SSAAPPPPHIGHLIGHTS OF THE SAPP ACTIVITIES
In the year under review, the SAPP worked on the followingkey areas, solution and way forward for the region’sdiminishing generation surplus capacity, SAPP restructuringand documentation review, energy trading and marketdevelopment, congestion management and operationaldiscipline, and capacity building.
1. Diminishing generation surplus capacityThe year saw a much greater interaction between theSAPP Executive Committee and the HonourableMinisters responsible for energy in the Southern AfricanDevelopment Community (SADC) on the solution andway forward to the diminishing generation surpluscapacity in the SADC region. From the demand sidemanagement, the SAPP has estimated that the currentgeneration reserve surplus capacity will run out after2007 if SAPP members undertake no new investment ingeneration.This situation is not desirable for SAPP, as it willhave a negative impact on the SADC economies, and willcreate power shortages that will hinder the progress inrural electrification in member states, and scare awayInvestors from coming to invest in the SADC region.
Much of the rise in the power demand in the region hasbeen partially caused by Increase in the population ofmost SADC member states, economic expansion inmember states requiring more power to supply the newindustries, non-economic tariffs in some cases that donot support re-investment in power generation, butallow for large energy intensive users to come into theSADC region and set up their operations, and nosignificant capital injection into generation projects fromeither the private or the public sector. A way ofmarketing and attracting investments into generation andtransmission projects as well as the creation of a suitableenvironment for investment in member countries byaddressing regulation and implementation of costreflective tariffs is therefore necessary for the region.
The SAPP held two meetings with the HonourableMinisters responsible for energy in the SADC.The firstmeeting was held in July 2004 in Windhoek, Namibia,and this was followed up with a second meeting inOctober 2004 held in Johannesburg, South Africa. Atboth meetings, the Ministers reaffirmed theircommitment to ensure that there is no deficiency ingeneration surplus capacity in the SADC region. TheMinisters committed their governments to worktogether with the SAPP in addressing the diminishing
generation surplus capacity in SADC. Whilst theysupport the principles of affordable and competitiveenergy prices, the Ministers agreed to commit toembrace the principle of cost reflective tariffs and toadopt regulatory principles in their respective countriesthat will enhance those tariffs. The Ministerscommended the progress made by SAPP in theimplementation of the identified short-term and long-term generation and transmission projects. Most of theshort-term generation projects in the region were oncourse and expected to be completed andcommissioned as planned.The SAPP took the necessarysteps to secure funding for the short-term projects.
On the way forward, the Ministers mandated the SAPPto convene a regional electricity investment conferencethat will raise funding for the short and long-termgeneration and transmission projects.The conference isexpected to involve a wide range of stakeholdersincluding governments, private sector, and cooperatingpartners. The venue for the conference was chosen asWindhoek, Namibia, and the agreed date wasSeptember 2005 in consultation with otherstakeholders.
2. SAPP Restructuring and Documentation ReviewThe tasks of restructuring the SAPP and the revision ofthe associated documentation were given to the SAPPManagement Committee. During the year, theManagement Committee came up with arecommendation that has now been approved andaccepted by the SAPP Executive Committee forimplementation after the Honourable Ministersresponsible for energy in SADC have signed the revisedInter-Governmental MOU.
In the proposed structure, the Coordination Centre willreport to the Coordination Centre Board composed ofsenior representatives from member utilities. TheCoordination Centre Board will in turn report to theManagement Committee who will report to theExecutive Committee as before. The three sub-committees, Planning, Operating and Environmentalremains and will continue to report to the ManagementCommittee. A new sub-committee, called the MarketsSub-Committee, has been proposed. The duties of theMarkets Sub-Committee will include the continueddevelopment and improvement of the short-termenergy market (STEM) and market rule changes, the

SSAAPPPP• SAPP was created in August 1995 at the SADC summit
held in Kempton Park, South Africa, when membergovernments of SADC (excluding Mauritius) signed anInter-Governmental Memorandum of Understanding forthe formation of an electricity power pool in the regionunder the name of the Southern African Power Pool.
• SAPP is governed by four agreements: the Inter-Governmental Memorandum of Understanding whichenabled the establishment of SAPP; the Inter-UtilityMemorandum of Understanding, which establishedSAPP’s basic management and operating principles; theAgreement Between Operating Members whichestablished the specific rules of operation and pricing;and the Operating Guidelines, which provide standardsand operating guidelines.
• SAPP has twelve member countries represented bytheir respective electric power utilities organisedthrough SADC.
• SAPP has three working committees: the OperatingSub-Committee, the Planning Sub-Committee and theEnvironmental Sub-Committee under a Management
Committee which in turn reports to the ExecutiveCommittee.
• SAPP coordinate the planning and operation of theelectric power system among member utilities.
• SAPP provide a forum for regional solutions to electricenergy problems.
• SAPP has established and is operating the Short-TermEnergy Market.

