To meet this goal, the United States and its partners recognized the public and private sectors would need to work together to rethink and rewrite the rules for moving energy deals forward in Africa. Power Africa is working in partnership with African governments to make this happen. Thanks to Power Africa, new power projects have already brought thousands of additional megawatts of cleaner electricity to sub-Saharan Africa. Our public and private sector partners are harnessing the continent’s abundant energy resources — including solar, wind, hydropower, geothermal, and natural gas. In conjunction with Power Africa, African governments and their partners are connecting homes and businesses, farms and schools, clinics, and communities to electricity grids or providing off-grid electricity and modern cooking solutions. But our success is measured in more than just megawatts and connections. Today, Power Africa comprises a diverse coalition of public and private sector partners who are committed to investing in Africa’s future and working tirelessly to deliver on their commitments and ensure their efforts have an impact on millions of lives. The U.S. Government, the African Development Bank, the World Bank Group and the Governments of Sweden, the European Union, Norway, and the United Kingdom have committed to leverage substantial financial resources and technical expertise to expand Power Africa’s work across the continent. Building on Power Africa’s vision and leadership, a number of new initiatives have emerged that seek to address Africa’s energy challenges and further accelerate progress towards our shared goal of expanding energy access. We know that there is no silver bullet or quick fix to solving Africa’s energy challenges, but we are committed to working together with African leaders to unlock Africa’s vast energy potential – proving that our partnership- driven model is working. 2 The partnerships we have developed are fundamentally changing the way energy deals are done in Africa. By strengthening the investment climate across sub-Saharan Africa and increasing the capacity of African governments and utilities to develop and manage their domestic energy sectors, we are helping catalyze the investments of private companies across the continent. Our approach builds on the priorities laid out in the Africa Power Vision, developed by the African Union’s New Partnership for Africa’s Development and endorsed by African governments in 2014. In 2015, the world adopted the new Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which include a commitment to ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable, and modern energy for all. Power Africa’s partnership with the joint World Bank and United Nations Sustainable Energy for All (SE4All) initiative supports this goal. The African Development Bank recently developed a New Deal on Energy for Africa and a Transformative Partnership on Energy for Africa, to accelerate universal access to energy in Africa, complementing our joint efforts to meet the energy needs of millions of people. Our combined efforts to scale up access to cleaner electricity will also help mitigate climate change and enhance resilience to climate shocks, both of which are important for the implementation of the historic Agreement to Combat Climate Change, reached in Paris at COP-21 in December 2015. Power Africa lays out a clear path for African governments to create the kind of legal, policy, and regulatory environment that will encourage accelerated and sustainable investment and growth in Africa’s energy sector for generations to come. With new and increasing commitments to finance electricity in Africa and stronger political will to drive universal access to energy, our collective efforts will help power the continent. This Roadmap illustrates how the Power Africa model is working and can be expanded so our aspirational goals can ultimately be achieved, ensuring that no one is left behind. It reaffirms our shared commitment to double access to electricity across sub-Saharan Africa, with renewed confidence in our ability to deliver on our promise. As we move forward, we will continue to work hand-in-hand with our partners in Africa, to bring affordable, reliable, and sustainable power to the millions of people who currently lack access to electricity. BARACK OBAMA AKINWUMI ADESINA JIM KIM President of the United States African Development Bank Group World Bank Group 3 ABOUT THE ROADMAP This Roadmap shows how the collective efforts of Power Africa’s more than 120 public and private sector partners fit together to achieve our ambitious goal of adding 30,000 megawatts (MW) and 60 million connections in sub-Saharan Africa by 2030. The Roadmap outlines Power Africa’s three strategic pillars: Generation, Connections, and Unlocking Energy Sector Potential. These three pillars will help our partners to accelerate energy transactions by working with African governments to create the policy, legal, and regulatory frameworks needed to attract private sector investment in the energy sector. This Roadmap does not provide a comprehensive breakdown of all Power Africa activities in every country, of every potential transaction, or of every partners’ activities. Rather, it highlights work that Power Africa’s partners are engaged in all over sub-Saharan Africa to illustrate the broader, strategic, and collective effort that is required to implement and sustain our stated goals and objectives. It provides energy practitioners, academics, politicians, development partners, and other interested parties with insight on how electricity access in sub-Saharan Africa can be doubled if all stakeholders work together to advance that common goal. Through greater coordination, we will be able to leverage our diverse tools and expertise, ensure coherence, and avoid duplication of effort, maximizing our reach and impact across the continent. The Roadmap offers a tangible plan for how to make our common vision of an economically vibrant sub-Saharan Africa a reality by developing Africa’s rich and abundant energy resources in a rapid, transparent, inclusive, and sustainable manner.

