Chris Yelland, Energy Analyst and MD at EE Business Intelligence, joins Bruce Whitfield to discuss how The National Energy Regulator of South Africa (Nersa) is negotiating with authorities to potentially increase the free electricity provided to low-income households. Currently, over 8 million households in South Africa benefit from the free basic electricity (FBE) program, receiving 50 kWh per month. At the end of May, Nersa approved a new rate for FBE, which municipalities must pay Eskom for supplying this free power. Starting July 1, the rate for the 2024/25 municipal financial year will be 194.40c/kWh, a 12.5% increase from the previous rate of 172.76c/kWh.

This audio is brought to you by Endress and Hauser, a leading supplier of products, solutions and services for industrial process measurement and automation. The Industrial Gas Users Association - Southern Africa (IGUA-SA) is warning of a gas supply 'day zero' for several large and small manufacturing enterprises and says that urgent decisions will be required within the coming four months if South Africa is to avoid a looming "gas cliff" within the coming 30 months. Speaking during an EE Business Intelligence webinar convened to understand the outlook for gas energy security and the potential role for gas-to-power (GtP) in improving the outlook, IGUA-SA executive officer Jaco Human said the looming shortfall had arisen on the back of Sasol's announcement last year that it will be halting supply to downstream consumers from 2026. This, partly because it had failed to find sufficient reserves to replace an anticipated tapering of supply from southern Mozambique and partly because Sasol plans to use the remaining gas to displace coal at its own operations to support its decarbonisation. IGUA-SA members, which include some of South Africa's largest manufacturing enterprises that collectively employ 65 000 people and have yearly combined revenues of over R300-billion, currently consume some 40 PJ/y of gas to produce everything from steel, glass and aluminium products to food and beverages. Human suggested the most realistic supply option to be the importation and re-gasification of liquefied natural gas (LNG) at a new terminal, which is proposed for development at the Matola harbour in Maputo, Mozambique, given its relatively advanced state of development when compared with a proposed terminal at the Port of Richards Bay, in KwaZulu-Natal. However, there were still significant timing risks, with a final investment decision on the $350-million terminal dependent on several offtaker and related infrastructure developments, including a tie-in to the existing Rompco pipeline, a connection between the Rompco and Lilly pipelines, as well as a GtP anchor offtaker. "We literally have four months to switch on the landing lights on the development of gas infrastructure to substitute the shortfall in supply from 2026 onwards," Human asserted, warning of manufacturing and job casualties should these fail to materialise. He also insisted that domestic gas demand could be sustained despite the inevitable price disruption that would arise from a switch from Mozambican gas to LNG but acknowledged that it would not be a pain-free transition, with some enterprises still likely to close. Gigajoule CEO Jurie Swart said the Matola terminal, which could be built in partnership with TotalEnergies, was technically "shovel ready", as was an associated GtP project, but that offtaker commitments and policy decisions were still required to ensure financial close. Rompco CEO Mlandzeni Boyce reported that the commercial viability of a tie-in project to connect the proposed Matola LNG terminal to the existing Mozambique-to-Secunda pipeline was under evaluation, with a front-end engineering design technical package having been completed in June last year. "But Rompco will not take a final investment decision until bankable gas transmission agreements are concluded," Boyce stressed, adding that it would also seek adjustments to the tariff architecture to allow for distance-based tariffs. POWER ANCHOR? Swart made the case for LNG's price competitiveness relative to the fuel alternatives available to South African manufacturers, but also argued strongly for an anchor customer in the form of a GtP plant operating in Mozambique at a high capacity factor and selling power to South Africa. The proposed solution would require a cross-border power purchase agreement and, thus, implied a major change to South African energy policy. Such an outcome would likely prove controversial considering developments in the South African electricity market, where an inaugural GtP p...