development of a competitive electricity market for theSADC region, and the granting of membership to trade,risk management and benchmarking.
In terms of documentation review, the revised IGMOUwas circulated to Member States and most of themhave already endorsed the revised document. Othersare doing internal consultation and are expected toapprove the revised document.The revised Inter-UtilityMOU was completed in April 2005 and was circulatedto SAPP members for comments. It is expected that thetwo documents would be ready for signing inSeptember 2005.
3. Energy Trading and Market DevelopmentEnergy trading on the STEM continued throughout theyear, but with reduced power supply as a result of powerrehabilitation projects involving two of the major hydroproducers, HCB of Mozambique and ZESCO ofZambia.The two producers had their generators offlinefor rehabilitation work. A reduction in the supply ofpower coupled with a steady demand in 2004, resultedin increase in the average price of energy in 2004compared to 2003. In 2003, the average price of energywas 0.50-USc/kWh and this increase to 0.74-USc/kWhin 2004. Despite an increase in the price of energy in2004, the actual energy traded was lower due to ashortage of power supply. Only 448-GWh of energywas traded in 2004 compared to 713-GWh in 2003.
The development of the competitive electricity marketgained momentum in 2004 after receiving financialsupport from NORAD. Nord Pool Consulting (NPC),the SAPP Consultant on competitive electricity marketdevelopment, completed the development of the SAPPmarket simulator and produced an executive summary
of the SAPP Spot Market Functional DesignSpecification. Afterwards, calls for expression of interestfollowed by request for proposals were advertised.TheSAPP is in the process of evaluating the proposalsreceived and is yet to make a final decision.
To support the development of the competitive market,the SAPP received financial assistance from Sida for thedevelopment of transmission pricing policy,implementation procedures and the development ofancillary services market in the SAPP. This project isexpected to come up with a pricing policy suitable for acompetitive market and a fully-fledged ancillary servicesmarket.
4. System operations and Operational DisciplineSAPP experienced a total of nine system disturbanceson its network and the main causes of systemdisturbances were attributed to the shortage ofgeneration and to bush fire.The SADC governments areaddressing the shortage of generation in the SAPPcollectively. During the year, the SAPP took steps toremedy the occurrence of bush fire and the situationimproved.
During the year, a meeting on inter-control areaoperational discipline was held at the CoordinationCentre.The purpose of the meeting was to discuss theenforcement of the SAPP Operating Guidelines and itsapplications, especially in emergency situations. A way oftaking the message across to the Operators andControllers of the SAPP network was also discussed.With the SAPP transfer limits reaching their operatinglevels, it is important that operational discipline isobserved to avoid unnecessary system disturbances.
5. Capacity BuildingMembers of SAPP and the Coordination Centreattended seminars, workshops and conferences, ashighlighted in the committee reports, as part of theSAPP initiative to ensure that employees acquire thenecessary skills and training to enable them workcompetitively and efficiently. Each committee of SAPPhas been given the responsibility, via the CoordinationCentre, to organise training and skills programme for itsmembers.

Other Activities
SAPP Power Market ProjectThe development of the SAPP competitive electricity marketprogressed well during 2004. The simulation of the SAPPregional market and the development of the functional anddetailed design specifications of the SAPP trading platformwere both completed during 2004.What is now remaining isthe procurement of hardware and software for the tradingplatform and implementation of the project.
SAPP Pool Plan and Strategic PlanThe SAPP has agreed to revise the SAPP Pool Plan of 2001and to develop a SAPP Strategic Plan. The Pool Plan willprovide a detailed regional perspective by addressing theoptimisation of regional resources and identification of leastcost generation and transmission projects worth promotingfor the benefit of the SADC region. The Strategic Plan willgive an overview of country priority projects.
Short-Term Energy Market (STEM)STEM is a firm energy market and was started in April 2001.In April 2005, STEM clocked four years of operation. Arecord sale of 55-GWh at a cost of USD778,000 wasachieved in March 2005.This is the highest recoded monthlysale since the start of the STEM in April 2001.

EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE CHAIRMAN’S REPORT - CONT.
Dr. Leake HangalaExecutive Committee Chairman 2004/5
The Southern African Power Pool (SAPP) faced a lot ofchallenges in the year under review, but also made greatadvancements in finding the solutions to the challenges facingthe region.The major challenges that were faced included:
Diminishing generation surplus capacityThe SAPP is faced with the challenge of diminishinggeneration surplus capacity, coupled with new congestionpoints appearing within utilities as the transmission transferlimits are being reached.
In the last ten years, the power demand in the SADC regionhas been increasing at a rate of about three percent peryear. Unfortunately, there has not been a correspondingincrement of investment in power generation during thesame period. As a result, the generation surplus capacity hasbeen diminishing steadily. The continued diminishinggeneration surplus capacity would have a negative impact onthe economies of the region and potential investors wouldbe frightened.The diminishing generation surplus capacity islargely due to the rise in the power demand in the SADCregion partially caused by:
• The increase in the population of most SADC memberstates,
• Economic expansion in most member states requiring more power to supply the new industries,
• Non-economic tariffs in some cases that do not supportre-investment in power generation, but allow for largeenergy intensive users to come into the SADC regionand set up operations, and
• No significant capital injection into generation projectsfrom either the private or the public sector. Massive investment in both generation and transmissioninfrastructure would be required to sustain theprojected increase in the power demand in theSADC region.
The Ministers responsible for energy in the SADC regionmet in July 2004 in Namibia and then again in October 2004in South Africa at the request of the SAPP to discuss,develop and propose a regional solution and approach tothe problem. The Ministers mandated the SAPP to host aregional electricity investment conference with the solepurpose of attracting investments in both generation andtransmission.The SAPP Executive Committee has agreed tohost the conference in Namibia in September 2005 underthe theme:
“Emerging Investment Opportunities for sustainabledevelopment in the southern African power sector”.
Following the political support from the Ministersresponsible for energy in the SADC region, the members ofSAPP identified short-term and long-term generationpriority projects in their countries and reaffirmed theircommitment to the implementation of the projects. It wasagreed that SADC should come up with ways of marketingand attracting investments into generation and transmissioninfrastructure. Whilst the principles of affordable andcompetitive energy prices were to be recognised, there wasneed for SADC to embrace the principle of cost reflectivetariffs and adopt regulatory principles in their respectivecountries that will enhance those tariffs.
Members of the SAPP responded well to the challenge ofdiminishing generation surplus capacity by acceleratingshort-term generation projects. In Angola, 260MW ofhydropower was commissioned during the last quarter of2004, in Tanzania 80MW was commissioned at Ubongoduring 2004 and in South Africa; Eskom made 190MW fromCamden available towards the end of May 2005.
SAPP restructuringThe challenge of restructuring the SAPP continued during2004.The SAPP completed the revision of the SAPP Inter-Governmental MOU and circulated the document toMember States for review and comments. Some MemberStates have indicated acceptance of the revised documentand others are still undertaking internal consultation. At aMinisterial meeting of the Ministers responsible for energy inthe SADC region held in October 2004 in South Africa, theMinisters urged the remaining members to expedite theprocess of internal consultation so that the document couldbe signed before August 2005.

