2 INCEPTION WORKSHOP

The Inception Workshop took place on 7 October 2016 at the Sheraton Hotel Pretoria. Of the 42 people that were invited, 20 declined/apologies with 18 who attended the Inception workshop (see Appendix 3)

2.1 Inception Workshop Agenda (see Appendix 2)

2.1.1 Welcome and introduction

Ms. Mokgadi Modise opened the workshop and thank all participants for their attendance. She reminded the workshop on the successes of SAWEP Phase 1 as a benchmark for SAWEP Phase 2. She acknowledged the time taken and team work displayed from conceptualisation up to GEF approval of the SAWEP 2 ProDoc. It is a confirmation of South Africa’s seriousness in developing the Renewable Energy sector in South Africa inclusive of all stakeholders such as the South African Wind Energy Association (SAWEA) and supporting organisations such as the GEF and UNDP.

2.1.2 Remarks by UNDP

Mr Walid Badawi UNDP Country Director emphasised that the Inception workshop is a critical step along the way in moving projects into efficient and effective implementation which we are all here today. He went on and introduced UNDP colleagues who attended the workshop:

Mr Wakhile Mkhonza who is the Program Manager for the Energy Portfolio within the UNDP country office

Ms. Adey Tesfaye who is the Regional Programme Associate at the UNDP Regional Service Centre in Addis Ababa that provides technical and administrative backstopping to all of the UNDP country offices in Sub-Saharan Africa. Adey is a critical person especially when it comes to authorisations and making the resources available to the project to expand and making sure that we are not violating any of the standard practices that UNDP is allowed to implement to just finance the project.

Mr Aubrey Manamela is a financial expert in the office. He makes sure that all of the financial reports are sent in the way they must be sent and he will be interacting with the project team more directly to make sure that everything is on track.

Mr Badawi also welcomed back Mr Andre Otto who was the Project Manager for the successful SAWEP Phase 1 project and to continue as Project Manager for SAWEP 2.

Mr Badawi then summarised the key workshop objectives for the day:

• 
  Getting to know, besides the core team, other key stakeholders who we will be spending a lot of time in the next few years.
  
• 
  Understanding the roles and the responsibilities of each of the partners involved in the program as it pertains to the immediate management of the project.
  
• 
  Inform on the governance structures which include the project steering committee that will need to be formalised and adopted and enacted during this inception workshop and other implementing partners that are involved with the various components of the work plan.
  
• 
  Revisiting the project document that was signed in December 2015 since ten months have lapsed and implementation has not fully moved which may need some “tweaking” within limits of the design of the project and related work plan up until 2019 but more specifically what remains between now and the end of the year and what could be done between now and the end of 2016 and more fundamentally the duration of 2017 and to iron that out in as detailed a fashion as possible.
  

Mr Badawi noticed that the draft SAWEP 2 Annual Work Plan for 2016 (AWP 2016) indicate a total of USD 37,000. He challenged the workshop to see if we can push the envelope on expenditure a little bit more. The ability to push the envelope this year will have hopefully more positive implications for future years because organisationally now UNDP globally has actually asked all offices around the world to look at expenditures for 2014, 2015 and 2016. Based on those expenditures up until December 2016 will determine allocations that offices will be receiving in future years. So we have a window that is closing and what that means is South Africa may not benefit as much as it could because of under disbursement in one project or another.

Mr Badawi concluded his presentation by listing some of the successes of SAWEP Phase 1 to strive for and to serve as an inspiration in expediting the implementation of SAWEP 2:

• 
  Establishment of a Green Power Guarantee fund at the DBSA that enabled the City of Cape Town to sign a twenty year power purchase agreement with the Darling Wind Farm Company which was South Africa’s first IPP wind farm and still operating today.
  
• 
  Development and implementation of WASA to identify and quantify South Africa’s wind resources that will be expanded in SAWEP 2 with the WASA Phase 1 wind measurement masts that was financed by SAWEP Phase 1, still operating and continue to support a growing wind resource data bank for South Africa. The wind data is of particular value for energy planning, investigation of seasonal and prediction of climate change impacts on SA’s wind resource and for wind power producers to locate their facilities.
  
• 
  Contribution with the establishment of the SAWEA as a professional and influencing wind industry platform it is today.
  

