EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

On July 25, 2011, Smunda Mokoena of Best Infrastructure and Investments (Bii) was retained as Course Director under the auspices of the partnership between the Regional Electricity Regulators Association of Southern Africa (RERA) and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Southern African Trade Hub (SATH) to provide a Regulatory Commissioner Orientation Course.

The terms of reference for the assignment required that a two-and-half day course for regulatory commissioners be designed and that it must also take into account the regulation of renewable energy. Further, the Course Director in collaboration with RERA and SATH was required to identify and recruit suitable instructors (lecturers) for the course.

The course was originally planned to run from September 25-28, 2011, but due to logistical problems it was postponed to October 23-26, 2011. The course was to be held at the Southern Sun Pretoria Hotel, Pretoria in South Africa.

The broad themes that the course covered were theory and principles of regulation, cost reflective tariff designs, capacity expansion plans in the Southern African Development Community (SADC), economic regulation, regulation of new investment, renewable energy regulation, energy efficiency and assessing regulatory performance. A number of regulatory experts who previously served as commissioners and board members of regulatory authorities were drawn from within Southern Africa and recruited to provide instruction on the course. Due to changes to the scheduled time of the course and in the absence, some of the instructors withdrew from the course. Eventually only the Course Director and three instructors were available to participate as presenters of the course.

Four days before the course would be presented; it was cancelled in view of some unexpected late cancellations of the participants that had registered for the orientation course. It was considered unviable to proceed with a small number of participants far below the required minimum number. By this time the course material and presentations for the course had been completed.

The course material and preparation for the course is not considered wasted effort, since there is demand in the region and beyond for such tailor-made courses on regulation and it could be presented at another opportunity. Funds allowing, RERA-SATH should consider ways of holding these programs with some regularity.

1. INTRODUCTION

The RERA-SATH Regulatory Commissioners Orientation Course was scheduled to be presented from October 23 to 26, 2011. Prior to the presentation of the Course, there was insufficient number of confirmed participants to justify continuation with the course and it was cancelled on October 20, 2011.

The RERA-SATH Terms of Reference for the Course Director included the following key tasks:

a) Design a Course that takes into account the regulation of Renewable Energy; b) Schedule a two and half day course for commissioners; c) In Collaboration with RERA and SATH recruit instructors; d) Prepare Course materials; e) Course Delivery; f) Carryout an evaluation of the course (with inputs from SATH and RERA) g) Produce a Course Report

The deliverables for the course were:

a) One regulatory training course for Commissioners or Board Members; b) At least 15 people from various SADC Member States trained in energy regulation

leading to enhanced capacities and more effective utility regulation; c) Post course report highlighting key findings, issues, lessons learned and

suggestions for improvement d) Course evaluation Instrument and report.

In view of the cancellation of the Commissioners Orientation Course, course delivery and an evaluation of the course could not be done. This Commissioners Course Report is the last of the deliverables by the Course Director to RERA and SATH for the Commissioners Orientation Course.

2. SCHEDULING OF COURSE

The course was initially scheduled to take place from September 25 to 28, 2011. The first announcement of the course was made on September 5, 2011, when a SATH registration form and the Commissioners Course Outline were sent to more than 40 RERA contact persons. The course registration deadline was given as Wednesday, September 07, 2011, and the required minimum number of participants targeted was 15. Participation was open to energy regulators, power utility experts, government officials, consultants, academicians and other interested parties in regulation.

The Course Director performed the following activities to recruit Instructors as contracted:

Preparation of course outline (See cover page in Appendix C);

Preparation of scope of work for instructors (Sample cover page in Appendix D);

Communication with Instructors and sourcing of CVs.

The course was postponed for reasons beyond the control of the Course Director and Organizers. On September 20, the Course Director was advised that due to challenges of logistics, time constraints and the tightness of the schedule to meet the number of participants to make the training economically viable RERA and SATH would reschedule the training program to October to ensure success. The Course Director’s contract was not amended as a result of the change of dates occasioned by the postponement. In addition the contractual processes for the instructors that would support the Course Director to carry out the training had to be initiated.

6


The second announcement indicating that the course would take place from October 23 to 26, 2011, was made on September 19, 2011.

The changed course dates did not suite all the instructors, hence the Course Director had to recruit replacement instructors and redo the scope of work for these instructors. It was further required to swop sessions around to accommodate instructor availability. The session numbers were retained, but the sequence of presentation altered.

On October 19 the organizers advised the Course Director and potential participants in the Commissioners Orientation Course that: In view of some unexpected late cancellations of the participants that had registered for the training course, it was deeply regretted to advise that the course had been cancelled because it is unviable to proceed with a small number of participants far below the required minimum number.

At the time of the cancellation of the course, some of the Instructors, if not all, had done some preparatory work and the Course Director had commented on their draft presentations. However, the Course Director was advised by some of the Instructors that they have not been contracted and had been informed by SATH that there is no need to contract with them as the Course has been cancelled. The Course Director enquired regarding how the instructors were going to be compensated for the work already completed up to then. Further, the Course Director believed that notwithstanding the cancellation of the Commissioners Course, the material developed will be the basis of the course or be used in the future.

3. ORGANISATION OF THE COURSE CONTENT

The course consisted of ten sessions under the themes indicated in Table 1 below. In the final programme, the course was to be presented by the Course Director and three instructors.

4. INSTRUCTORS

The organizers were regularly updated on the changes in the assignment of sessions to instructors and the progress with the preparation of course material. This was done to monitor progress and assist with the contracting of the instructors.

The status of the preparation of course material on October 19, 2011, when the course was cancelled, was as shown in Table 2. All the preparation of course material and presentations were completed by that time. Only the presentations had to be made.