The revised IUMOU was completed in April 2005 and was
circulated to SAPP members for comments. It is expected
that the two documents would be ready for signing in
September 2005.
Interaction with Cooperating PartnersAt a biannual meeting of the SAPP Management Committee
held in Swaziland on 3 September 2004, the Management
Committee agreed to send two representatives to the USA
to make a presentation on the SAPP activities and to seek for
continued financial support from USAID.The Committee also
agreed to take the opportunity of the visit to the USA and to
have additional meetings with the World Bank and USEA.
The two SAPP representatives selected for the purpose
were Mr. A de Sousa Fernando, the Management
Committee Chairperson, and Dr. Lawrence Musaba, the
SAPP Coordination Centre Manager.
The two Management Committee representatives held a
meeting with USAID on 5 October 2004 in Washington
DC.At this meeting, SAPP presented the current and future
activities. The aim was to solicit for extended financial
support from USAID up to December 2007, when SAPP
would be expected to be self-sufficient. Senior officials from
USAID, the World Bank, USEA, Nexant, CORE and others
attended the meeting.The meeting was organized by USAID
at the request of SAPP.At the end of the presentation, SAPP
had a closed meeting with USAID at which the way forward
was reached and agreed by the two parties.
The SAPP held a separate meeting with the World Bank on
6 October 2004. The meeting discussed the SAPP Power
Market Project, which is a projected supported by the
World Bank, SAPP activities, SAPP interconnectors and the
Western Power Corridor project.
The World Bank pledged continued financial support to the
SAPP priority interconnectors.
The SAPP also had a meeting with USEA on 6 October
2004. At this meeting, SAPP thanked USEA for the
cooperation that USEA gave to SAPP in the execution of
the SAPP-USEA Technical Cooperation Programme that
came to an end in June 2004. USEA informed SAPP that a
new programme with EDM of Mozambique was going to
start once the terms of reference were drawn up,
completed and submitted by EDM.
REPORT OF THE MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE - CONT.
Mr. Augusto de Sousa Fernando
Management Committee Chairperson (2004/5)
In the year under review, the SAPP Management Committee
had three responsibilities; formulation of a new management
structure for the SAPP, review of the SAPP management and
governance documents, and interaction with the SAPP
Cooperating Partners.
Proposed SAPP Management Structure The SAPP Management Committee unveiled a new
management structure for SAPP to the Executive
Committee at an Executive Committee meeting held in
Malawi in November 2004.
In the proposed structure, the Coordination Centre will
report to the Coordination Centre Board composed of
senior representatives from member utilities. The
Coordination Centre Board will in turn report to the
Management Committee. The Coordination Centre Board
will be responsible for the affairs of the Coordination Centre
and will recommend the approval of the Coordination
Centre budget to the Management Committee.
A new sub-committee, called the Markets Sub-Committee,
has been proposed. The duties of the Markets Sub-
Committee will include the continued development and
improvement of the short-term energy market (STEM) and
market rule changes, the development of a competitive
electricity market for the SADC region, and the granting of
membership to trade, risk management and benchmarking.
The other three sub committees, Planning, Operating and
Environmental remains as before.The three will continue to
report to the Management Committee that will in turn
report to the Executive committee.
Documentation ReviewThe Inter-Governmental MOU (IGMOU) was signed in
August 1995 and lead to the creation of the SAPP. At the
time of creation, national power utilities residing within the
SADC region were the only utilities allowed to join the
SAPP. Non-national power utilities within the SADC region
and national power utilities outside of the SADC were not
allowed to join.
The governance and membership of the SAPP was derived
from the desire for economic co-operation, equitable sharing
of resources and support of one another in times of crisis
under the SADC protocol.The environment under which the
power pool now operates has significantly changed warranting
a review of the SAPP governance and membership criteria.
The revision of the IGMOU and the Inter-Utility MOU
(IUMOU) are expected to address the reforms that have
taken place in the SADC organisational structure, the organ to
which SAPP reports, power sector reforms and restructuring
in member countries and the recognition and admission of
new members into the SAPP such as independent power
producers residing in the SADC region.
The revised IGMOU was circulated to Member States
Utilities and they have endorsed the revised document.
Subsequently the document was sent to the SADC
Secretariat for the SADC Secretariat Legal Counsel to
review the revised document and ensure that it is in
compliance with the SADC protocols and thereafter the
document will be sent to Member States for comments. The
SADC Secretariat completed the review and sent the
document to Member States in April 2005 with a deadline
for submission of comments by the end of May 2005. If the
comments from Member States were found to be
substantial, then the SADC Secretariat would call a meeting
to consider the proposed changes. After the document has
been agreed upon by all parties concerned, the Secretariat
will call a meeting of the Energy Ministers to have the

1 The Short-Term Energy Market
The Short-Term Energy Market (STEM) started in April
2001 and clocked four years in April 2005. In the last
four years, seven member utilities have been
participating in the market and these include BPC, EDM,
Eskom, NamPower, SEB, ZESA and ZESCO, and one
Independent Power Producer, HCB of Mozambique.
1.1 Supply and demand
In terms of supply and demand, the supply reduced in
2004 compared to 2003 as a result of power
rehabilitation projects involving two of the major hydro
producers in the SAPP, HCB of Mozambique and
ZESCO of Zambia.The two hydro producers had their
generators offline for rehabilitation work.As a result, the
power supply on the STEM reduced as shown in Figure-
1. The power demand on the STEM remained steady
throughout 2004 and was similar to 2003.
1.2 Average Energy Prices
A reduction in the supply of power coupled with a
steady demand in 2004, resulted in increment in the
average price of energy on the STEM in 2004 compared
to 2003 as illustrated in Figure-2. In 2003, the average
energy price was 0.50-USc/kWh. In 2004, the average
price shot to 0.74-USc/kWh, and has been on the
increase since then.
1.3 Energy traded and cost
The energy traded in 2004 was lower than in 2003. In
2003, 713-GWh of energy costing USD3.6 million was
traded compared to 448-GWh costing USD3.4 million
in 2004, see Figure-3. The reduction in the amount of
energy traded in 2004 was attributed to the shortage of
supply mentioned in the previous section on supply and
demand.

