    Clean energy and development for South Africa: Background data, Report 1 of 3
    (2007) Haw Mary; Hughes Alison
    The study has three main objectives, firstly to update both the models and the data developed and captured during the first integrated energy planning process. Secondly, to project future scenarios for the South African energy system and determine how these developments compare to current sustainability indicators and thirdly to develop additional capacity for energy modelling in South Africa and particularly within the DME. The aim here is to lay out the energy system in South Africa as it is today, the options for the supply and transformation of energy that are currently used and that may be available over the planning period. The document also informs the base case for the model and attempts to clearly document assumptions that have been used to develop the economic, demand and population projections. As the model is to be made available to the DME for use by its energy modelers and planners on completion, the document serves as a guide to the model for the energy officers who will be using the model.

    Clean energy and development for South Africa: Results, Report 3 of 3.
    (2007) Hughes, Alison; Haw, Mary
    The objective of this document is to report on the scenarios considered and compare the costs and social impacts using the sustainability indicators. The scenarios reported on are the energy efficiency improvements in the commercial, industrial, transport and residential sector, an increased penetration of biofuels and renewables and increased use of nuclear energy. The scenarios contain alternative fuel and appliance choices. Deviations from the base case are introduced in order to determine the effect specific policies or actions will have on the final energy demand and related emissions and costs of the system.

    Clean energy and development for South Africa: Scenarios, Report 2 of 3
    (2007) Hughes, Alison; Haw, Mary
    This report is the second of three reports outlining sustainable development pathways for South Africa. It forms part of the reporting for the project entitled “Clean Energy and Development for South Africa” funded by the British Foreign Commonwealth office. The study has three main objectives, firstly to update both the national LEAP and MARKAL models and the data developed and captured during the first integrated energy planning process. Secondly to project future scenarios for the South African energy system and develop “roadmaps” for sustainable development using sustainability indicators and thirdly to develop additional capacity for energy modelling in South Africa and in particular within the Department of Minerals and Energy (DME). The objective of this document is to lay out the scenarios considered. It attempts to clearly define and record all the assumptions used to develop the scenarios. As the model is to be made available to the DME for use by its energy modelers and planners on completion of the project, the document serves as a guide to the scenarios in the model for the energy officers who will be using it. All model results and sustainability indicators developed are reported in the third report. Sustainable development has several objectives, it aims to improve the environmental impact of energy use as well as the social impact of energy use. The scenarios are designed to offer insight into the effect that following different policy pathways will have on the goals of sustainable development.