The level of effort (LOE) indicated in Table 2 included the time for delivery of the presentations at the course.

It must be noted that while the final number of instructors were four (including the Course Director); discussions were initially held with no less than seven potential instructors.

5. COURSE EVALUATION INSTRUMENTS

The Course Director designed a course evaluation instrument for each session of the course and an overall course evaluation instrument (Appendix A). SATH did, however, submit an overall course evaluation form (Appendix B) which would have been used for the overall evaluation of the course.

Each session of the course was to be evaluated on the following dimensions:

Course Content

Course Material

Instructors

Time Management

Discussion Management

A four point scale was used for the session evaluation, as follows:

.Criteria Score

Did not meet needs / expectations 1

Partially met needs / expectations 2

Met needs / expectations 3

Exceeded needs / expectations 4

Did not participate N/A

The SATH overall course evaluation instrument evaluates the overall course on the following dimensions:

Training Content;

Facilitator and method of delivery;

Additional comments o 3 most useful things o Other topics that should be covered o How has the training enhanced your capacity to perform? o What follow up action to be taken? o Other Comments

A 5 point scale is used in the SATH evaluation with 1 being “poor” and 5 being “excellent”.

6. COURSE MATERIAL

The course material prepared for the Commissioners Orientation Course was submitted to the Course Director and collated in a folder for handing out to participants in electronic form (CD) on registration.

An electronic copy folder was prepared, but was not copied to disk (CD) at the time when the course was cancelled. This folder contains the following:

Session presentations;

Background reading material (References);

Course evaluation forms;

Course outline.

When the course was cancelled, the documentation to be handed out on registration and the CDs were not yet prepared for each participant. However, the material was referenced in the Course Outline and Presentation file. The cover pages of these documents are attached, as follows:

Course Outline (Cover attached as Appendix D)

Presentations File (Cover and Table of Contents attached as Appendix E)

7. CONCLUSIONS

There is room to improve the contracting process of the Course Director and Instructors in terms of the clarity, timing and co-ordination between the organisers and persons managing the contracting process to work with the Course Director and Instructors.

The rescheduling of the Commissioners Orientation course had a negative effect on the course taking place and on the instructors availing themselves to participate.

The preparation for the course remains valuable and the course material could be updated and reused in forthcoming such courses. Given that the cancellation was beyond the control of the organisers, Course Director and Instructors, it is proffered that the instructors be compensated for the work that they have already completed, notwithstanding that some contracts have not been concluded.

From the responses received following the Practitioners Training Course, there is clearly a need for such training interventions.

8. RECOMMENDATIONS

The following recommendations are made to improve future RERA-SATH courses:

Instructors

The contracts with instructors should be firmed up in good time to prevent withdrawal of instructors and the need to reallocate sessions to new instructors with short notice periods.

There should be effective co-ordination between parties who are involved in the course content and those involved in contracting with those parties.

The Scope of Work of the Course Director and Instructors should be clarified upfront.

Notwithstanding the cancellation of the Commissioners Orientation Course, it is recommended that instructors be compensated for the work they have already completed.

10


Overall recommendation

The Commissioners Orientation Course should be rescheduled for 2012 and if a positive response is received it should be scheduled every year for a period of three years, and the Course Director and Instructors be contracted well in advance to present the training.

APPENDIX D – SCOPE OF WORK SAMPLE

Southern Africa Trade Hub

Draft Scope of Work

Consultant: Mr. Thembani BUKULA

Title: Course Instructor/Facilitator – Orientation Course for Commissioners/Regulator Board Members

Period: 19 – 28 September 2011 (For preparation and presenting as per Course Program)

Level of Effort: 3 days

I. Project Overview

The Southern Africa Trade Hub (SATH) seeks to increase international competitiveness, intra-regional trade and food security in the Southern Africa Development Community (SADC) region. SATH will realize this through supporting progress on the SADC regional integration agenda and increasing the trade capacity of regional value chains in selected sectors.

SATH’s team of technical advisors will deliver targeted assistance to governments, the private sector and civil society organizations throughout the SADC region to realize the advantages of greater regional and global trade linkages and export-oriented business development across eight activity components. One of those components is:

Strengthened Regional Capacity for Energy Sector Planning and Cooperation.

On the other hand the Regional Electricity Regulatory Authority (RERA) in SADC regards the building of capacity and information sharing among regulatory board members/commissioners and practitioners will contribute towards the harmonization of regional regulatory frameworks. Harmonized regional regulatory frameworks may contribute in unlocking regional infrastructure energy projects that will contribute towards facilitating regional integration and trade.

II. Objective

As part of its support to capacity building of regional energy integration, SATH in collaboration with RERA, will facilitate the training of Regional Regulatory Commissioners to reinforce good practices of utility regulation. In recent years the SADC Region’s demand for energy has outpaced generating capacity resulting in an energy crisis as is evident by the experience of frequent load-shedding and power outages. Furthermore, there is also an increasing awareness that Regulatory Agencies have a critical role in promoting investment in the option of renewable energy resources that exist in the region and thereby contribute to not only enhancing security of supply, but also in mitigating the

17


destabilizing effects of climate change on economic growth, hydropower generation, as well as agriculture production and food security in the region.

Energy Regulators need to build the capacity to accelerate the contribution of clean energy technologies to the energy mix of the region through appropriate policies, regulations, and practices.

The main objectives of this consultancy are:

1. To prepare material for an Orientation Course for Commissioners/Regulator Board Members from the SADC Region;

2. To present course material to the Commissioners/Regulator Board Members and facilitate discussions for the duration of the training session;

3. To serve as course instructor during the orientation session and preparations thereof; and

4. To serve as Consultant to RERA and SATH on the training material through the Course Director.