As part of the Norwegian aid to the NILE basin initiative, the
Norwegian Water Resources and Energy Directorate (NVE)
organized a seminar on regional power trade intended
for representatives from the NILE-region involved in the
power sector.
The seminar was held in Oslo, Norway, from January 24-29
2005. The main objective of the seminar was to illustrate
how national initiatives could be integrated into a regional
approach in order to improve efficiency for the benefit of all
involved parties.The seminar was based on the experiences
made from the development of a regional power market in
the Nordic countries and the Southern African Region.
Dr. Lawrence Musaba, the Coordination Centre Manager
and Mr. Augusto Fernando De Sousa, Management
Committee Chairperson, represented SAPP.The main topics
covered by SAPP were Overview of the Southern African
Power System, Institutional Arrangements in the SAPP,
Review of Power Trading Options under SAPP, SAPP and
Investment - experiences and opportunities, and Review of
Experiences and Lessons Learned.

responded to the call, one from Africa (Enerweb) and
the other from Europe (Nord Pool).
Afterwards, RFP documents were sent to the two
companies that had responded to the SAPP advert on
expression of interest for the development of the
market. The two companies, Nord Pool and Enerweb,
then indicated to SAPP that they would submit a joint
proposal and that if the proposal is accepted, Nord Pool
would be the Lead Contractor and Enerweb would be

2 System Operations
2.1 Changes in SAPP Grid Configuration
• Commissioning of new 330kV transmission lines and
substations in Zambia
The new Kansanshi mine, 200km west of Chingola
town in the Copperbelt province of Zambia, was
energised via a 200km 330kV transmission line from
Luano substation. The initial load at the mine is
expected to be 40MW in the first year.This is expected
to increase to 60MW in the years that follow. A new
42km 330 kV transmission line from Kafue West to
Lusaka West with a 330/132kV 125MVA transformer
and a reconfigured 132kV sub transmission network
were commissioned during 2004 by ZESCO.
• New transformers commissioned in Botswana
The national power utility in Botswana, BPC, upgraded
the transmission line between Segoditshane and
Thamaga substations from 132kV to 220kV and
commissioned two new transformers at Thamaga
substation, each rated at 125MVA 220/132kV.
Completion of the project altered the BPC system
transfer capability, as the transformers at Thamaga
formed a parallel path with the ones at Segoditshane via
the 132kV connection between Thamaga and
Gaborone South.
2.2 System Disturbances
The SAPP expressed a total of nine major system
disturbances on its network in 2004 as indicated in
Table-1. The main causes of system disturbances in
Eskom can be attributed to the shortage of generation
in Eskom. Shortage of generation is now a regional
problem that is being addressed by the SADC
governments collectively. In the ZESA control area,
system disturbances were caused by bush fire. ZESA
took steps to remedy the situation and the occurrence
of system faults as a result of bush fire were reduced. In
the ZESCO control area, the major disturbance that
occurred was attributed to fire under the transmission
lines caused by peasant farmers preparing their fields.
3 Working Group Reports
3.1 Markets Development Working Group

