SUMMARY:Taking advantage of the increased 100MW threshold: The C&I business case
DESCRIPTION:President Cyril Ramaphosa’s announcement to increase the self-generation without a licence threshold from 1MW to 100MW has been a long time coming for South Africa’s commercial and industrial sector.  \nWhile there are regulatory details to iron out\, the announcement signals in theory that it will become easier for companies to enter into Power Purchase Agreements with private entities. Instead of a lengthy licencing process\, a future applicant would only need to register their generation project with the National Electricity Regulator of South Africa (NERSA). \nSmall scale embedded generation in the C&I sector is a growth industry\, especially the use of solar energy\, across Africa. Most often the decision to self-generate is a business imperative entered into because it is the only way a company can ensure reliable\, available and sustainable electricity. \nIn South Africa\, load shedding threatens millions of jobs across all industrial sectors so the ability to control a steady supply of electricity would provide much-needed business stability. But\, would what is essentially the creation of a decentralised power supply really make that much of a difference to the country’s decarbonisation efforts? \nThough the actual update of the Electricity Regulation Act Schedule 2 is now a matter of gazetting the paperwork\, there are still many unanswered questions around the policies and regulations that will spell out exactly how this process will work. \nRegister here

SUMMARY:The increased 100MW threshold – Municipal opportunities
DESCRIPTION:When President Cyril Ramaphosa announced the self-generation threshold would be raised to 100MW he was at pains to point out that municipalities would still retain a large measure of autonomy over whether this would happen in their boundaries or not.  \nPower projects have to be grid-compliant\, even if islanded from the national system\, and businesses who generate their own electricity will also be allowed to wheel electricity to the grid\, subject to wheeling charges and connection agreements with Eskom and relevant municipalities. Municipalities will retain discretion to approve grid connection applications on their networks\, and the entire process will still be regulated by NERSA and overseen by the DMRE. \nSince only 27 municipalities out of 246 in the country have clean audits\, this does rather limit the number of municipalities who themselves can procure power directly from power producers\, without needing NERSA permission as long as the amount falls under 100MW. \nAlthough\, for the most part\, municipalities are low on finance\, technical capacity and/or creditworthiness to directly take advantage of the change in policy. Considering the single largest source of revenue for most local municipalities is electricity sales\, how then do municipalities take advantage of this change in policy direction? \nJoin ESI Africa Editor\, Nicolette Pombo-van Zyl\, as she moderates a panel discussion on the following: \n\nHow can municipalities take advantage of intensive energy users in their wards who wish to enter into IPP agreements with private developers?\nSetting up wheeling models\, wheeling charges and tariffs in this structure for the South African municipal context\nEnsuring transparency of the process for how municipalities dis/approve grid-connected applicants\nHow can municipalities become more investment-ready to participate in and create energy solutions for large power users?\n\nRegister here

SUMMARY:3 key considerations for sustainable power generation for African mines
DESCRIPTION:The pressure and desire for the mining industry to reduce green-house gas emissions is mounting\, and with that the trend for renewable energy is gaining momentum. \nMeeting sustainability goals at a mine now plays a huge part in deciding which power generation solution is best suited\, whether it be temporary rental power or power plants for production. \nMany mining operations take place in remote parts of the world where access to a reliable supply of electricity from the grid is unavailable or requires significant investments in transmission\, the solution has traditionally been to use a thermal power plant on site burning fossil fuels. \nJoin Cat® Electric Power and Mining Review Africa for a Webinar that discusses the following three key considerations to power generation and how to find the optimum solution while maintaining grid stability for uninterrupted production at the mine site: \n1)    Growing trends and the necessity to become more sustainable \n2)    Cat® Electric Power Solutions – from traditional fuel such as diesel\, oil and natural gas to sustainable solutions including Solar power\, Energy Storage systems and alternative fuels\, we discuss the various options available to you \n3)    Support – from prospecting and construction to production\, expansion and aftermarket services \nRegister here

SUMMARY:Lessons learned from mining mini grids to national grids
DESCRIPTION:Wind + solar with a slice of energy storage = reliable\, dispatchable power that up to now has always been the preserve of fossil fuel generation.  One site\, one interconnection\, many MW of clean\, grid-friendly energy. That is the promise of the hybrid RE system. The new frontier to decarbonisation of the global energy system. \nThe idea looks great on paper but in reality\, the hybrid grid is a mix of interconnected complexities relating to cost\, technology and market drivers. No two hybrid systems are alike. Market drivers – grid constraints\, grid stability or fast-response ancillary services – differ from country to country. \nThe experience of mines in Africa that are building hybrid minigrids for their own use though could point the way towards decarbonisation of energy systems. The need for reliable own generation has become the mother of invention when it comes to bringing renewable energy into a minigrid at a mine. \nWhat then are the lessons mines are learning about creating their own renewable energy system and how can these be scaled up by national grids? \nDiscussion points \n\nHave developers reached a tipping point where they have enough capacity and capability to work on multiple technologies inhouse?\nHave the complexities of interconnection technology and design reached a point where systems can be built on a large scale?\nWorking up a financial and technical model attractive to mine\, investor and developer that limits risk while sharing rewards and can thus be scaled up?\n\nRegister here \n
