SYNOPSIS
 
Peak demand times can be seen to be when the majority of South Africans are preparing morning and evening meals and this is further exacerbated during the winter months when the need for warmth becomes paramount. Currently, outside of electricity, much focus is being placed on wind and solar as alternative energy sources. However, LPGas is a 'here and now' energy which does not require research and/or development. It is available and has proven itself, internationally, for many years. In fact, it's often the fuel of choice for cooking, water and space heating. So, what is preventing it from offering the same safe, efficient and affordable solution to South Africa's energy woes?

THE STATE-OF-PLAY IN ELECTRICITY REGULATION & POLICY IN SA REGARDING IPPs
 
presented by Doug Kuni, managing director
SA Independent Power Producers Association (SAIPPA)
 
DATE: Wednesday 13 October 2010
TIME: 17h30 for 18h00
VENUE: Magnet Gp, 48 Hannah Road, Umbilo (off Sydney Road), Durban
COST: Free-of-charge, including drinks and snacks

Come and join the energy professionals at SANEA for an evening of provocation and challenge, to learn more about energy options for South Africa, debate the issues, and get some answers!
 
SYNOPSIS
 
Much has been spoken about IPPs entering the SA power scene in the last 5 years. While NERSA has tried to do what is possible within the current policy framework, the current policy does not clarify the role of IPPs and how they will participate in the future. The future structure of the electricity industry is key to unlocking the potential of IPPs in the marketplace, and this clarity must be provided as a strong signal that SA is serious about attracting private capital in power generation. The period from 2011 onwards will reveal how short SA is of power generation capacity. If the dominant market player is unable to fund further capacity expansion, SA's economy will be severely handicapped and growth targets will accordingly be compromised.
