Analysis of the various factors and the practicalities and<br />

likelihood of implementation of the different scenarios<br />

showed that the “Risk-adjusted emission portfolio<br />

(MYPD capacity)” scenario was the most likely one to<br />

manifest. This was the recommended and expected IRP<br />

scenario.<br />

Therefore the TDP Generation <strong>Plan</strong> for the period <strong>2011</strong><br />

to <strong>2020</strong> is based on this scenario as detailed in the IRP<br />

report. The detail of this plan is discussed below:<br />

Return to Service stations<br />

The Return-to-Service (RTS) units at Grootvlei and<br />

Komati power stations are approved projects which are<br />

assumed to be completed in 2010 and <strong>2011</strong> as per the<br />

project schedules.<br />

DoE OCGT power stations<br />

The IRP indicates that the Department of Energy (DoE)<br />

will implement the two OCGT power stations in <strong>2011</strong>.<br />

These are assumed to be as previously proposed by the<br />

DoE with one close to the Dedisa MTS and the other<br />

close to the Avon MTS. They will be based on 147MW<br />

units and will be modelled as follows:<br />

• 2 x 147MW units at Dedisa<br />

• 5 x 147MW units at Avon<br />

These are treated as peaking plant in the TDP studies<br />

and are used under contingency conditions or if required<br />

<strong>Transmission</strong> <strong>Ten</strong>-<strong>Year</strong> <strong>Plan</strong> <strong>2011</strong>-<strong>2020</strong><br />

during system peak, but for integration studies, they are<br />

studied at full output under system peak conditions to<br />

ensure that all the power can be evacuated.<br />

REFIT Renewable Generation<br />

The REFIT programme will be going out for procurement<br />

in the near future. The REFIT offers special tariffs for the<br />

following renewables:<br />

• Wind<br />

• Small hydro<br />

• Landfill gas<br />

• Concentrating solar thermal<br />

• Solar photovoltaic<br />

The total REFIT generation is expected to be 725MW,<br />

with wind generation allocated 400MW. There is<br />

presently no indication of the REFIT applicants that will<br />

be granted licences by NERSA, and they are widely<br />

dispersed geographically. The 325MW of REFIT stations<br />

other than wind are not modelled for purposes of the<br />

TDP due to the uncertainties surrounding both their<br />

location and output.<br />

The 400MW REFIT Wind may be a small number of large<br />

wind farms or a large number of small wind farms. This<br />

makes it difficult to model in the transmission network<br />

files. Based on the location of wind and applications for<br />

wind generation connection, it has been decided to<br />

model the 400MW as four representative wind farms
