Governing

bodies

The Department of Energy (DOE) and the National Energy Regulator of South

Africa (“NERSA”) are responsible for setting energy policies and regulation of

the energy sector respectively

They determine critical aspects such as the framework for procurement of new

generation capacity and consumer pricing regimes

Market

South Africa’s electricity market is dominated by the 100% state –owned utility

Eskom which generates 95% of the electricity produced in the country and 45%

of electricity produced on the continent

As the only transmission licensee, Eskom is responsible for all transmitted

electricity

Distribution is shared between Eskom, municipalities and other licensed

distributors

Energy

Agenda

The DOE’s Integrated Resource Plan (“IRP”) 2010 to 2030 (1) puts a framework

in place that sets out the scale and mix of new electricity required over the next

two decades

Programmes identified in the IRP include:

The Renewable Energy Independent Power Producer Procurement

(REIPPP) Programme which is aimed at procuring 6,925 MW of renewable

energy

The base-load programme which is aimed at procuring 7,761 MW of base

load capacity comprising 2,500MW from coal , 2,652MW of gas power and

2,609 MW of imported hydro power . The Minister has since released a

Ministerial Determination for 3,126MWs of gas-to-power projects.

“The medium term risk mitigation” programme aimed at mitigating against

supply-demand shortfalls in the medium term, comprising 800 MW from

cogeneration and 474 MW of natural gas

DOE Peaker programme is a long standing DOE initiative that involves

purchasing power from independently owned Avon (670 MW) and Dedisa (335

MW) power plants (OCGTs)

Natural

Resources

South Africa has the world's ninth-largest amount of recoverable coal reserves

and holds 95% of Africa's total coal reserves

Positioned as the fifth-largest gold producer and accounts for over 6% of the

world’s output

In 2013, accounted for an annual production of c. 5 million ounces

South Africa is also one of the world’s largest producer of platinum

In 2013, provided two thirds of the world’s platinum mining output

South Africa produces about 190,000 barrels of oils each and every day land is

looking into more prospects with the opening up of new oil wells to expand the

business

Currently importing oil and have not reached a capacity to export any oil

From 2014 to 2017

Comments

The Strategic Grid Plan represents the transmission network

infrastructure requirements for a period of 10 years and is

updated annually

The purpose is to optimally and reliably transport the power

from the source of generation to the location of the load

South Africa’s Eskom forms part of the Southern Africa Power

Pool (“SAPP”)

SAPP was formed to provide reliable and economical

electricity supply for the consumers of each SAPP member

consistent with the reasonable use of natural resources and

the effect of the environment

Eskom exports power to SAPPP as a member of Southern

Africa Development Community (“SADC”)

EDM of Mozambique, ZESA of Mozambique and Eskom of

South Africa have MoUs to develop interconnectors to

increase power transfers and stability within the SAPP network

The Interconnector projects will involve the separate

development of the following sections of the project

REIPPP Programme

The South African government’s Integrated Resource Plan (“IRP”)

sets an ambitious target to add 50,000 MW of new generation

capacity to the South African grid by 2028 with renewable energy

technologies accounting for approximately 42 per cent of this target

It is against this background that the South African government,

through the Department of Energy (“DoE”), launched the

Renewable Energy IPP Procurement Programme in August 2011

Under the programme, the DoE initially mandated the procurement

of up to 3,625 MW from IPPs of various renewable energy

technologies including : wind, solar photovoltaic, concentrated

solar power, biogas, biomass, small hydro and landfill gas. An

additional 3,100 MW was subsequently made available for

procurement under the REIPP Procurement Programme

REIPPP Tender

Design

Under the REIPP programme, bids are invited from developers in

sequential bidding rounds, or “windows”. To date, there have been

four bidding windows, with the fifth expected to take place in early

2016. Potential bidders are required to register basic details of their

proposed project(s) approximately two months ahead of the

relevant bid window and unsuccessful projects can be bid again in

future windows

In each bid window, a maximum number of megawatts is made

available for each applicable technology and a price cap is set

(although the DoE has now removed the price cap for all the

technologies, having concluded that intense competition has driven

down prices and rendered a cap redundant)

Money

Each project must provide net benefit to the South African

government and consumer taking into account, without

limitation, the price offered, the bidder’s internal rate of return

and level of success payments

The bid documents contain detailed and complex requirements. Bid responses must

comply with all of the qualification criteria to be compliant

The qualification criteria requires bidders to provide detailed responses as to the extent

of their readiness to deliver their projects in key areas such as project structure,

compliance with specific legal, land, environmental, financial, technical and economic

development requirements. Detail on each of these requirements is shown below:

The Energy Regulatory Framework

South Africa has put into place transformative policies to ensure energy supply security and this is demonstrated in a number of legislative actions including the White Paper on the Renewable Energy Policy of RSA (2003), the National Energy Bill (2008), and the National Energy Act (2008)

The Integrated Resource Plan 2010-2030 (“IRP 2010”) developed by the Department of Energy (“DoE”) is a public policy document that outlines the energy mix contemplated for South Africa until 2030

The DoE is in the process of implementing the following IPP Programmes: Renewable Independent Power Producer Procurement Programme (“REIPPPP”), the Baseload IPP Procurement Programme and the Medium Term Risk Mitigation Programme

Successful Renewable Programme to Date

Commentary

There is an immediate opportunity to participate in the Coal Baseload Programme

The Coal Baseload Programme Request For Proposals document (“Coal RFP”) was released on 15 December 2014 to potential bidders and bid responses for round 1 of the programme will be due on 8 June 2014

The Coal RFP states that a total of 1,600 MWs will be procured in round 1 of the programme with 1,000 MWs being allocated to projects within South Africa and 600 MWs from outside of South Africa

