEng) The University of Kwa Zulu-Natal Abstract Emanating from the proceedings of CIGRE 2004, a new idea for higher power transmission by recycling and up rating high voltage alternating current transmission lines for high voltage direct current application was presented at the HYDC working group session. To date, there is no known application ofthe idea. Globally, transmission congestion, power transfer bottlenecks with restricted and limited power transfers and unobtainable servitudes challenge electric power utilities. The literature review shows that since the early sixties, several authors have studied this proposal. However, no applications were done. Admittedly, early HYDC technology was troubled by problems with multi-terminal designs, external insulation breakdown in the presence of DC stress and mercury valve rectifiers struggled with arc backs. To date, power electronic and external insulation technology has grown and matured for confident application both in point to point and multi-terminal application. The economic costs of introducing the DC technology are also more affordable given reducing prices due to higher volume of purchases. With promising developments in insulation and power electronic technology and driven by South Africa's surging growth in the consumption of electrical energy; the subject of upgrading HYAC transmission for HYDC application is revisited.

  • The Fantasy of the Grand Inga Hydroelectric Project on the River Congo
    water Article The Fantasy of the Grand Inga Hydroelectric Project on the River Congo Jeroen Warner *, Sarunas Jomantas, Eliot Jones, Md. Sazzad Ansari and Lotje de Vries Sociology of Development and Change, Social Sciences Group, Wageningen University, 6706KN Wageningen, The Netherlands; [email protected] (S.J.); [email protected] (E.J.); [email protected] (M.S.A.); [email protected] (L.d.V.) * Correspondence: [email protected] or [email protected] Received: 5 May 2018; Accepted: 3 January 2019; Published: 26 February 2019 Abstract: The Congo River is the deepest in the world and second-longest in Africa. Harnessing its full hydropower potential has been an ongoing development dream of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and its more powerful regional allies. If completed, the Grand Inga complex near Kinshasa, the capital of the DRC, will be the largest dam project in the world. Its eight separate dams (Inga 1–8) are envisioned to be “lighting up and powering Africa”. Opponents claim, however, that the rewards will be outsourced to corporate mining interests rather than meeting the needs of the local population, and that the project is flawed economically, socially and environmentally. The planned construction of the Inga dams and associated infrastructure has been stuck in limbo since it was mooted in the 1960s; a fantasy rather than a reality. This article attempts to analyse the rivalry underlying the Grand Inga scheme beyond the “pro” and “contra” reports. Embracing Lacanian psychoanalysis and triangulating multiple sources, we seek to unmask Grand Inga as a potent fantasy. Whilst exhibiting its purpose to serve as a screen to protect both proponents of and opponents to the dam from encountering their own self-deception, we conclude the scheme to be at its most powerful whilst the dream remains unfulfilled.

A F D CR (3) 11-013 Final Report CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION The Preparatory Survey on Rural Electrification Development Works in the Republic of Angola Conclusion and Recommendation Final Report CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION This preparatory survey is planned from August 2010 to January 2012. This preparatory survey is The Preparatory Survey on Rural Electrification Development Works including Feasibility Study (FS) of Cutato HPS (Hydro Power Station). As the result of survey, Cutato HPS can be feasible to be executed from viewpoints of technology, economy and environment. Conclusion and Recommendation are shown below. Conclusion 1. Necessity and Expected Result of the Project (1) Necessity of the Project Maximum electricity supply has been increased more than 10% after termination of the civil war in 2002. In the year of 2008, installed capacity was 1,258 MW and maximum electricity supply was 4,050 GWh. The yearly electricity production, in 2008 has been rapidly increased by 23% from 2007. The average yearly electricity production from 2010 to 2016 is estimated 13%/year. Electric supply in Angola is almost restricted to urban areas. Rural electrification rate of villages is very low, 30.4% and more rural electrification is to be expanded. However, besides governmental electricity company of Angola (ENE: National Electricity Company), consumers have generation facilities by themselves around 900 MW to 1,200 MW and all of them are diesel generation facilities.

  • Energy Trading and the Southern African Power Pool 10
    Power Generation in Southern Africa: Energy Trading and the Southern African Power Pool 397 10X Power Generation in Southern Africa: Energy Trading and the Southern African Power Pool This Chapter reviews power generation and energy trading arrangements that exist in southern Africa. The Chapter also considers the operations and workings of the Southern African Power Pool. The Southern African Power Pool (SAPP) was created in April 1995 through the Southern African Development Community (SADC) treaty that was signed to optimize the use of available energy resources amongst the countries in the region and support one another during emergencies. At the time of creation, the SADC governments agreed to allow their national power utilities to enter into the necessary agreements that regulate the establishment and operation of the SAPP. SAPP membership was therefore restricted to national power utilities of the SADC member states as stipulated in the Inter- Governmental Memorandum of Understanding (IGMOU). In the Revised IGMOU of 23 February 2006, SAPP membership was extended to include other Electricity Supply Enterprises within the SADC region. 10.1 Structure and Governing Documents There are four legal documents covering the rights and obligations of the SAPP members and participants: (i.) Inter-governmental memorandum of understanding (IGMOU) that grants permission for the utilities to participate in the SAPP and enter into contracts, and guarantees the financial and technical performance of the power utilities. The original document was signed in 1995 by SADC members, excluding the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Madagascar, Mauritius and Seychelles. All the SADC countries, with the exception of Madagascar, Mauritius and Seychelles, signed the Revised IGMOU on 23 February 2006.
