Chairman’s Statement

Mr Greg TosenPIESA Board ChairmanEskom, South Africa

It is most encouraging to report on growth of PIESA membership with a new member Kenya Power and Lighting Co Ltd and two new affiliate members Aberdare Cables and Circuit Breaker Industries. We were disappointed to receive a resignation from Swaziland Electricity Board and hope that this will not remain a permanent decision.

The PIESA Board met on two occasions during the financial year. The Annual General Meeting followed by a Board meeting were hosted by Uganda Electricity Distribution Company in Kampala. The second Board meeting hosted by Eskom was held in Richards Bay after the Board Members had attended the AMEU Technical Conference.

The PIESA was represented at a number of conferences during the year. Two papers were presented at the Power Africa Conference in Johannesburg being “Electrification in Africa Through Shared Technology” and “ Infrastructure to Support Reliable Power Supply, the Role of Standards and Standardisation”. A paper was presented at the EAPIC Conference in Nairobi on “PIESA Standard 1048 Power Quality”.

The PIESA was formally represented at the official launch and Constitutive Assembly of the SADC Business Forum in Johannesburg and at the SADCSTAN Annual Meeting in Mauritius. I represented PIESA at the Fourth International Electricity Research Exchange Council General Meeting in Poland and was honoured to receive the IERE Annual Award for technology development in Africa and contributions to the IERE. Agreement in principle has been reached between the IERE and PIESA to hold a combined workshop to be known as an Africa Forum in Zambia in 2007.

Two training workshops were held during the year. A course on Standardisation Training for the Standardisation Working Group and interested persons from industry was held at the Kafue Gorge Regional Training Centre. A course on Distribution Protection was held for the Power Systems Analysis Working Group in Johannesburg. A one day workshop was held in Malawi with the Standardisation Working Group, Engineers from ESCOM Malawi and representatives from the Malawi Standards Board.

As reported last year PIESA signed a Declaration of Intent with SADCSTAN to work towards a Memorandum of Understanding to establish a framework for co-operation on standardisation. What has subsequently been signed is a “Statement of Technical Co-operation between the Southern African Development Community Co-operation in Standardisation (SADCSTAN) and the Power Institute for East and Southern Africa (PIESA)

Concerning Co-operation in Harmonization of Standards”. Presently being developed in support of this Technical Co-operation Agreement is a draft for “Procedures for the Consideration of Standards Prepared by PIESA as Harmonised Regional Standards”.

Even though the SAPP has a focus on transmission level electricity trading and the PIESA has a focus on distribution and electrification development there has been further communication between the two organisations to ensure that there is no conflict of interests. It is recognised that occasions could arise in the areas of technical standards and environmental practices that would need input from both organisations.

The detail work in PIESA continues to be done by the five working groups which deal with Standardisation, Low Cost Electrification, Reduction of Non-technical and Revenue Losses, Power Systems Analysis and the Environment. Participation in these working groups enables Affiliate Members to make non-propriety contributions. Visible outputs external to PIESA are the production of PIESA Standards which are formally approved by the PIESA Management Board before public release.

The progress of the working groups has been mainly restricted to communication by mail due to the high cost of travel in the region. With this in mind an application for donor funding was made to Programme Manager of the Regional Trade Facilitation Programme but was not successful as the submitted outputs were not accepted within the restricted range of activities for support.

May I thank everyone who assisted in making PIESA accomplish it ’s objectives in the past year particularly the PIESA Board Members and the Members of the five Working Groups for their valuable contributions and commitment and to our Secretariat for their administrative support.

Greg Tosen PIESA Chairman

Profile of PIESA

The Power Institute for East and Southern Africa (PIESA) is a regional power utility association established on 28 February 1998. It aims to improve electrification in the region through sharing of information, experiences, skills, technology, and research to improve the electricity distribution industry. PIESA’s main focus is on technical rationalisation to achieve economies of scale with local manufacturers in an effort to enhance electrification in the region.

PIESA’s membership comprises eight electrical power utilities, three affiliate members and an association of municipal undertakings with observer status. The revised PIESA Constitution now encourages affiliate membership of manufacturers and suppliers of electrical equipment as well as individuals or organisations from academic and research institutions.

A Management Board comprising representatives from member utilities provides policy and direction whilst work activities are conducted through Technical Working Groups. The Technical Working Groups are established as required to address improvements on common issues pertaining to power distribution and electrification. The five current working groups focus on the issues of Standardisation, Low-Cost Electrification, Reduction of Non-technical and Revenue Losses, Power Systems Planning and Environmental Management.

Secretariat and administration services in support of PIESA activities have been contracted out to SAD-ELEC Secretarial Services (Pty) Ltd in Johannesburg.

Standardisation Working Group Mr Paul Johnson Convenor, Eskom, South Africa

The Standardisation Working Group vision is that in Africa, PIESA standards are recognized by electricity distribution utilities, their suppliers, and their funding agencies, as the preferred standards for electricity distribution. The objectives are to ensure that a credible process of consensus for developing distribution standards is in place for PIESA, that there is co-operation and

commitment of utilities and their suppliers for the use of PIESA standards and that there is co-operation with other stakeholders to avoid duplication.

During the year the working group successfully drafted and published four new standards, which were approved by the PIESA Board for publication. The first deals with cable terminations and live conductors within air insulated enclosures. The second deals with corrosion protection of mild steel fabricated equipment. The third deals with ring-main units and the fourth with metal clad switchgear. There are currently six active projects. The PIESA website includes a listing of all finalised and draft specifications. A successful standardisation training course has been developed and the first course took place at the Kafue Gorge Regional Training Centre which was well attended by PIESA members.

