| dc.description.abstract | The Energy Research Centre (ERC) welcomes the publication of South Africa’s draft 2012 Integrated Energy Plan (IEP 2012). We offer these comments, in the hope that they may contribute in the process of making the bold, well informed and robust final integrated energy plan whose implementation can see the country’s economic, social and environmental goals attained. Before delving into the comments that should be considered in the final IEP, ERC found it crucial to congratulate the Department of Energy on achieving such a milestone of producing an official energy systems model with supporting database and supporting data input methodologies, more so because its an OPEN source energy model which can be interrogated by all members of the society. A first iteration of results has been produced and this in itself is a significant achievement. From this perspective the IEP 2012 can be considered a success. This shouldn’t however discourage constructive criticism on technical problems many of which the IEP modelling team are already aware of. The comments are made with a clear understanding that the IEP draft document just showed the results of the model thus far and these comments are mainly on the modelling process and assumptions used. | en_ZA |
