Nigel Blakeby
Mr Brian Molefe
Mr Sicelo Xulu
MD of City Power Energy
A sector intransformation
We need to survive it
Investment
We need a biggerenergy mix
Prosumers
Empowered customers
How do utilities interact with theircustomers in this environment?
Digitisation
Eg Smart Grid
Big Data
Analytics
For
Business
Customer Service
Reduce outagesPerformance
PlanningSearching for the
Relevant dataA new driver &pressure in our
business
New competitors Eg IPPs
They must be embraced, notseen as destructive forces
Aging workforceRequires up-skilling in
younger people
Key trends
2.1% economicgrowth worldwide
4.2% world wideInvestment
US$1.8 trillion
In Africa toachieve 4%
growth
US$23.3 trillion world wide by 2040
Smart metering 9.4%growth CAGR
Energy mix ischanging
41% coal reducedto 21% by 2040
RE 21% to 33%
But fossil fuels still thelions share for decades
Engineering News
Main topics
Plenary PanelThe challenges facing the Electricity
Supply Industry in Africa
Nelisiwe Mugubane
Institutional memory
Grid constraints
How to plan so that our powersupply is what we need Interaction
betweencountries
EgDistribution
Network
How to bring centralizedpower to the consumer?
But Utilities must embracedistributed generation
Corridors where totransport this energy
"Give the risk to the people bestable to manage it". Ie IPPs!
[what aboutsolar leasing?]
We must make sure thatintergovernmental agreements
are (sustained) maintained
Monitoring &evaluation
Dr Willem de Beer
SANEDI
Taylor Ruggles
Department of State, USA
Obama's PowerAfrica program
Local finance & infrastructure is achallenge when trying to bringelectricity to 600 mil Africans
How to reduceproject risk
Takes a transactionbased approach
Project by project

Policy
Enabling environment forprivate investment
Cost reflective tariffs

Strong legal ®ulatory
frameworksInterconnections
To neighbors so that youcan trade electricity
Arnaud de Limburger
EPC
Operates IPPsDevelop, Build,
Operate: to reduce risk
An investor'sperspective
Governance
Relinquishingsovereignty
Because of huge financial backingfrom outside countries
[Eg in Greece today]
Reynolds BeksDagogo-Jack
Hydro power Especially smallhydro in Africa
Tax incentives notavailable in micro-hydro
Especially because of capitalintensive nature of the projects
For stabilizing the grid if connected tothe main transmission lines
Time to get permits
Not co-ordinated single point ofcontact in many governments
Lack of skills
Political willStable regulations
For a conducive, enabling,predictable, environment
Soft infrastructureAre the conditions precedent in place to
make sure power can be wheeled across thegrids and across borders?
Agreements
Technical
Regulatory
For power to flow
Wheeling charges
Power Poolagreements
To regulate thetrade of electricity
Efficient markets
Rwanda
Jacob Mblele
The biggest challenge is thefocus on mega-projects
Big distances!
DOE
The solution is in micro-grids &distributed generation
IPPs:
What about rooftop?
Aggregated demand with anintegrated & co-ordinated
need across Africa
Are IPPs the fastest way ofgetting energy onto the grid?
Can we have low cost &reliable energy in Africa?
Nelly: it must be high costto get it to be reliable
Taylor: we must putup prices first
Jacob: it doesn't needto be expensive!
How do we get regionalnetworks working? And what
about an Africa wide grid?
Questions
LocalisationEspecially know how
Me
Building vs maintaining themachine & what is the machine
for? 8,000 jobs vs 1 mil jobs
Key Challenges & OpportunitiesCity Power
Mr Sicelo Xulu
A local list
Theft
Load shedding
Economic downturn &increasing elec costs
Skills &servicedelivery
Illegal connections
Infrastructure &developmentaffordabilityNEM, etc
Whilst we are trying to build a newinnovative system, there are a whole
bunch of disruptive technologies
Utilities must turn disruptivetechnologies into opportunities

Wobble Index
What is your turn down whilstmeeting emissions?
35% to 45%
Siemens can operate at 5%, but thennot emissions compliant
Gasify methanolfor example
As an input to agas engine
StrategyEnergy Planning
Transitioning the Power SystemPanel Discussion
Regional power market PreconditionsNational control
is required
Customer will have achoice of supplier
There will be a retailer in themarket of the future
Missing capacity
SA 33 out of 42 GW,but what about 48
SAPP built 14 GW in the past 10years, but wants to build 24 GW
in the next 10 years
Need to createvarious markets

We shoulduse our coal
Professor Philip Lloyd

Looking at theUrban Scale
100 to 500 units
Prosumers
Much greater awareness of EE andproduction requirements
Population growth of 2.5%;Urbanisation at 4%
Australia
1 million houses achieved in 5years; 10% penetration
Cost of capital
If we had COC like Germany,capex costs would halve
Examples
Hudson Yards70% of baseload supply
Freiburg
Higashimata Japan
Garden City, Nairobi

Accra

Why isn't ithappening?Ownership
Matthew Ulterino
"Real estate is central tothe energy transition"
New technology -development
[Grubb Curve]Eg battery vs diesel
Low / high capex vsHigh / low ops cost
Requires a financial innovation in theselling / financing model
Cell phonesales analogy It's like a PPAEvery time PV production doubles,
PV prices come down 22%
Technology disruption Battery R6per kWh now
House R2.14 Generator R5 House PV R1.50
A system with multipleopportunities to create value
How will SA grow its electricity supplyPhilip Lloyd
"The future willlook like today"
Energy intensity
It's dropping, butit's an illusion
Shortage
20 tWh per yearWe need 5 tWh
more per year to meet our growth targets
Renewables
Big costs
Eg intermittency
Spinning reserve costs
"South Africa'sfuture is nuclear"
Gas is nice, but notavailable in SA (yet)
Mozambique has lots
Currently 1% of ourelectricity is from gas
80 tWh from nuclear for R500 bil vs 8tWh from RE for R200 bil
Check the numbers
Coal1/3rd of our exportearnings is from coal
Means paradoxin our policy
SA wants to reducecoal production
