  1. Electricity Service Delivery Plan(ESDP)FORAmajuba District Municipality Compiled By: C & V Consulting Engineers 167 Burger Street Pietermaritzburg Tel: 033-3424658 Fax: 033-3424648 E-mail: pieter@candv.co.za May 2005

  2. BACK GROUND TO ESDP • In 1999 the National Electrification Fund was established and is funds from a budget determined annually as part of budgetary process. • The National Electrification Co-ordination Committee was also established to consider issues relevant to legislation, funding, planning, monitoring and evaluate of the National Electrification Plan (NEP) aimed at achieving universal access to basic energy services that are affordable. • At the same time changes in Local and National Government spheres took place. • Municipal Structures Act, Act 117 of 1998 indicates that provision of electricity supply is a District Municipal function • Planning for Electrification is best handled at District Municipality level but implementation clearly has significant impact on Local Municipalities.

  3. PURPOSE OF Electricity Service Delivery Plan (ESDP) To formulate a rational basis for extending the grid and non-grid electricity service supply to the population of the Amajuba District Municipality within a short a time as possible within the national as well as provincial electrification guidelines and budget available

  4. ELECTRIFICATION IN NATIONAL CONTEXT • In 2000 White paper from Department of Minerals and Energy (DME) laid down the guidelines for new electrification policy • Government commits itself to implementing measures to progressively realize Universal Access to electricity • Government will co-ordinate electrification programme • National Electrification Fund will subsidize portion of capital cost of connections made towards meeting electrification target • NER will regulate electricity tariffs

  5. TASKS OF NATIONAL ELECTRIFICATION PROGAMME (White Paper 2000) • Universal access to electricity by 2010 (Grid or Non-Grid) • 350 000 household connections per annum • Cost to be contained to R 3000 per connection (National average) • Catch-up on rural areas, schools and clinics • Implementation of appropriate suite of supply options • Provide free basic service as a means of poverty alleviation • To do 350 000 household connections, 1700 schools and 100 clinics per annum require R 1.2 Billion per annum

  6. ELECTRIFICATION INSTITUTIONAL RESPONSIBILITIES • Department of Minerals and Energy (DME) responsible for electrification. • National Government provide the budget for Electrification via DME. • DME appointed ESKOM and other licensed suppliers as implementing agents for Electrification. • DME set the priorities and Gazette the annual electrification plan. ESKOM and other license holders only implements the plan. • Eletricity Service Delivery Planning Unit looks after prioritizing Nationally • IDP’s informed by Sectorial Electrification plans are used to set the priorities related to the allocation of electrification projects by DME. • The planning cycle related to electrification planning is 18 Months. Project identification need to be done two years in advance • Projects will not be included into the DME electrification plan without a resolution from the relevant District Municipality EXCO • From 2006/2007 financial year DPLG will be taking over the electrification responsibilities.

  7. NATIONAL ELECTRIFICATION PERFORMANCE 2002/2003 • Overview of performance for the year 2002/2003 from DME annual report: • Budget • Physicals:

  8. NATIONAL ELECTRIFICATION PERFORMANCE 2002/2004 • Overview of performance for the year 2002/2004:

  9. NATIONAL ELECTRIFICATION PERFORMANCE 2002/2004 • Overview of performance for the year 2002/2004:

  10. NATIONAL ELECTRIFICATION PERFORMANCE 2002/2004 • Overview of performance for the year 2002/2004:

  11. NATIONAL ELECTRIFICATION BUDGET COMPARED TO ACTUAL DATA • The above can be analyzed as follows: • Number of household connections decreased by 20% per annum. • On average the cost per connection has increased by 20% per annum. • Schools & clinics has increased by 10% in 2003/2004 but still 40% below target • Less money was allocated than required to meet base data figures.

  12. KWAZULU NATAL ACHIEVEMENTS 2003/2004 (info for 2002/2003 not available) • It is evident that the cost for electrification in KZN is 33% higher than the national average. • KwaZulu Natal DME electrification area include 56 Local Municipality areas. • On average each Local Municipality received ±560 connections.

  13. Amajuba District Municipality achievements 2002 to 2004 • The above can be analyzed as follows: • The electrification backlog was reduced by 55% from 19 571 to 8771 households. • 1800 household connections per annum per LM was achieved. Including Utrecht which have a very small backlog. • Amajuba District Municipality exceeded the provincial achievements per Local Municipality of 560 connections by more than 3 times . • Amajuba District Municipality is not a nodal zone. Nodal zones receives preference which makes this achievement more significant.

  14. NATIONAL ELECTRIFICATION NORMS AND GUIDELINES • Total energy needs to be addressed with appropriate technologies.(Grid as well as Non Grid electrification) • Non grid = solar power (lighting) & LP Gas or other fuel (cooking). • Pilot projects to establish technology still in progress. No large scale role-out to date. • Non Grid electrification could be a temporary solution. • Grid electrification funding limit for 2004/2005 was set at R3600/connection and for KZN R 5348/connection (average). • The average cost per household connection achieved in KZN during 2003/2004 was R 5600. • The national cost for Non-grid electrification is set at R4500 per household connection. • Areas exceeding funding criteria per consumer will be considered Non Grid electrification areas. • Electrification funding included internal networks but exclude bulk supply line costs. • Schools and farm worker housing forms part of electrification.