There is a longer term opportunity to participate in the gas baseload programme and the hydro programme which will be undertaken following the coal base load programme

Page 10: Bankability of clean energy projects - South Africa case

REIPPP Overview (Cont)

One qualification criteria which has become a key part of the programme is the

engineering, procurement and construction (“EPC”) arrangements. A bidder has to

provide details of its EPC contractor, including its track record and capability in building

the power plant

Although this is not a specific bid compliance requirement, a competitive EPC price is

essential for a successful project and a balance needs to be struck between risk transfer

to the EPC contractor and price. Lenders will want the project company to be insulated

from risk, yet a blanket approach will not be accepted in the market. With experienced

and well resourced sponsors in place, there is scope for the project company to take on

appropriate risks – but this is all in the context of fixed “upstream” project documents (the

PPA and IA) that govern the process and place fixed obligations and timings on the

project company.

These documents (and their impact on the EPC and operations and maintenance

arrangements) need to be understood, as they establish a framework for the

construction and operation of the projects.

The correct flow-through of processes (in particular during commissioning and

commercial operation) and project relief (whereby the EPC contractor’s relief under the

EPC contract is limited to that which the project company obtains under the project

documents) are essential and must be considered pragmatically and commercially.

Other key issues that need to be addressed include:

dealing with delays caused by Eskom (in particular in relation to grid connection);

site risk under the PPA;

site access;

payment structures and security;

how issues particular to the local construction market can impact on construction

and operation;

exchange rate risk;

economic development obligations; and

access to the transmission or distribution system.

With continued pressure on tariff pricing there may be a move towards split contract

structures (where the project company employs an equipment supplier and a separate

balance of plant contractor – and manages the interface between the two).

The Role of EPC & Bidding Considerations Challenges and Lessons Learned

Simplified

Bidding

Requireme

nts

The cost of bidding has been high due to the detailed and complex

nature of the bidding requirements. The DoE has sought to simplify

bidding requirements (and therefore lower bidding costs) by making

the following changes to the bid documents for the remaining

bidding rounds:

Bidders no longer need to submit shareholders’ agreements in

respect of the project company or heads of terms with their

contractors and key equipment suppliers at the time of

submission. This eliminates advisory and other associated

costs incurred through negotiating these documents at the bid

stage;

Certain licences and consents are not required until the

preferred bidder stage;

The terms on which lenders can issue a letter of support to

provide debt financing have been relaxed; and

Bidders only need to provide two hard copies and a soft copy

of the bid response as opposed to seven hard copies and

seven soft copies as was the case in previous bid windows.

Licenses

and

Consents

Currently, the requisite licences and consents are obtained under

different pieces of legislation and from different government

departments with different timings and procedures. A single

umbrella legal framework for renewable energy procurement with a

“one-stop shop” government department for licenses and

consents would make the bidding process more efficient and this

would also help reduce the costs associated with liaising with

different departments

Project Site

Securing the project site is a key component of the bidding process.

It is therefore important for a bidder to identify the project site and

conclude the necessary contracts in sufficient time to ensure that

the land arrangements meet land use and acquisition criteria. It is

also important for bidders to resolve any land tenure issues such as

any third party rights, existing mortgages

Grid

Connection

Due to financial constraints, there have been concerns regarding

Eskom’s ability to build the network infrastructure necessary to

connect the large number of successful projects to enable them to

achieve commercial operations within the time frames specified in

the PPAs. In addition, grid connection costs have now become an

issue as the initial cost estimate letters provided by Eskom at bid

submission vary substantially from subsequent budget quotes

provided to preferred bidders. This has caused a delay in

successful third bid window projects reaching financial close

The Minister has allocated 1,800 MW to be allocated during

the EW. However, the Department is not obliged to allocate

all 1,800 MW during the EW

It is also anticipated that the Minister will issue a Third

Determination that will provide for the procurement of a

further 6,300 MW to be generated from renewable energy

sources

The EW RFP is one of the various procurement processes

that the Government will develop to procure this further

generation capacity from renewable energy sources

Interested parties have until 6 October to respond to the

RFP, the DoE has advised bidders to apply for cost

estimate letters from the relevant grid provider as soon as

possible

The Price caps per Technology have been updated. Notably the Department has elected once more to impose a Price cap on Onshore Wind and Solar PV technologies. Previously, the Price cap was removed for these Technologies

Page 13: Bankability of clean energy projects - South Africa case

● Following from accelerating and expanding REIPPP in August 2015, the Minister issued a determination in August 2015

for an additional 6,300MW of capacity allocation for future bid windows under REIPPP

● The additional MW made available by this determination are to be allocated across technologies as follows:

● Onshore wind 3,040MW, solar PV 2,200MW, CSP

● With this determination, the capacity allocation for the procurement of new generation capacity in future bid windows

will almost double from previous determinations which totaled 6,725MW

● The Minister has also issued a separate gas-specific determination stating that new generation capacity for the

procurement of 3,126 MW can come from any gas type or source

● This includes natural gas delivered to the power generation facility by any method (including by pipeline from a natural

South Africa Renewable Energy IPP Programme Overview

Significant Announcements on SA’s Energy Programmes

In August 2015, the Minister of Energy issued new ministerial determinations for

additional capacity allocation for the country's renewable energy, gas and cogeneration

programmes New Renewable Energy Determinations

The renewable energy determination provides the desired certainty that there will be a pipeline of renewable energy projects in South Africa’s procurement of much needed new electricity generation capacity. The determinations on gas and cogeneration projects signal the government’s

commitment to diversify South Africa’s energy mix ___________________________ Source: The Department of Energy
