Response: Energy
- The description of the energy projects includes the costs.
- The jobs created can be determined only when contracts are signed.
Premier Winde has announced that more than R7 billion is being spent over the next three years in the Western Cape by the WCG, the City of Cape Town and Western Cape municipalities to reduce the impacts of load shedding on citizens and businesses and to reduce the reliance of the Western Cape on Eskom. The targets set are to be achieved through the implementation of the Western Cape Energy Resilience Programme.
The Province's R1.1 bn investment over the next three years will be complemented by a further R3.9 billion investment by the City of Cape Town, with the balance of R1.9 billion by other WC municipalities.
The programme comprises six sub-programmes, namely in the areas of (i) load shedding relief, (ii) demand side management, (iii) new energy generation, (iv) network development and (v) increased investment all guided by a provincial integrated resource plan.
In the energy domain, infrastructure projects generally centre on building power stations, power lines and substations. Eskom remains the main investor in the sector, across its Generation, Transmission and Distribution business units with a capital budget measured in billions of Rands. Similarly, the local municipalities have electricity distribution networks with associated infrastructure budgets. The private sector in the form of Independent Power Producers (IPPs) is set to invest billions of Rands across the province, building solar PV and wind farms, gas plants including Green Hydrogen, plus energy storage and other innovations.
Within the Energy Resilience Programme, there are several projects which directly fund what can be classified as energy infrastructure, and others that indirectly impact infrastructure project spend.
The direct projects are:
- Alternative energy support for SMMEs: this is being undertaken by DEDAT with a budget of R55.5m over three financial years.The project aims to provide businesses with co-funding towards alternative energy sources to allow for continuous operation during load shedding. This is currently in the design phase.
- Pilot renewable energy solutions in municipalities: the DLG will test alternative renewable energy solutions in municipalities to find a more sustainable approach (than diesel generators) to maintaining services during load shedding. The technical specifications are in the process of being determined, and the budget is R30m over three financial years.
- Schools LED lighting and Solar PV at WCED Schools – the WCED will roll out low energy lighting at R150m and low energy lighting at R36m over three years across a spectrum of education facilities. A larger-scale project to enable the installation of solar PV at 100 public schools in the Western Cape is also under design.
- PV systems in Provincial health buildings & facilities – building on successful energy efficiency work undertaken in some provincial hospitals, the Department of Health and Wellness continues to work towards the implementation of alternative energy systems in provincial health facilities.
- Demand Side Management (DSM) and WCG modernisation programme- projects under the Department of Infrastructure seek to make WCG building infrastructure more energy efficient and to reduce energy usage. The Department of the Premier is in the design phase of a DSM programme for the province that may include supporting municipalities and businesses to access National DSM funds, supporting energy service companies, and others (e.g. load management systems, further load curtailment agreements, demand aggregation and smart meters). The earmarked budget for the provincial DSM programme is R11.1m over three years.
The projects that will have an indirect influence on energy infrastructure across the Western Cape include:
- Municipal IPP Procurement for Stellenbosch – Transaction advisory and project management support is being provided to the Stellenbosch Municipality to support the implementation of municipal independent power producer procurement (MIPPP). This project is currently in the procurement phase, with a budget of R17.2m over three years.
- Project Preparation Facility: The results and learnings from the work in Stellenbosch will be used for further MIPPP projects. A project preparation facility is being established in the Department of Infrastructure that will advance this work as well as provide support on other renewable energy generation and/or procurement options with further municipalities. The earmarked budget is R120m over three years.
Municipal Pooled Buying: A pooled buying mechanism options analysis was concluded in May 2023 and a business case is currently being developed to explore the establishment of a multi-jurisdictional municipal pooled buying mechanism for the procurement of renewable energy from IPP/s for participant Western Cape municipalities. This project was initiated in DEDAT in the last financial year and is transitioning over to the Department of the Premier. The City of Cape Town, Stellenbosch, Saldanha, Drakenstein and Mossel Bay municipalities are the initial pilot municipalities. This is a first-of-its-kind project in South Africa with a budget of R13.3m over three years.
The above projects are expected to lead to the development of significant private sector IPP projects across the province, and elsewhere in South Africa wheeling power to our province. This will drive forward our initiatives to reduce reliance on Eskom.
The following foundational projects will have an influence over electrical and energy infrastructure in the province:
- A further project under the Department of Infrastructure centres on infrastructure upgrade planning for the transmission & distribution grids in the province. The focus is on assisting municipalities to plan for, access funding / finance for and implement the strengthening and expansion of their distribution networks to increase resilience and allow for new energy generation. The budget for this element is R10.5m over three years.
- The Department of Local Government is funding municipalities to update their Energy Master Plans (EMPs) so that their infrastructure needs can be quantified, with a budget of R10.68m over three years.
- Investigations are also underway by the Department of Infrastructure around the development of options around Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) for Gas to Power purposes, and around the infrastructure needed to support the development of the Green Hydrogen sector. The latter is supported by DEDAT, Wesgro and Freeport Saldanha. A total of R61m is allocated for this purpose.
- The above, plus other information from projects such as DEDAT’s private sector High Energy Users project, will help to inform the Western Cape’s Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) which will be an evidence-based and cost-optimal guide on the Western Cape’s strategic priorities, targets and energy infrastructure development. The objective is to help municipalities to understand current and future needs to collectively assess grid capacity and generation needs where they may be needed. Furthermore, this will assist the crowding in of suitable funding to build the infrastructure needed to support the transition to a low-carbon future. The WC IRP will be developed to identify the preferred future pathways in the electricity sector in the province and to enable the procurement of projects in a cost-optimal manner. R11.5m has been set aside for the IRP.
- The Western Cape Just Energy Transition Investment Plan (JET IP) is under development and will be the investment plan for the required energy projects and infrastructure that will be used to attract investment and create new industries and jobs. DEDAT is leading this process with a budget of R1m.
- Funding has been made available for additional capacity in several departments to implement the projects listed above as well as other non-infrastructure related projects in the Energy Resilience Plan. The budget is R63.135m over three years.
The net of the above is that the Western Cape Energy Resilience Programme will allow for targeted investments in energy infrastructure. The programme considers the whole of the province, but with some projects being implemented in specific areas. The exact magnitude and location of these is still to be determined. Similarly, the estimates of job creation are still to be worked out.
The City of Cape Town is an integral part of the above and implements its own energy projects including a 200 MW energy project and 500 MW dispatchable energy project, both of which are currently in the procurement phase.