3.2 Telecommunications Working Group
The implementation of the SAPP VSAT
telecommunications project was expected to start in
November 2004 and to be completed after three
months.The project contractors, Emperion, went ahead
and ordered the VSAT equipment from the
manufactures. The equipment for Zimbabwe arrived in
Harare in April 2005. The SAPP was expecting
equipment for the other two control centres to be
delivered before June 2005.
3.3 Traders and Operators Forum
The terms of reference for the formation of the Traders
and Operators Forum were completed and circulated
to members in May 2004 by the SAPP Coordination
Centre. The first Traders and Operators Forum took
place in Johannesburg, South Africa, from the 8-9
November 2004. Traders and Operators from the
different members of SAPP were represented as well as
the SAPP Coordination Centre. At this forum various
issues that affect the traders and operators were
discussed.These included the objectives of the forum as
specified in the terms of reference, the Short Term
Energy Market and trading in the SADC region. Eskom
made a presentation on the Eskom Multi Market Model.
Afterwards, the Post STEM Book of Rules and the STEM
Operations for the past year were reviewed. Also
reviewed were the communication requirements in
SAPP countries, operational issues and training needs.
3.4Operational Discipline Working Group
Representatives from the three control areas (Eskom,
ZESA and ZESCO) together with representatives from
BPC and SNEL met in Harare on 6 August 2004 to discuss
inter control areas operational discipline. After a lengthy
discussion, the meeting agreed that SAPP operators
should adhere to the SAPP Operating Guidelines. The
Working Group also recommended that Controllers and
Operators should be empowered to make decisions and
especially in emergencies.They should also be empowered
to release vital information concerning system faults on the
SAPP network to all members.
4 Financial & Technical Cooperation
4.1The Coordination Centre Budget 2004/5
The Coordination Centre Board approved the
Coordination Centre budget for 2004/5 fiscal year at
USD287,000. At the end of the fiscal year, the actual
expenditure incurred by the Coordination Centre was
USD360,000. This represented an over expenditure of
twenty-five percent. The reasons for the over
expenditure were accepted as due to increased SAPP
activities requiring members of the Coordination Centre
to travel so often, increased bank charges attributed to
STEM operations, increase in the cost of goods and
services in Zimbabwe in actual USD terms and salary
adjustments for the staff of the Coordination Centre.
4.2NORAD Support
The first annual meeting between SAPP and NORAD,
represented by the Royal Norwegian Embassy in Harare,
took place in Harare at the SAPP Coordination Centre
on 26 May 2004.
The SAPP was informed that NORAD has transferred
the responsibility to a follow up of the contract between
SAPP and NORAD on "Development of a Competitive
Electricity Market for Southern Africa" to the Royal
Norwegian Embassy in Harare. The aim of the meeting
was to review the SAPP Power Market Project and the
NORAD financial support for the coming years. SAPP
had prepared a progress report and made a presentation
to update NORAD on the status of the SAPP Power
Market Project. The progress report and the
presentations were well received by NORAD.

The Coordination Centre acquired the PSS/E version30 transmission planning software through fundingfrom NORAD.
The World Bank offered to assist SAPP in seekingfunding for the review of the Pool Plan Studies. Anintegrated regional least cost optimal generation andtransmission expansion program would be developed.
5. Transmission InterconnectionsThe details of the transmission projects at anadvanced stage are given below:
5.1 WESTCORThe Honourable Energy Ministers from Angola,Botswana, DR Congo, Namibia and South Africasigned an Inter-Governmental MOU on co-operationfor the development of the Western Power Corridorproject (Westcor) on 22 October 2004 inJohannesburg, South Africa.
The Chief Executives from the five national powerutilities from ENE (Angola), BPC (Botswana), SNEL(DR Congo), NamPower (Namibia) and Eskom(South Africa) also signed an Inter-Utility MOU. Thiswill pave the way for the creation of a joint venturecompany, Westcor. The Westcor Joint VentureCompany will be registered in Botswana to fund theengineering and financial studies, and will build, own,and operate the generation, transmission andtelecommunications infrastructure should the projectprove to be viable. Initially, each utility will contributeUSD 100,000 towards the setting up of a projectOffice in Gaborone.
5.2 DRC – Zambia• Terminal equipment upgrade at Luano in Zambia was
completed. This would allow for the increase intransfer capacity from 210 MW to 260 MW.
• Other upgrade works to be done to increase thetransfer capacity to 320 MW.
• The upgrades in the DRC would be funded by the
World Bank while the work in Zambia would befunded by the Copperbelt Energy Corporation (CEC)
• SNEL negotiated short term and medium term supplyagreements with ZESA and ESKOM.
5.3 Mozambique Malawi• The Project Planning Facility Fund (PPF) for
Mozambique expired in June 2004. Unfortunately, theproject had the same PPF number as another projectin Mozambique.The World Bank agreed to process anew number. It was noted that the EnvironmentalImpact Assessment on the Mozambique side wascompleted
• There has been a delay on the purchase agreement(PPA) between ESCOM Malawi, the buyer, and thepotential seller. The SAPP Coordination Centre wasrequested to call a meeting and finalize the PPA.
• It is expected that the World Bank funding would beapproved during 2005.
5.4 Zambia - Tanzania - KenyaThe economic analysis for the interconnector is stillpending and there has been changes in Tanzania thathave called for a review of the interconnector studies.The benefits of the Zambia-Tanzania interconnectionare to be compared to the just completed EastAfrican Power Master Plan. Tanzania has discoveredgas deposits and is in the process of constructingCCGT power stations.This cost will now have to becompared with the Zambian hydro supply, whichwould be non-firm, unless Kafue Lower is constructedand commissioned.
The current estimates are that Kafue Lower wouldland power in Tanzania at a price most likely higherthan the Tanzanian gas.
5.5 Zambia - Namibia• This is a proposed 220 kV line Livingstone in Zambia
and Katima Mulilo in Namibia for the transfer of 200 MW.
• A combination of AC and HVDC light technology isbeing studied.