  15. ELECTRICITY PROVISION WITHIN Amajuba District Municipality • Based on the electrification program performance analyses of the past two years (nationally and provincially) we derived the following criteria to be applied to this ESDP: • Although the national non-grid cost is set at R 4500 per household connection, the cut-off limit between grid and non-grid is set at R6720 per household (Kwazulu Natal 2003/2004 average Plus 20%) for this ESDP. • Bulk Electrical Infrastructure creation via the electrification of schools and clinics was identified as a key element to ensure that possible grid areas without bulk supply receive a bulk supply lines to enable future electrification. • A schools electrification plan was developed which were informed by the electrification needs. • Grid electrification projects were scheduled using 800 plus household connections per Local Municipality per annum. • Future housing projects in the rural backlog areas need to be identified by the Local Municipalities. It is still not clear if these will be new or what percentage will be upgrades of existing structures. This remains to be resolved.

  16. ESDP FRAMEWORK • Determine the status quo regarding electrification. • Determine the backlog using the Help Data base and other GIS household data. • Unpack backlog areas into project areas. • Calculate area and household density of project areas. • Adjust household density to consumer density by comparing with areas already electrified if necessary. • Divide into grid and non grid electrification using selection criteria. • Schedule grid electrification projects into priorities using network capabilities and consumer density as selection criteria. • Schedule non grid electrification projects into priorities giving preference to areas with less grid electrification. • Calculate distance of all schools from the existing lines and derive a schools and clinics electrification plan which is informed by the grid electrification planning needs.

  17. BACKLOG WITHIN Amajuba District Municipality

  18. FUTURE ELECTRIFICATION PROCESS • Electrification process is in a state of change. • ESKOM budget allocation was reduced from 30 000 to 12000 household connections for KZN in 2005/2006. • This reduction resulted in only projects that was already committed being implemented. No new projects. • The reason for this cut is due the change over from DME to DPLG. • From the 2006/2007 financial year electrification and bulk infrastructure creation funding will form part of the MIG program. • Funding will be allocated to Local and District Municipalities with the necessary capacity to run own electrification program. • The importance of an up to date ESDP will increase. • Due to the uncertainty about funding allocation project will be prioritized by priority only not by date. • As funding is made available the next priority per LM will be project that will be done. • Once more information is available the plan will have to be adjusted.

  19. ELECTRIFICATION ALLOCATIONS FOR 2005/2006

  20. STATUS QUO REGARDING REDS • Process started in 1992 • Blue Print was completed – May 2001 • Establish Holding Company – June 2003 • 6 REDs (Regional Electricity Distributors) will be established to take over from ESKOM and the Local Municipalities as Licenses suppliers of electricity. • RED 1 Western will be the first to be established in June 2005. • RED 5 Eastern will be next at the end of 2005. • Currently they are busy ring fencing the EDBs in ESKOM and the LMs. • Once the RED is in place then the electrification funding will go the District and/or Local Municipality to facilitate electrification with RED.

  21. REDS BOUNDARIES

  22. REDS PROCESS

  23. ELECTRICITY BASIC SUPPORT SERVICES TARIFF (EBSST) • Minister of Minerals and Energy submitted memorandum to Cabinet in January 2001 with following recommendations: • 1. Basic supply be made available to all households. • 2. The allocation be set at 50kWh per household per month. • 3. Cost be funded from ‘equitable share’. • 4. Must be planned with relevant stakeholders (Local Government & ESKOM) • Problems between ESKOM, DPLG and Local Municipalities delays implementation. • EBSST role-out is the responsibility of the Local Municipality. • District Municipality assist with technical assistance. • LM to decide who qualify or not and has an audit responsibility. • ESKOM consumer base not accurate or complete. A survey is recommended. • Provide ESKOM with your list of consumers to be provided with electricity and pay them for actual consumption on proven cost basis only.

  24. THE WAY FORWARD • Arrange meetings with each LM Technical Director and obtain project information and future project plans. • Arrange meetings with Service providers and obtain the same information. (ESKOM, DPLG, Land Affairs, Agriculture, etc.) • Prepare project scheduling. • Obtain ESKOM network capability reports and discuss project prioritisation with in accordance with network capabilities. • Arrange workshop with DM counsilors and LM representative to present plan and agree priorities.

  25. RECOMMENDED WORKSHOP GOAL • That the District Municipality Councilors and Local Municipality representatives accept the following: • That the ESDP was explained to them. • They agree with the project prioritization as discussed and agreed. • Backlog electrification need to receive priority of housing projects where possible. • To discuss housing project scheduling as well as the extent of future housing projects within the LM and DM structures to agree on a consolidated and achievable housing project list.
