EE Mandate
clarification
Matters of strategic importance/Funding
Following programmes remain unfunded :
• Green Transport Programme - (DoT verbally
committed R10m for GTP – awaiting written
confirmation )
• Working for Energy Programme
• Energy Efficiency
• Smartgrids ???
Matters of strategic importance /HR
HR
Staff complement of 40
11 permanent
75% black representation
53% women representation
Internship Programme (8 interns to date) -
Attempts to source funding for additional
interns – EWSETA under administration
CFO post – advertised 18 Aug 2013
Company Sec post – shortlisting being done
Additional funding needed for key support staff
– done via MTEF – reduce dependency on
CEF/create independence
Matters of strategic importance / Energy Efficiency Mandate
Clarification
There are a number of conflicting views between:
– The requirements/ mandate of the Act.
– NERSA and the recent M-Y-P-D pronouncements.
– DoE’s concerns about potential ‘Conflicts of Interest’.
The Energy Efficiency landscape is itself becoming ‘inefficient’:
– Especially in the field of awareness, (49m, Eskom-IDM, Local
Authority campaigns, Power Alert, etc.)
– Even spreading to the research environment, (DST, Eskom,
etc.)
– Average member of the public is becoming confused,
(SWH or Heat Pumps, CFL’s or LEDs, etc.)
There is no central co-ordination and/ or measurement
of ‘real’ impacts!
Interim Actions
We have agreed with the Senior Management of the DoE, to compile a
‘Position Paper’ on SANEDI’s role in Energy Efficiency:-
– Provide a national ‘Clearing House’ facility to ensure proper integration,
co-ordination, performance measurement & consolidated reporting on
Energy Efficiency in the country.
– Including the independent performance tracking of the National
Energy Efficiency Strategy, Policy/ Regulation impacts (Tax
Incentives), Demand-Side Management savings and awareness
activities.
– Compile and manage a central repository of Energy Efficiency
data for the country
– Possibly extend this to cater for the alignment and integration
of donor funds flowing into the country for Energy Efficiency
activities, to avoid duplication?
Interim Actions
Facilitate local and international donor funding and partnerships
Variable costing models
Resources optimisation with sister organisations through
secondments, mutual skills development
Access skills development funding from SETAs- EWSETA under
administration – other SETAs being approached