This audio is brought to you by Endress and Hauser, a leading supplier of products, solutions and services for industrial process measurement and automation. The Industrial Gas Users Association - Southern Africa (IGUA-SA) is warning of a gas supply 'day zero' for several large and small manufacturing enterprises and says that urgent decisions will be required within the coming four months if South Africa is to avoid a looming "gas cliff" within the coming 30 months. Speaking during an EE Business Intelligence webinar convened to understand the outlook for gas energy security and the potential role for gas-to-power (GtP) in improving the outlook, IGUA-SA executive officer Jaco Human said the looming shortfall had arisen on the back of Sasol's announcement last year that it will be halting supply to downstream consumers from 2026. This, partly because it had failed to find sufficient reserves to replace an anticipated tapering of supply from southern Mozambique and partly because Sasol plans to use the remaining gas to displace coal at its own operations to support its decarbonisation. IGUA-SA members, which include some of South Africa's largest manufacturing enterprises that collectively employ 65 000 people and have yearly combined revenues of over R300-billion, currently consume some 40 PJ/y of gas to produce everything from steel, glass and aluminium products to food and beverages. Human suggested the most realistic supply option to be the importation and re-gasification of liquefied natural gas (LNG) at a new terminal, which is proposed for development at the Matola harbour in Maputo, Mozambique, given its relatively advanced state of development when compared with a proposed terminal at the Port of Richards Bay, in KwaZulu-Natal. However, there were still significant timing risks, with a final investment decision on the $350-million terminal dependent on several offtaker and related infrastructure developments, including a tie-in to the existing Rompco pipeline, a connection between the Rompco and Lilly pipelines, as well as a GtP anchor offtaker. "We literally have four months to switch on the landing lights on the development of gas infrastructure to substitute the shortfall in supply from 2026 onwards," Human asserted, warning of manufacturing and job casualties should these fail to materialise. He also insisted that domestic gas demand could be sustained despite the inevitable price disruption that would arise from a switch from Mozambican gas to LNG but acknowledged that it would not be a pain-free transition, with some enterprises still likely to close.

This audio is brought to you by Endress and Hauser, a leading supplier of products, solutions and services for industrial process measurement and automation. Eskom Distribution MD Monde Bala has signalled the utility's willingness to consider the integration of an Electricity Credit Token (ECT) financial instrument to accelerate the implementation of a virtual wheeling model that allows multiple generators to transact with multiple customers in multiple locations. Eskom and Vodacom have, over the past year, developed and piloted a virtual wheeling platform that Eskom is currently aiming to launch before the end of 2024. However, Meridian Economics has subsequently made a proposal to modify the implementation of the scheme using 'token wheeling', whereby a liquid secondary market is created for ECTs generated when independent power producers (IPPs) inject electricity into the grid for sale to customers that have signed up to buy renewable electricity through a virtual wheeling platform. The ECT, Meridian says, will be a "tradeable, standardised, contractually recognised claim to a credit on an electricity account". Speaking during a webinar hosted by EE Business Intelligence, Meridian Economics MD Dr Grové Steyn argued that the introduction of ECTs could enhance IPP project viability by removing the credit risks associated with the current virtual wheeling platform approach, which is premised on the securing of an Eskom refund after payment of the account. Instead of paying their full distributor or municipal bill in cash in the expectation of a later refund, customers would obtain a credit on their municipal accounts on presentation of ECTs and municipalities will do so in turn with the aggregated ECTs, on their Eskom bulk accounts. Bala described the ECT proposal, which could be implemented using a distributed ledger or blockchain system, as an innovative concept that could help unlock much-needed private investment into electricity generation by potentially de-risking the virtual wheeling. However, he also noted the complexity associated with the introduction of such a financial instrument and said further work and consultation was, thus, required to make it implementable. He proposed that the token wheeling proposal be canvassed further with stakeholders participating in workstream nine of the National Energy Crisis Committee (Necom), which he chairs. The workstream is focusing specifically on market and wheeling interventions to assist in overcoming South Africa's long-standing loadshedding crisis. Bala also highlighted that it had taken more than two years, from concept to proposed implementation, to develop the virtual wheeling platform with Vodacom and indicated that a similar timeframe should be anticipated for securing all the necessary governance approval for ECTs.

