Annual energy gap for 2010 to 2017 under base case outlook, TWh shortfall

SA electricity supply-demand balance will remain tight until 2015 with 2011/2012 the crucial period

Assumptions Eskom estimate of the IRP2010 moderate load forecast (~250 TWh in 2010); Initial expectation of 6 TWh gap in 2010 did not realise due to lower than expected demand; New build (e.g., Medupi, Kusile, Ingula) & RTS at current dates; REFIT as per IRP1 (1 GW by FY2018); DSM as per base plan (3.9 GW by FY2018); Planned maintenance allocation increased to ~10%

9 TWh is equivalent to ~1000 MW base load capacity

The total system load factor is high (±76%) – such a flat profile will require energy rather than load reduction

A number of levers have been identified and explored to help close the gap

Supply Side Levers to help close gap1

•  Eskom Gx performance: improve forced outage rate by 1% by 2012 and 2% in the next 5 years.

•  Increased Gx capacity in existing fleet: There is an opportunity to get about 100MW as existing plant is refurbished by 2012.

• Own-Gen2: Partner with industry to leverage 100MW by 2011 identified by industry (1000MW by 2015 in own-generation options). The key issue is the grid access framework.

• Municipality Gx: unlock existing capacity by assistance & short-term PPA's. Target about 200MW over the next 3 to 5 years.

• Renewables: The renewable feed-in tariff (REFIT) programme is targeting 1025MW by 2013. Government will lead the procurement process and Eskom will be the buyer.

1 Excluding involuntary curtailment of demand or running peaking plant beyond agreed level for MYPD2 tariff 2 Own-Generation includes renewables, co-generation and conventional generation

•  Internal Energy Efficiency: Eskom has a 1 billion kWh programme. A significant portion of this saving is in improving the efficiency of converting coal to electricity.

• Additional Eskom DSM: Deliver on 4.1 TWh by FY 2012/13 by leveraging the existing funding allocation through MYPD2.

• Government SWH: Implement the 1 million Government Solar Water Heating project.

• Demand response: Eskom has secured 2000MW of interruptible load and nearly 500MW of incentive based demand response from large industrial customers. Eskom is targeting a further 500MW by winter 2011 from its smaller industrial and commercial customers. There is a potential to ramp this up to about 2500MW in the entire market (including the residential sector).

Demand Side Levers to help close gap1

Contribution to closing the gap has been identified for each lever in constrained (i.e. funding and resources have been secured but further effort is required) and highly constrained (i.e.

specific barriers yet to be resolved) environments

Even if we deliver against all opportunities, there will still be significant risk of a gap in the early years

Gap

Decisions required • Levers alone are insufficient to close full gap over whole period

•  It is critical that significant work is done to unlock constraints and deliver maximum value on levers identified

• Further measures are still required to bridge the gap in 2011/2012

7

A safety net is needed to close the remaining gap and protect SA in case levers do not deliver

Closing the energy gap

Providing capacity to meet peak demand

In the absence of this system “safety net”, a reduction in planned critical maintenance is the final alternative to national load-shedding A 1% reduction in annual planned outages equates to ~2.3 TWh additional energy available to the system Further postponing critical maintenance creates serious risk to safety of our people and integrity of our assets and is not the preferred option.

•  Legislated energy reduction for the ±500 largest industrial consumers (Eskom and Munics)

•  A 5% energy reduction will yield a 6 TWh energy saving.

•  Encourages movement towards a more energy efficient economy.

•  Some concern around impact on economic growth hence the need to provide time to adapt.

Measures to close the remaining gap

•  By deploying “smart metering” technology options for demand response in the smaller customer segments, customers can participate in responding to energy constraints.

•  These technologies will also provide customers a tool to better manage their demand and reduce costs.

•  Increased operation of OCGTs during critical years •  Increasing the OCGT load factor by 5 percent

provides ~1 TWh additional energy p.a. • Creates significant additional cost for Eskom of

~R2bn per TWh additional energy.

Summary

•  The current focus is on the energy gap into the foreseeable future •  A portfolio of supply and demand solutions are being implemented to address the

projected energy gap •  Acceleration of Demand Side Management is a key lever in strengthening security of

supply •  Internally Eskom is optimising current DSM processes to make it more attractive to

the market •  Eskom would like to better leverage the external market to implement DSM •  Eskom will make available additional funding to accelerate the DSM programme •  Residential Heat Pumps Rebate Scheme provides a unique opportunity for project

developers to accelerate their businesses with efficient hot water solutions •  Eskom would like to partner with yourselves to ensure that we address this challenge •  We want to obtain your inputs, issues and concerns in the implementation and

refinement of the residential HP rebate scheme •  The objective of today is to listen to you in order for us to develop a solution that will

address the immediate problem •  We see this as a springboard to a healthy, long term relationship to support

sustainable energy efficiency in South Africa.

Heat Pump Rebate Programme - overview

Purpose of the domestic heat pump rebate programme

•  The current heat pump programme only caters for the industrial and commercial sectors utilising the NERSA budget allowance and ESCO model process. It does not cover the residential market.

•  The purpose of the residential heat pump rebate programme is to provide financial assistance to the residential market through a rebate, enabling individual customers to purchase energy efficient heat pumps at a rebated cost.

11 11

Residential heat pump rebate programme

•  Eskom commissions a supplier to offer his product (heat pump) to the

customer at a discount (rebate).

•  The supplier claims the discount/rebate from Eskom.

•  This rebate is mutually beneficial to all parties involved

•  the supplier sales are increased

•  the customer electricity bill reduces,

•  Eskom achieves its business objectives

12 12

Residential heat pump rebate programme

•  What does it entail?

•  The rebate programme is for retrofit purposes where there is an existing working electrical conventional geyser.

•  The customer must buy the product from a registered supplier

•  Supplier must perform a complete installation

•  What is the target Market?

•  Middle to high income

•  Individual home owners, game lodges, bed and breakfast, metros buying in bulk, municipalities and corporate organisations

•  What is the programme duration?

•  Up to March 2013 as aligned to MYPD2

13 13

Programme, budgets and targets

•  The residential heat pump rebate programme budget is R 250 mil for

saving 54MW

•  This is part of the total heat pump programme allowance of R 679 mil,

128 MW over 3 years

•  Min of 65 585 units (air to water) to be installed over 3 years