The consideration of PIESA published standards has been included in the work programme of the UPDEA Standardisation Study Committee. A MoU is in effect with StanSA for publishing and sale of the approved PIESA standards. In furtherance of establishing regional acceptance and usage of the standards a document has been signed with SADCSTAN titled Statement of Technical Co-operation between the SADC in Standardisation and the PIESA Concerning Co-operation in Harmonisation of Standards.

Low-Cost Electrification Mr Douglas Chitsenga Convenor, ZESA, Zimbabwe

The Low Cost Electrification Working Group have reviewed a number of systems and practices to ascertain those that could be adopted as best practices for the region. Insulated shield wire systems will require considerable research and design before further consideration. The use of single wire earth return systems, distributed generation in grid connected rural networks and the application of load limiters are already in use on various distribution networks. Advanced operating such as distribution automation and the application of dynamic thermal conductor ratings are still under review. It is now intended to do a comparison between insulated and bare overhead conductor systems.

The collection and comparison of established electrification practices throughout the region is ongoing. The focus being on voltage, system and capacity standards as well as construction and structure standards. The sharing of project experiences will identify both cost effective electrification practices and failures.

Electrification schemes can never be shown to be economically viable and do require cross subsidised funding. The working group recognises the need to develop stronger motivations for electrification schemes through load forecasting, network planning, design and costing methodologies specifically focused on the needs of the electrification end user which will require a move away from analysis practices previously used for established urban development reticulation. Operating costs and system losses have a larger impact in the analysis due to spatial networks with low utilization.

Reduction of Non-technical and Revenue Losses Mr Wiseman Kabwazi Convenor, Escom Ltd, Malawi

The Reduction of Non-technical and Revenue Losses Working Group mission is to enhance the financial viability of PIESA distribution industry through the reduction of non technical and revenue losses by setting acceptable and practical standards, procedures and projects. Both these losses account for a large portion of the overall losses in most utilities within the PIESA region.

The main concerns expressed by the working group members are the need to improve the quality of meter readings and the billing systems as well as revenue collection and reducing the arrears payments. In a number of countries the problems are compounded with a lot of old meters in the system and having some unmetered customers. Tampering of meters is still a problem as are illegal connections. Under meter security the working group is still investigating features to make the meter more robust and how to protect the entry cables against tampering and bypassing. A pilot automatic meter reading project has not been implemented due to the lack of funds. Utilities are intending to expand pre-payment metering systems but this will not solve tampering and bypassing.

Solutions have been introduced to reduce the impact of many of the concerns. Better qualified metering staff have been engaged and in some countries the subcontracting of this service to individual women has proved to be a success. Delivery of bills to customers premises has been introduced as have incentives for the payment of arrears. The replacement of old meters is ongoing and has given good financial returns. The introduction of lockable meter boxes has reduced tampering and the introduction of substation metering assists in identifying losses. Internal audits of current and discontinued customers have improved the quality of billing systems.

Environmental Management Ms Gertrude Moreboli Convenor, LEC, Lesotho

The Environmental Management Working Group has developed an environmental policy to provide an environmental framework for the operation of PIESA. The compilation of a Country Specific Environmental Legislation document will help PIESA to have an understanding of the environmental legal frameworks in the region which will have a bearing

on its activities. Members are being encouraged to develop Corporate Environmental Policies to guide the environmental performance of their utilities

PCB Guidelines have been prepared to guide utilities in the handling and disposal electrical equipment and materials contaminated with PCB’s. EIA Guidelines are being prepared to assist member utilities in conducting environmental impact assessments. Wayleave and Servitude Management Guidelines will provide a guide to utilities in the bush clearing and the general management of wayleaves and servitude for both new and existing distribution power lines.

An environmental training needs assessment was conducted to identify the training needs of each utility and, possibly, to help in sourcing training funds. Training needs were compiled, costed and circulated to members for comments. Training in ISO 14001 and Sustainable Development were the key areas identified.

The working group encourages collaboration in research that is of importance to the sustainable utilisation of resources and the minimisation of adverse impacts from operations of power systems. Examples were an Emissions Project to fight global warming covering Zambia, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Tanzania and Botswana and the Kafue River Basin Integrated Environmental Impact Assessment Study

The Environmental Working Group has been tasked to provide country specific environmental information on: climatic conditions, rainfall, altitude, solar radiation, humidity, pollution and wind velocity. This information will guide the Standardisation Working Group in the specification of designs of electrical equipment suitable for environmental conditions existing in various parts of the PIESA region.

Power Systems Analysis Mr Aaron Nyirenda Convenor, ZESCO Ltd, Zambia

The Power Systems Analysis Working Group is a conduit through which existing and new technology can be shared in the region through the identification of particular areas of concern for regional utilities in power systems. The main focus of the working group is to promote skills

development in the region through appropriate training courses in power systems analysis and reduce the utilities’ dependence on imported skills. The working group has been reviewing the various software used by the member utilities to identify whether to negotiate subsidised rates for agreed common software.

A further successful Power Systems Training Course was held during the year dealing with the protection of distributions systems which was attended by all PIESA members. This was a hands-on interactive course enabling the participants to apply the knowledge to improve the performance of their networks.

“Thumbs up for the completion of a successful course.”