2.1.3 Overview of UNDP-GEF & SAWEP II

Mr Wakhile Mkhonza presented an Overview of UNDP-GEF & SAWEP II, see Appendix 4 in which he described the UNDP operating within the UN system and interaction with the GEF. UNDP being one of the founding partners and one of the largest implementing agencies for the GEF and focusing on sustainable development. The UNDP Regional Service Centre for Africa, based in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia providing the UNDP Country Office backstopping technical expertise through Mr Rob Kelly, regional technical advisor and UNDP GEF headquarters in NY.
Some time and discussion were spent on the Project Implementation Roles and Responsibilities (slide 11). The blue arrows indicate the delegation of authority to implement GEF projects. It goes all the way down from the GEF Secretariat to the national implementing partner who ultimately will delegate authority to implement to some degree to the project implementation unit of which the project manager is the core. The red arrows indicate the reporting responsibilities in the project. It is important to understand that the Project Steering Committee (PSC) does not have delegated authority to implement the project – no blue arrows connecting with the PSC and as such it is also not liable for the implementation of the project. The DoE signed the SAWEP 2 ProDoc and therefore the DoE is the Executing Entity/Implementing Partner for SAWEP 2 and responsible for the implementation of the project and its deliverables. However the expectation is for the project development and results to be relevant and to be informed beyond just the implementation partner DoE and this is where the PSC comes in – it informs, support, guide the DoE and disseminate within the broader and related government development objectives the results of the project. The DoE reporting to the UNDP Country Office with feedback into the UNDP and GEF systems.
DoE requested and UNDP will support the project with procurement and payment of services and goods with the specifications set by the PM and to be approved by the DoE. The other responsibility of the UNDP is monitoring the implementation of the project and financial management that the resources requested match what is to be delivered.
Questions were raised regarding the implementation of the PSC recommendations, role of the PSC with project reporting and accountability of the PSC with procurement of goods and services for the project and co-financing.
For recommendations falling outside the project scope, the PSC will have a role to guide how those recommendations will best be operationalised through those structures. For recommendations within this project scope and within the work plan, when we prepare work plans for subsequent years, it will be the responsibility of the steering committee to approve those work plans and that’s where they will be integrated so that they can be resourced so that they can be operationalised.

It is ultimately the responsibility of the DoE but it relies on the input of the PSC to approve of project progress reports that it is of the expected quality and to inform where corrective actions are required.

As indicated the delegation authority for the implementation of the project is with the DoE and therefore the PSC is not liable for the procurement of goods and services for the project.

Whereas for activities emanating from the implementation of the project and included in the annual work plan and directly related to any of the PSC members which financial implications are not included with their co-financing that was pledged with the design of the project, the project will cover the cost of those activities.

2.1.4 GEF Monitoring and reporting Requirements, Procedures

Ms Adey Tesfaye presented Introduction to the Project Cycle & Milestones, see Appendix 5. The Project Cycle shows the SAWEP 2 project start date December 2015, the date that the SAWEP 2 ProDoc was signed, for a period of 4 years ending in 2019.

The Project Monitoring and Evaluation Milestones & Requirements can be summarised with dates as follow:

• 
  Inception Workshop which took place on 7 October 2016.
  
• 
  Project Implementation Review (PIR) which is an annual reporting requirement which starts in June and ending in October and to be conducted by the Project Manager making use of an online form. The 1^st PIR for SAWEP 2 to be completed in June 2017.
  
• 
  Midterm Review will be conducted by an independent consultant during the mid-cycle of the project, mid 2018 with a;
  
• 
  Terminal evaluation report also to be conducted by an independent consultant and the end of the project.
  

It was agreed to look into the composition in terms of local and international reviewers making up the mid term review team.

GEF Tracking Tool (TT)

There is also the GEF Tracking Tool (TT) to be completed that track progress made by GEF-financed projects toward global targets set out in the GEF results framework. This will be completed at three different stages: Baseline TT submitted at CEO Endorsement – done and forms the basis for the Midterm TT that is prepared before the Midterm Review and Terminal TT prepared before Terminal Evaluation. The PM and the PSC are responsible filling in the GEF Tracking Tool.

Risk Management

Project risks have to be identified and revised at least every six months and to be reported to the UNDP country office in Pretoria.