Eskom's generation business is currently weighing various concession models as the utility assesses ways to improve the performance of its breakdown-prone coal-fired power stations in a context of ongoing financial constraints, as well as restrictions on the raising of new debt. Eskom Generation engineering GM Thomas Conradie confirmed during an EE Business Intelligence webinar on Thursday that the options ranged from the concessioning of entire plants to private operators, to the concessioning of ringfenced functions within power stations. He revealed that Eskom had, for some time, been weighing a concession model for the Hendrina power station, in Mpumalanga. He indicated, however, that the utility was increasingly leaning towards a model whereby ringfenced plant areas were either concessioned, or long-term partnerships were concluded with private entities for the operation and maintenance of specific plant components or technologies within power stations. In February, the National Treasury announced that, as part of a R254-billion debt relief package extended to Eskom, a consortium led by vgbe energy had been appointed to assess the condition of the utility's coal fleet and to make recommendations on whether some of the power stations should be concessioned to private operators. The assessment is expected to be concluded in July. However, special adviser to the Minister of Electricity Silas Zimu expressed scepticism about the value of concessions at Eskom, and indicated a preference for allowing the private sector to participate in the repowering of those stations that are scheduled for decommissioning rather than taking over the operations and maintenance of assets that would remain generating for many more years. "All these power stations that have been built where Eskom has been a contract manager, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) have been suppliers and engineering, procurement and construction [service providers] and, in some instances, they would have operated and maintained the plants for some time until the handover. "So private participation has always been there [and] maybe that's the model we have to go back to," Zimu said during the webinar. Babcock Ntuthuko Engineering CEO Thava Govender argued that there could be both benefits and potential drawbacks in pursuing a concession solution, but stressed that Eskom definitely needed support from OEMs to improve the performance of a fleet that had become unreliable as a result of insufficient maintenance. "Eskom needs all the help they can get, and I think we do need to get all the executives of the OEMs together with Eskom, because as a collective I'm sure we can address this crisis of loadshedding and its cascading effect on the economy," Govender said. Likewise, ACTOM John Thompson engineering manager Ewert Snyman noted that while his company was already operating and maintaining boilers for other clients, such systems remained core to Eskom, which had developed skills and expertise over many years of operation. "I think the focus should be on improving performance by including more of the boiler auxiliary equipment in contracts with OEMs so that the key performance indicators can be linked to the performance of the plant. "Because you cannot ask an OEM to guarantee the performance of the boiler if the company is only maintaining the pressure parts and some of the ancillaries are not included in the contract," Snyman argued. Siemens Energy Southern Africa MD Thabo Molekoa added that there was also a growing opportunity for Eskom to improve plant performance by drawing on the expertise that OEMs had in integrating modern diagnostic and engineering services. "We are talking about a 24/7 operation that needs agility in response to day-to-day and hour-to-hour problems. "The minute you start becoming a lot more agile, you then are able to mobilise the right skill sets and expertise and you are able to respond quicker while adhering to quality and best practice...

Electricity costs have more than gone up significantly. Still, as they increase, demand for Eskom's power is dwindling - not least because persistent load shedding is driving consumers to seek out alternate power sources. On the other hand, inflation rates have remained within the desired range of 3% to 7%. The Reserve Bank stated that administered prices, such as electricity and water, are still short-term inflation risks. However, as electricity rates have risen, demand for Eskom's power has decreased. Load shedding has also contributed to the drop in demand, with users opting for other power sources, according to NERSA. Chris Yelland is an energy expert and managing director at EE Business Intelligence who spoke to Radio Islam International; he says that this is based on an estimation of costs and sales; from this, it allows Eskom to recover a certain amount of revenue and generate a profit.
