Background - 2005 National Energy Efficiency Strategy(NEES)
• The White Paper on Energy Policy (1998) gives a mandate to the Department of
Energy (DoE) to pursue an Energy Efficiency programme which is one of the lowest
cost options for reducing energy consumption.
• The NEES, was approved by Cabinet and released in 2005 to explore the potential
for improved energy utilisation through reducing the nation’s energy intensity (thus
reducing greenhouse gas emissions), and decoupling economic growth from energy
demand.
• The 2005 NEES stated that “Government will ensure that the necessary resources
are made available to establish systems and legislation to facilitate the
specification, collection, storage, maintenance and supply of energy-related data,
according to the requirements of integrated energy planning and international
standards.”

2005 National Energy Efficiency Goals
• The 2005 NEES outlined the overall energy intensity reduction target of 12% by
2015 with sectoral energy efficiency improvement of industry and mining (15%),
commercial and public buildings (15%), residential (10%) and transport (9%).
• Implementation plans were drawn up for each of the sectors with forecasted targets
of energy use reductions based upon assumptions about energy demand over the
next 10 years (2005 – 2015 using 2000 year baselines), including the associated
drivers, such as the economic development and population growth.
• As part of implementing the 2005 NEES, interventions were to be implemented by
concentrating on no-cost and low payback options with a high impact. These were
to be followed by medium to long-term higher investment interventions.
• Since the release of the 2005 NEES, several legislative frameworks had to be
developed or put in place to support the implementation of the Strategy.

National Energy Efficiency Strategy Objectives
The Vision of the NEES is “Reducing the energy intensity of the economy through energy efficiency”
Achievement of this vision will assist in fulfilling the following national objectives:
•Enhancing energy security by making better use of existing and new generation capacity.
•Improving South Africa’s global competitiveness through reduced energy input cost.
•Decoupling growth in energy consumption (and GHG emissions) from growth in GDP.
•Improving global competitiveness will, in turn, contribute to job creation.

2012 Energy Efficiency Policy Mapping Study
• Parallel to the 2005 NEES review process, an EE Policy Mapping Study was
conducted through the South African Energy Programme (SAGEN) in collaboration
with SANEDI and GIZ.
• The outputs of the study provides a comprehensive policy and legislative
context for the development of the National Energy Efficiency Action Plan
(NEEAP) for the Republic of South Africa.
• The purpose of this review was to:
– understand the existing energy efficiency policy and regulatory environment,
key initiatives and programmes, and stakeholders
– develop the framework for a monitoring tool and action plan to be used to
assist in the development of a coordinated, unified and effective approach to:
energy efficiency;
energy conservation; and
demand-side management.

2011 NEES Review Processes (1)
• The first review of the 2005 NEES was done in 2008, a revised document was
then issued for public comments, however the comments received were not
favourably, and requested a more radical alterations including clear definition of
energy efficiency, monitoring system and baseline information that considers the
fact that companies are at different levels of achievements of the targets.
• Parallel to the development of NEES in 2005, an energy efficiency target
Monitoring Methodology Handbook was also developed.
• This EE Monitoring Methodology Handbook provides a detailed input data-
streams required, however its review is also necessary to ensure that the South
African energy efficiency monitoring system take full advantage of the current
development and international best practice updates.

