Media presentation Tshediso Matona

Chief Executive

15 January 2015

Introduction

On December 9 we said the following…

• We apologised to the nation for the inconvenience of the past few weeks due to load shedding.

• We communicated that for an extended period the power system is extremely constrained and vulnerable.

• With the system being tight, any abnormal event pushes us into load shedding

• With the reserve margin being low, we do not have enough capacity to meet demand, necessitating planned, controlled and rotational load shedding, to protect the power system from a total country-wide blackout

• We also said that over the last few months we have seen a significant increase in unplanned maintenance/breakdowns on our plant (between 5000MW to 9000 MW) that has had a compounding negative effect on power system reliability

- Typical Summer Day

In summer, the system is tight all day up to 10pm, due to the flat  “Table  Mountain”  profile

Introduction

• We were able to avoid load shedding during the Festive Season

• As many businesses and industries reopened last week after the festive season, electricity demand increased. That coupled with the unavailability of some of our generating units meant that we had to go into load shedding on 9th January for the first time this year.

• The power system remains vulnerable, meaning that any extra load or faults in the system may necessitate load shedding.

• New generating capacity and other levers are needed in order to ease the pressure on the system.

• This summer has seen increased use of open cycle gas turbines (OCGTs) and other reserves to balance supply and demand. However there are constrains to the increased use.

• Summer is maintenance season at Eskom. We do planned maintenance in summer, when demand is lower, so that maximum capacity is available in winter. Maintenance season is usually from September to around mid-May, but some maintenance is done during winter

• On the financial side, the liquidity situation is under pressure not just because of the diesel, but also lower sales, building new capacity and the lack of cost-reflective tariffs

2015/01/15 3

Executive summary (1/2)

• Eskom has an elaborate maintenance regime that should maintain the health of our generation fleet ‒ Eskom has a codified maintenance philosophy in place ‒ This philosophy is translated into a detailed plant specific plan (down to turbine, auxiliary

etc.) ‒ The required resources are matched with the plan ‒ This results into a maintenance schedule that is asking for 2000MW of diesel capacity and

an additional 3000MW more capacity than we have

• Our philosophy of keeping the lights on at all costs superseded the maintenance philosophy and has put us into a very difficult position ‒ Keeping the lights on program has avoided load shedding in the last 7 years against all the

odds managing an extremely low operating margin ‒ There is a severe maintenance backlog ‒ Increasingly leading to unplanned outages (load losses) ‒ Which accelerates the problem of not being able to recover on the maintenance backlog ‒ Some of our running plants have partial load losses, because parts are worn out, and we do

not have an time window to replace/ fix ‒ There is a further risk of enduring load losses on the remaining units ‒ Keep the lights on philosophy has created a culture where proactive maintenance is less

important

Executive summary (2/2)

• We have arrived at a point that does not allow us to ignore the health of our plants. Our reserve margin is so thin, that every incident creates a major systems issue and could also have safety implications for the plant.  The  massive  usage  of  diesel  helps  to  bridge  the  problem  somewhat,  but  can’t  help  the  systemic  healing and a shortage of capacity for the coming 3 years appears to be unavoidable

• Eskom is preparing to minimise the effects of load-shedding ‒ Generation will focus on improving 5 KPIs (PCLF, Post Outage liability, UCLF, Slips and Trips) ‒ We will a create a mechanism to transfer the capabilities of our best in class operators (Koeberg

and Matimba) across the rest of the fleet ‒ We will use Koeberg and Matimba as a blueprint to develop the required skills at a station level ‒ We will bring our suppliers on board to deliver the required maintenance at the best possible quality ‒ We will create transparency on what additional spend on diesel will do to the country ‒ We will create a load-shedding schedule that supports our people and economy to the best of our

ability ‒ We will prepare our customers and our interfaces to deal with load shedding ‒ We will continue to keep the public informed on the progress of our new build program and the

implication on our system load ‒ We will continue to pull all possible demand side levers in collaboration with our customers and

government ‒ We will develop a health recovery plan and share progress as we go ‒ We will develop together with NERSA and government a diesel burn policy

IR - 18 to 36 months (Boiler work)

MGO - 6 years (LP  turbines  because  they  can’t  make  9  – 12 years)

Complete Current milestone in progress Target

Significant milestones have been reached towards synchronisation of Unit 6 Erratic power will flow to grid before full power is achieved during the first half of 2015

While the progress towards synchronisation is proceeding very well Eskom has previously indicated that the first unit would be synchronised later than 24 December 2014 This is to ensure that all systems are fully tested, safety-cleared and ready for con- tinuous operation, and that no additional risks impact the good progress made to date.

Conclusion

• The power system will be severely constrained and will begin to ease once new generating capacity comes online and other levers materialise

• The system will remain tight in Summer. Risks of extreme weather related outages such as wet coal, unplanned outage extensions and unavailability of primary energy may worsen the situation

• The country needs to be prepared for load shedding.

• Load shedding is a painful yet necessary decision to protect the electricity power system from a total black-out. A total black-out would have significant consequences on the South African economy

• It remains important for all customers to maintain or achieve 10% electricity savings especially in the commercial, industrial and residential sectors.

• We are committed to provide early warning, however at times the system status changes rapidly. Please follow us on twitter @Eskom_SA and @Eskom_MediaDesk for updates.

22

Communication on the power system • Eskom communicates via the national, regional and local media including social media

regarding its intention to load shed and during the process.

• Load shedding information and schedules are available on Eskom’s website for Eskom customers

• National and regional spokesmen continue to spread the message and share additional information to provide information and clarity

• Stakeholders and direct customers are informed predominantly via social media and text messages and are able to communicate via Eskom’s customer contact centre

• The Power Alert on SABC and DSTV channels continue to provide real-time information on the power system status and encourages customers to switch off. An average of 350MW reduction in demand is observed during this flighting

• Eskom issues a system power bulleting twice a week, and holds a Quarterly system status media briefing to provide regular updates

• Face to face stakeholder engagements provide an opportunity for further dialogue on the status

Electricity users are encouraged to follow Eskom on twitter and Facebook and to

download  the  free  Eskom  App  ‘Myeskom’  from  android  and  Apple  stores.  The  App  is  in process of being updated to provide load shedding information

We will collaborate with our customers to reduce demand- “Less  is  more  −  Live  Lightly!”

Saving electricity reduces pressure on the grid, cuts your electricity bill and reduces South Africa’s carbon emissions

The power system remains vulnerable all day during summer

1. Use air conditioning efficiently

o Set air conditioning to 23ºC

o Close windows and doors to optimise air conditioning

o Switch off 30 minutes before leaving the office

2. Switch off all geysers and pool pumps (all day until 9pm), and invest in a timer

3. If you use the pool frequently, limit pool filtering cycles to two cycles daily, and not between 5pm & 9pm

4. Switch off all non-essential lighting

5. Respond to Power Alert messages by switching off all appliances that are not being used