Financial Management

The project preparation grant cannot be transferred to the main project. There is a project management cost, which is 5% of the budget and cannot exceed beyond the 5%. For this project it's allocated USD169,250. Miscellaneous and supply costs should be kept within three to five per cent. If there is a need to transfer some money from one outcome to another outcome, the maximum is 10%. Beyond that it has to go to the GEF Secretariat for endorsement. If there is a new outcome which contribute towards the same objective of the project, it is acceptable but it shouldn't be 5% of the total grant. If it is beyond that, we have to approach again the GEF Secretariat. Budgets not allowed or which require prior approval are hospitality cost, reimbursement cost and any other costs that are not related to the project and that are not allowed to be charged to this project. Once we receive the annual work programme, there is a slight chance to re-revise it, the budget or redo the budget. So for this case a maximum of five thousand dollars could be adjusted. Beyond that it has to be justified by the Department of Energy.

It was acknowledged that the project was delayed due to institutional issues and basically 3 years (2017 to 2019) are left to implement a 4 year project (2016 - 2019). This could provide for motivation for extension towards the end of the project, but for now to focus on getting the project implementation going.

2.1.5 Background and presentation on technical aspects of project and (AWP) annual work plan for remaining of 2016

The PM started off by contrasting the 2.5 MW Darling Wind farm that was supported by the SAWEP Phase 1 and commissioned in May 2008 and still operating. The current scene in November 2016 is 1.2 GW, 230 Darling Wind farms in operation in the DoE REIPPPP portfolio, see fig 1.

Fig 1. Darling Wind Farm (2008) and DoE RE IPPPP wind farm (2016)

Fig 1 shows the significant, exponential development, maturity of the wind industry in South Africa since its humble start in 2008 and accelerated with the introduction of the DoE RE IPPPP in 2011. This put the implementation methodology of SAWEP Phase 1 and SAWEP 2 in perspective. SAWEP Phase 1 started with a “zero” basis wind industry in South Africa and its projects (e.g. support of the Darling Wind farm, start of the Wind Atlas for South Africa (WASA) focussed on creating an environment for sustainable wind energy development in South Africa whereas SAWEP 2 came in at a time that the wind industry development is already high up the learning curve. The focus of SAWEP 2 and approach to implement its 4 identified components should then be to identify where the gaps and opportunities in the South African wind industry are and to focus on closing those gaps thereby strengthening and enhancing the environment for sustainable wind energy development in South Africa.

It was therefore important with the SAWEP 2 ProDoc developed some time ago 2013/2014, to undertook 1^st a high level overview with key stakeholders regarding the SAWEP 2 ProDoc components, outputs and activities that it is still relevant and to identify where adjustments needed to be made. This review with key stakeholders took place prior to the Inception workshop with the results that were captured in the comments section of Table 1.

Component 3: Support for the development of small-scale wind sector (USD299 587)

Outputs 3	Activities	Comments
Output 3.1: Options that have the best prospects for implementation in support of the small-scale wind sector outlined	• A review of studies on the small-scale RE sector, focusing on wind energy, UNIDO SMMEs in the biogas sector, performance of the small-scale wind sector in the context of the Small RE Programme, • Assessment of the potential of the small-scale wind sector to provide off-grid, mini-grid and/or hybrid renewable energy supply, recommendation of options to address hurdles faced by small-scale wind energy project developers • Specification of a demonstration project for small-scale wind, including a clear indication of the organisations that will participate • Close consultation with the Integrated National Electrification Programme (INEP), DTI, SANEDI, South African Local Government Association (SALGA), Association of Municipal Electricity Utilities (AMEU), GIZ and SAWEA.	No successful rural demo (e.g. mini-hybrid) General notion not viable in urban, peri-urban without (enforced) enabling policy, regulation (net metering etc) PV is the dominant technology in the small IPP program so far. Combine solar, wind mini grid may just overcome the cost and scale disadvantage of small scale wind vs PV, other renewables Need a Darling Wind farm type approach of multi party collaboration, sharing the risk with an innovative financing solution with long term certainty for replication Some companies exporting even before DoE RE IPPPP came into being, Opportunity now to develop local industry riding on the success of the big DoE RE IPPPP Demo plant – SAWEP’s role will be limited to technical assistance only, potential guarantee, buy down?
Output 3.2: Demonstration project for small-scale wind implemented	• Specifying the technology configurations that will be investigated e.g. grid-connected, off-grid, mini-grid, hybrid or any feasible combinations • Finalising the budget and confirming funding availability, including from co-financing and/or technology partners. • Finalising the Terms of Reference (ToRs) and site selection in regard of the demonstration project • Procuring the companies that will implement the demonstration project. • Overseeing the project’s implementation, including the implementation of the M&E framework. • Generation of analytical reports, including consideration for scaling-up should the demonstration project so justify.