  • South Africa Yearbook 2013/2014 Energy
    SOUTH AFRICA YEARBOOK 2013/14 The Department of Energy (DoE) places emphasis on broadening electricity supply technologies to include gas and imports, as well as nuclear, biomass and renewable energy Energy resources (wind, solar and hydro), to meet the country’s future electricity needs and reduce its carbon-dioxide (CO₂) emissions. In 2013, Cabinet approved the new Household Electrifi cation Strategy, which will ensure that electricity is supplied to all households. New installations will take the form of renewables, with 220 000 grid connections and 215 000 non-grid connections planned for 2013. Goals beyond 2020 include contracting more than 20 000 megawatts (MW) of renewable energy, including an increasing share from regional hydro-electricity. About 11 000 MW of Eskom’s older coal-powered stations will be decommissioned, but close to 6 000 MW of new coal capacity will be contracted – part of it from other southern African countries. South Africa has committed to attain substantial reductions in CO₂ emissions by 2025. The country supports research, technology development and special measures aimed at environmentally sustainable economic growth. Legislation and policies The DoE derives its mandate from the White Paper on Energy Policy, 1998, the White Paper on Renewable Energy, 2003, and the National Energy Effi ciency Strategy. The following legislation regulates the energy sector: • The National Energy Act, 2008 (Act 34 of 2008) ensures that diverse energy resources are available in sustainable quantities and at affordable prices in South Africa. In addition, the Act provides for the increased use of renewable energies, contingency energy supplies, the holding of strategic energy feedstock and carriers, and adequate investment in energy infrastructure.

  • Strategically Important Developments Eskom PBMR Transnet
    Strategically Important Developments Eskom PBMR Transnet May 2007 Strategically Important Developments in the Republic of South Africa INTRODUCTION The Department of Public Enterprises (DPE) together with the Department of Environmental Affairs and Tourism (DEAT) is working towards streamlining the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) procedures within South Africa, such that these do not delay the completion of critical infrastructure development initiatives which are of particular importance to economic growth within the country. It was perceived that many of those critical infrastructure development projects underpin the attainment of the economic growth targets as enshrined in the Accelerated and Shared Growth Initiative for South Africa (ASGISA). For a development to classify as a Strategically Important Development (SID), it is considered that it should possess a demonstrable or potentially significant contribution to the national economy. This acknowledges the over-riding importance of the economic growth targets as enshrined in the ASGISA. However, in the South African context, other possible characteristics may also contribute to the classification of a proposed development as a SID. These include the potential for Broad- Based Black Economic Empowerment (B-BBEE), and perhaps also the contribution to a regional or local economy, as opposed to the national economy. The first of these is self-evident, while the second addresses the desire to ensure economic development in specific areas of South Africa. The existing portfolios of the eight State-owned Enterprises under the DPE These are Alexkor; Denel; Eskom; the Pebble Bed Modular Reactor (PBMR); Broadband InfraCo, South African Airways (SAA); SAFCOL; and Transnet were considered, and SIDs were identified within the development programmes of three of these (Eskom; Pebble Bed Modular Reactor and Transnet).