1. IntroductionThe year 2004/5 was eventful. The following is asummary of some of the activities that took placeduring the year under review:
• All utilities recorded a positive growth in electricitydemand.The average SAPP demand growth was 3%.
• The Mozambique Malawi interconnection is now atan advanced stage whereby the line route survey isbeing carried out.
• The completion of the SAPP Five Year Strategic Plan.• The engagement of a Consultant for the development
of a transmission pricing policy, implementationprocedures and ancillary services marketdevelopment through funding from Sida.The major challenge is how to address the diminishingexcess generation surplus capacity in the region. It wasnoted the region would run out of generation capacityby the year 2007, hence is a need to actively promotegeneration and transmission projects in SAPP.
2. SAPP Accredited Capacity Obligation andProject TrackingAs demand is rising at approximately 3% per annumthe Planning Sub Committee is closely monitoring theoverall generation reserve capacity in the region.
Graph 1: Utility Peak demand growth
It has been noticed that excess generation capacity isrunning out quite fast due to positive developments inmost countries. A comprehensive projects track taskwas done. During the reporting period 260MW ofhydropower was commissioned during the lastquarter of 2004 in Angola, 80 MW at Ubongo inTanzania, 2 x 150 MW generators at Kafue Gorge inZambia was rehabilitated giving an additional 30 MWcapacity. At Kariba North the first generator wasupgraded from 150 to 180 MW and 4 x 10 MWmachines were re-commissioned at Victoria FallsPower Station and 190 MW is expected to becommissioned at Campden in South Africa. Thatincreases the regional generation capacity by 620MW.The detailed generation expansion program forshort term and long-term utility priority projects arehighlighted in Table 3 and 4.

3. Transmission Pricing and Ancillary ServicesMarket DevelopmentSAPP is in the process of developing an ancillaryservices market and also reviewing the currenttransmission pricing policy as SAPP is moving from acooperative into as competitive pool. A project hasbeen initiated to address these challenges withfunding from Sida.The project timeframe is from July2004 to December 2007. Detailed terms ofreferences were developed and tenders were floatedin December 2004 for the engagement of aConsultant for the study. A Consultant has now beenappointed who will work closely with SAPP.

Mr. Lovemore Nyahuma of ZESA Environmental
Sub-Committee Chairperson (2004/5)
The momentum that was gathered during the
previous year continued.This witnessed the coverage
of a lot of ground with some of the notable
achievements detailed below.
1. Evaluation of Environmental Impacts of
SAPP Projects
1. WESTCOR
The timetable for the project’s pre and feasibility
studies was approved. An environmental committee
was set up to coordinate the environmental aspects
of the abovementioned project, with guidance and
support from the environmental Sub-Committee.
1.2 DRC-Zambia Inter-connector
The Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) study for
the DRC portion of the line was completed.The 330
kV line on the Zambian side was commissioned in
November 2004 and all environmental issues were
handled according to the Environmental Management
Plan (EMP). The Environmental Council of Zambia
(ECZ) approved the EIA study for the 220 kV line.
Major issues related to relocation and compensation.
1.3 Zambia-Tanzania-Kenya Inter-connector
The EIA study for the 330 kV line from Zambia to
Mbeya in Tanzania was approved. The EIA study for
upgrading the 220 kV line in Tanzania was still to be
done, whilst that for the proposed Mbeya to Singida
330 kV line was in the preparatory stages.The EIA for
the Arusha (Tanzania) to Nairobi (Kenya) 220 kV line
was completed.
1.4 Mozambique-Malawi Inter-connector
The EIA study and EMP for the Malawian portion of
the 220 kV line were completed. Approval of the
study for the Mozambican portion was still being
awaited. Meanwhile, aerial survey was completed and
work was progressing on the resettlement plan.
1.5 Zambia-Namibia Inter-connector
The EIA for the Zambian portion of the 220 kV line
was done in 2000. The EMP has been included into
contracts for the construction of the line. The major
environmental issues are that the line traverses
through forest reserves and compensation for
resettlements.
1.6 Lower Kafue-Gorge Power Station-750MW
The EIA that was conducted in-house was completed.
Some of the environmental impacts from the project
are tree-cutting, noise, erosion, HIV/AIDS, relocation of
17 fishing families. Some of the mitigatory measures
included water and power supply to the affected
community, creation of a nature reserve to protect the
fragile environment and setting up of a health center.
2. Working Group Reports
2.1 EIA Guidelines for Hydropower Projects
Terms of reference for the engagement of consultants
to prepare the guidelines were prepared, discussed
and agreed upon by the ESC.