Component 4: Training and human capital development for the wind energy (USD840 686)

Outputs	activities	comments
Output 4.1: Vocational apprenticeship training programme involving TVETs, SARETEC and wind farms developed and implemented	Support for a vocational apprenticeship programme for wind farm operations and maintenance developed by DHET’s Further Education and Training (FET) Branch and GIZ. Training will be up to NQA Level 4. The focus will be on Eastern Cape-based TVETs, due to the province’s developmental challenges.	The experience from training of wind service technicians shows that the direct link between training and industry is crucial. But even for the service technician training (with significant, clearly defined and stable demand for trainees) aligning training with industry demands is not trivial at all. The GIZ Skills for Green Jobs programme supports TVET colleges to implement renewable energy vocational training programmes.
Output 4.2: Wind Energy Service technician training programme involving SARETEC, TVET colleges and wind farms implemented	Support for SARETEC’s training programme for wind energy technicians, noting the expectation that the minimum entry qualification will be NQA Level 4 – obtainable at TVET level. The programme will also support the development of TVET lecturers on the basis of the ‘Trainer-of-Trainers’ principle. A bursary scheme for financially distressed prospective trainees will be established. The training platform will also be used to develop additional capacity-building products and services that will contribute towards SARETEC being financially viable.	The curriculum for the wind energy service technician is finalized (GIZ) The argument should be made here that TVET colleges can serve as an important feeding source for SARETEC. It is unlikely that the SARETEC training facilities can be replicated in other centres due to cost and scale. Bear in mind that capacity at SARETEC is also limited. Perhaps the project could consider placing a person in SARETEC as a resource to oversee the collaboration with TVET colleges.
Output 4.7: Training of national, provincial and municipal Government officials and industry professionals on wind energy	Support for training on strategic aspects of wind energy projects. The focus will be on assisting SARETEC to establish a platform from which it will enhance its prospects for commercial viability while contributing to the sustainability of the wind energy sector by deepening managerial and professional capacity.	Specialist development of Executive short accredited courses aimed at Gov and related officials, especially Industry Executives (potential “money spinner” for SARETEC)
Output 4.3: Artisan development programme involving the National Artisan Development (NAD) programme, TVETs, selected Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and Tier 1 and 2 suppliers, established. This will be linked to the Government’s localisation strategy	Support for the development and implementation of a vocational training programme targeted at building skills in manufacturing value-chains that are relevant to the wind energy industry, taking into account the outcomes of DTI’s Wind Localisation Roadmap project. This will be in collaboration with DHET’s National Artisan Development (NAD) programme. These initiatives will be aligned with the National Skills Development Strategy (NSDS)	Not necessarily be new but could be coming from other industries like the automotive industry (gear boxes, for example) mechatronics and electric fields as well as boat building (composite blade manufacturing). I would recommend that the first action of the project should be to undertake a skills audit to determine the skills required in the component manufacturing value chain. Closely linked, dependent on the DoE RE IPPPP localisation and economic development planning.
Output 4.4: Technical advisory services provided in the development of a bespoke curriculum for a wind energy training programme, focusing on ‘engineering fabrication’	Support for the development of a bespoke curriculum for wind energy manufacturing, taking into account national priorities as formalised in national programmes, for instance DTI’s wind energy Localisation Roadmap.
Output 4.5: Training of TVET lecturers who will implement the wind energy-related ‘engineering fabrication’ curriculum	Support for the development of a programme of training of lecturers in specialised methods used in the manufacture of wind energy components. This will depend on the priority components as determined by the wind energy Localisation Roadmap (e.g. turbine blades, nacelles, hubs, etc).
Output 4.6: Participating TVETs and SARETEC equipped with standardised training kits, materials and/or equipment in support of the delivery of approved wind energy-related curricula	Support for specialised training kits and equipment to enable experiential learning as a complement to the teaching of theory. This will also serve to prepare trainees for training on equipment and components as provided by respective Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and other relevant industry suppliers	Need for physical infrastructure (class rooms) and the appointment of additional lecturers. There is always support available for equipment and training of lecturers but nowhere to place the equipment and have the lecturers teach to quote PEC. Some outstanding wind equipment/training kits needs at TVET, SARETEC

Summary conclusions, Table 1

Component 1: Outputs and activities already implemented. To focus on review, enhancing the monitoring framework & interpretation of numbers vs baseline for effectiveness of the DoE RE IPPP development criteria in terms of sustainable development and linkages, impact and feedback on technology development, education and training (see component 4).

