Key Reasons for SANEDIs Establishment

SANEDI SANEDI was conceived for the sole purpose of assisting the State to achieve its strategic objectives, as set out in the

National National Energy Energy Act, Act, 2008 2008 (No (No. 34 34 of

• f 2008

2008), ), i.e. Promote diversification of energy supply; Ensure emerging energy technologies are incubated and commercialised; Ensure appropriate human human capital capital is developed, to support new energy-related industries; Establish a nationally focused energy research, development and innovation sector and undertake undertake energy energy efficiency efficiency measures, measures, with a strong relevance for South Africa, aligned aligned with with State State objectives

Readiness to Implement

SANEDI SANEDI can undertake the functions

currently existing and

• perational entities, SANERI

SANERI and NEEA NEEA, both of which have a local and international presence and branding. SANERI SANERI has also been given establishment grants that have been effectively utilised. Despite limited funding, SANERI SANERI in particular has already created a substantial footprint in the energy sector, with NEEA NEEA rapidly establishing a similar presence. The enabling legislation, the National National Energy Energy Act Act, which clearly

• utlines the functions that SANEDI

SANEDI must undertake with respect to energy R&D R&D and and energy energy efficiency efficiency functions functions, has already been promulgated. Industrial Industrial Energy Energy Efficiency Efficiency Tax Tax Incentives Incentives regulations have been Gazetted, with NEEA tasked to fulfil the M & V Certification Certification process process.

Concerns over current process

Appears to be lack of consultation between drafters of policy and rules, and key stakeholders such as NEEA, SAAE members, BUSA, etc.. Industry and state perspectives perhaps not aligned on role of Eskom in continuing with its unilateral approach to EEDSM. Concerns expressed over level of complexity attached to SOP implementation. Interim arrangements seem superfluous.

10

Proposed Rules

Eskom would be the first to admit limited success in its DSM implementation programme over the past 5 years & should focus on core (G,T,D) business. Global best practice clearly recommends/ supports proposed institutional model for implementing EEDSM. Recommend that the SWH component be removed from the SOP and the current subsidy scheme to continue. Suggest a high-level, multi-stakeholder Management Committee (PMU) be established, to provide inclusive and participative

• versight of programmes deployed!

11

Proposal on next steps

Eskom and DoE need to resolve ultra vires issues regarding MYPD2 allocation. NEEA and Eskom, together with DoE need to resolve scope of SOP, based on recommendations from industry, ESCOs, state departments and relevant entities. Eskom needs to put in place transitional programme, targeting hand over of EEDSM programme prior to MYPD3 tariff deliberations.

12

Interim Recommended Solution

Clearly segment market and allocate an interim ring- fenced activity and appropriate funding to NEEA/ SANEDI, for SOP-implementation, eg. Public Facilities.

• Manage

this through appropriate SLA with DoE and/ or Eskom. Use this as a benchmark for 1 year, to determine appropriate institutional model for implementing EEDSM. Suggest a high-level, multi-stakeholder Management Committee (PMU) be established, to provide inclusive and participative

• versight of programmes deployed!