SSAAPPPP• Techno-economic justification was completed and
accepted by African Development Bank.• Substation works are in progress with designs
completed and earthworks are already underway.• The planned commissioning date is May 2006.
6. Technical IssuesBPC upgraded the transmission line betweenSegoditshane and Thamaga substations from 132kV to220kV and has commissioned two new transformersat Thamaga substation, each rated at 125MVA220/132kV. Completion of the project alters the BPCsystem transfer capability, as the transformers atThamaga will form a parallel path with the ones atSegoditshane via 132kV connection betweenThamaga and Gaborone South. In Zambia a new330kV line was commissioned in November 2004 inorder to feed a new mine in Kansanshi, 200km westof Chingola town in the Copperbelt province ofZambia. The line was energized via a 200km 330kVline extension from Luano substation to Kansanshi.
DRC-Zambia Interconnector Studies A team of Engineers from CEC, SNEL and ZESCOtogether with the Coordination Centre met at theSAPP Coordination Centre in Harare to carry outinvestigations on the transfer capability of the existingDRC-Zambia interconnector to enable SNEL toexport additional power down South. An earlierreview of the studies was done in April of 2002.TheStudy Team concluded that the transfer limit of 210MW from the DRC to Zambia could be increased to310 MW without reactive power compensationequipment. It was recommended that 310 MW beused as the operational limit of the DRC-Zambia 220kV line under normal operating conditions.

SSAAPPPPSSAAPPPPThe following principal accounting policies have been
consistently applied throughout the period:
ACCOUNTING CONVENTION
The financial statements are prepared under the historical
cost convention. No procedures are adopted to reflect the
impact on the financial statements of specific price changes or
changes in the general level of prices.
CURRENCY
The financial statements are expressed in United States
dollars. Assets and liabilities are translated to the relevant
currencies at the exchange rate ruling on the balance sheet
date, income and expenditure items are translated at the
ruling average monthly rates for the period to which they
relate. Realised exchange differences are taken to the
income statement in the year in which they arise. Surpluses
and deficits on translation are dealt with in the income
statement in the determination of net income.
DEPRECIATION
Fixed assets are depreciated over their expected useful lives
on a straight line basis as follows:-
Computer equipment - 3 years
Office equipment - 5 years
Office furniture and fittings - 10 years
The carrying amounts of fixed assets are reviewed at each
balance sheet date to assess whether they are recorded in
excess of their receivable amounts and where carrying values
exceed this estimated recoverable amount, assets are written
down to their recoverable amount.
SPECIAL FUND
Funds granted for specific purposes are not included in the
income and expenditure account, but are accounted for
separately as Special Fund on the balance sheet. They are
maintained in a separate bank account and any interest
earned on the unused funds is credited to the Special Fund.
PROVISIONS
Provisions are recognised when the Organisation has a
present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past
event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying
economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation
and a reliable estimate can be made of the amounts of the
obligation.
RETIREMENT BENEFIT COSTS
Retirement benefits are provided for the organisation
employees through the National Social Security Authority
(NSSA) scheme.
Employer's contributions to the NSSA scheme are charged
to the income statement when due.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
Funds Income
Income received is based on a set budget agreed upon by all
members of the organisation and contributions made by
members are based on set percentages and proportions
based on electricity usage. The income is brought to account
per issued invoice to each of the member countries.
Interest
Revenue is recognised as the interest accrues.
STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
We have audited the annual financial statements set out on pages 3 to 9 for the year ended 31 March 2005.
Respective responsibilities of the executive committee and auditors
The financial statements are the responsibility of the executive committee of the organisation. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
Scope
We conducted our audit in accordance with approved International Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we
plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance that the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An
audit includes:
• examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements,
• assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
• evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
Audit opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements, in all material respects, give a true and fair view, of the financial position of the
organisation at 31 March 2005 and of the results of its operations and cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with
International Financial Reporting Standards.