Action:

Update outputs and activities

Component 2: Outputs and activities still relevant.

Action:

Prioritise wind mast site selection and procurement of masts and equipment to commence installation of the 4 wind turbines with wind measuring equipment ASAP that would basically leave only two years 2018 and 2019 for wind measurements. Important that the SAWEP 2, WASA 3 wind measurements and data will be compatible and match the accuracy and consistency with WASA 1 and WASA 2 results obtained over 3 years of measurements for cost efficient implementation in the shortest time possible. Prioritise support of the DEA SEA Phase 2 project that has already started.

By prioritising the implementation of Component 2 (WASA 3 and DEA SEA Phase 2 support) would also commit 55% (USD1 933 868/USD3.5 million) of the SAWEP 2 budget upfront. The extension of keeping WASA 1 and WASA 2 masts operating at least up to WASA 2 project end 2018, for at least a one year overlap with WASA 3, is highly recommended in terms of the integrity and usefulness of a long term uninterruptable wind data bank for South Africa but is not included the SAWEP 2 budget.

Component 3: Outputs and activities still relevant.

Action: Start with a status report with options to support the small-scale wind sector outlined, including options and specification for a pilot project(s). The apparent lack of “interest” and reluctance to invest time and money in the development of a small scale wind industry in SA, provides the best opportunity for innovation in this project through a similar approach taken with the development and innovative financing of the Darling Wind farm in SAWEP Phase 1 .Component 4: Outputs and activities are relevant but most already under implementation through GIZ and recently Danish support.

Action: Start with a Status and Analysis of Wind Energy Education, Training, Skills and Capacity building in South Africa, including skills audit that would identify the gaps, opportunities as well as the linkages, feedback with the DoE RE IPPPP and technology development to focus on for the remainder of SAWEP 2.

Above analysis and conclusions were then used to draw up a draft Work Plan for the remainder of 2016, see Appendix 6

Mr Walid Badawi remarked that it is important to develop and “absorb” in the project activities an exchange rate gain strategy to look at how to re program the additional Rands for dollar since the project document was signed in Des 2015. Also to see how to extend the 2016 AWP budget beyond just participation in Windaba and options for participation in the upcoming COP 22 in Marrakesh. What and whenever new activities are brought in as opportunities, there has to be alignment with the overall objectives of the programme on how do it benefit the programme.
Mr Gerhard Fourie, Chief Director Green Industries at the DTI, informed that it is important to include smart grids in hybrid systems options in support of small scale wind development as it is basically one of the drivers of the hybrid systems market.
SAWEP 2 Work plan 2017

In developing next year’s SAWEP 2 Work Plan 2017 (AWP 2017), we should have by the 1^st quarter of 2017 component 1 updated activities with component 1, 3 and 4 (AWP 2016) terms of references advanced for implementation with component 2 up and running. The results of comp 1,3 and 4 “opening” projects will set the scene for focused, in depth projects and related activities to be implement over the remainder of SAWEP 2 period. We can therefore expect an upscale in committing the remaining (55% committed through comp 2) SAWEP 2 budget towards the latter half of 2017.

Ms. Mokgadi informed that it is for the formal project structures such as the constituted members of the SAWEP 2 Project Steering Committee to review, at their 1^st PSC meeting, the draft AWP 2016 for finalisation and implementation.
Risk Assessment

It was agreed that the PM in consultation with the DoE will consult internally in updating the SAWEP 2 Prodoc risk log as it impact and will require the input and consent of a broader representative group.

2.1.6 Closing remarks

The closing remarks was delivered by Ms. Noma Qase, Director Renewable Energy at the DoE. Ms. Qase indicated that in terms of attendance we had extended invitations to more than the number of people that who attended the workshop. We tried to cover as many stakeholders as possible to include provincial representation. But unfortunately some people could not make it. Eskom too was invited. We achieved the main objectives of the workshop through information sharing and discussion on the set up, roles and responsibility, procurement and funding in SAWEP 2. The draft SAWEP 2 Annual Work Plan for remainder of 2016 was introduced to be reviewed for approval at the 1^st sitting of the SAWEP 2 Project Steering Committee which is the next target in getting the implementation of SAWEP 2 on a firm footing. She announced the workshop closed by thanking all participants for their invaluable input and invited them for lunch.