2011 NEES Review Process (2)
• The second review of the National Energy Efficiency Strategy (NEES) started in
2011, with public and sector workshops to discuss the scope and elements of the
NEES that needs review.
• Focused engagements/discussions were also held on the development of
regulations (Income Tax Allowance on EE Savings) and standards (SANS 50010
and SANS 50001) interlinked to the NEES continued with the dti, National
Treasury, DEA, Mineral Resources, the National Regulator for Compulsory
Specifications and SABS as part of this second review.
• The draft second NEES review document was then presented to the Government’s
Infrastructure Development Cluster on the 10th October 2012, and later to Cabinet
on the 20th October 2012.
2011 NEES Review Process (3)
• Cabinet approved the publication of the draft second NEES review document for
public comment, and was then published through the government gazette on the
29th of November 2012. The closing date for the submission of the comments was
30th of January 2013.
• During this period more than 30 comments were received, and the comments were
grouped into the following themes:
(i) The use of year 2000 baselines, (ii) whether NEES targets are aspirational or
mandatory, (iii) The need for an organisational structure; (iv) definition of energy
efficiency as it relates to the mining sector; (v) The use of green procurement;
(vi) Energy services company development and support; (vii) The alignment with
National Development Plan; (viii) The inclusion of energy efficiency indicators; (ix) The
monitoring and verification of energy savings; and (x) The funding mechanism for
energy efficiency measures, etc.
2011 NEES Review Process (4)
• All comments were analysed, and responses provided and this resulted in an adjusted
NEES document.
• Although the 2011 NEES review is completed, the targets were not revised because the
current cycle of the Strategy is ending in 2015. The focus was more of lessons learnt, what
were the gaps and how they were and are currently being addressed; last focus on
potential areas of improvement and propose recommendations of what can still be done.
• In a view to assess energy efficiency trends since the publication of the 2005 NEES, the
Department of Energy also developed a National Energy Efficiency Action/Implementation
Plan.
• The NEEAP’s objectives is also to determine adjusted sector/sub-sector baselines from
those developed in 2000 year in preparation for the post-2015 NEES targets.
• Other key deliverables of the NEEAP for the next 18 months is the development and
implementation of the energy efficiency monitoring system, energy management,
measurement and verification of the past energy savings, functional energy efficiency
incentive scheme.

• The project is being implemented together with South African Local Government Association (SALGA) and South African National Energy Development Institute (SANEDI).
• The project management is through a Project Steering Committee (PSC) with representatives from other government departments.
• Overall objectives are to: • Institutionalise energy efficiency monitoring system and develop energy
efficiency management systems within government structures • Track the developing state of energy efficiency in South Africa using updated
energy efficiency indicators • Identify drivers for, and responses to energy efficiency changes • Monitor progress towards the targets and goals set in the National Energy
Efficiency Strategy • Inform future energy efficiency policies, financing, regulations and plans

NEES Implementation Progress Standards & Regulations (1)
• Standards for Energy use in new buildings, Energy Management, and
Measurement and Verification of energy savings (SANS 104400 XA, SANS 50001 &
SANS 50010 respectively) were developed with South African Bureau of Standards
(SABS) through the dti.
• SANS 50010 will be of use to local industries in four ways, namely to: (i) enable
industries to accurately quantify the true benefits as a result of energy savings
measures; (ii) provide consistent feedback regarding the typical performance of the
various energy savings opportunities available to industry; (iii) let companies
improve their monitoring against targets; and (iv) allow companies to claim any tax
benefits available to them from energy-saving programmes.

NEES Implementation Progress Standards and Regulations (2)
• Standard for Energy Management (SANS 50001) – This standard will assist in
the continual improvement framework to incorporate energy management into
everyday organizational practices. In the context of Energy Management,
companies will do the following:
– Plan: conduct the energy review and establish the baseline, energy
performance indicators (EnPIs), objectives, targets and action plans necessary
to deliver results that will improve energy performance in accordance with the
organization's energy policy;
– Do: implement the energy management action plans;
– Check: monitor and measure processes and the key characteristics of
operations that determine energy performance
19
NEES Implementation Progress Standards and Regulations (3)
• Income Tax Allowance on Energy Efficiency Savings (section 12i & 12L of the
Income Tax Act).
– Draft Regulations on Section 12L have been completed and will be
promulgated by the Ministry of Finance.
– Regulations for 12i is aimed at the large manufacturing investments (i.e.
upgrades, expansions or new facilities that exceed R30 million and R200
million respectively).
• Minimum Energy Performance Specifications (MEPS) of household electricity
appliances are being developed including energy performance of buildings.
• Mandatory provision of energy management plan is being considered with
stakeholders.
