B2.3 BACKGROUND INFORMATION DOCUMENT

Purpose of this Background Information Document and ERM’s Role

The Department of Energy (DoE) plans to procure power

from a Floating Power Plant to be located within the Port

of Saldanha Bay to help meet South Africa’s electricity

requirements. Transnet will need to grant the rights in the port

for this project and also plans to enable the development of

Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) import facilities within the Port of

Saldanha to support the DoE’s gas-to-power programme. The

DoE and Transnet are considering similar projects in the Ports

of Richards Bay and Ngqura.

The Floating Power Plant and LNG Import Facilities each

require Environmental Authorisation through Environmental

Impact Assessments (EIAs) from the National Department

of Environmental Affairs (DEA) in terms of the National

Environmental Management Act (NEMA), 1998 (Act No. 107

of 1998), as amended. This document provides background

information on both projects and EIA processes. It aims to assist

interested and affected parties to understand the background

to the projects, and to provide guidance on getting involved.

Interested and affected parties can play a very important

role in the EIA processes and therefore we encourage you to

register as an interested and affected party. This will help us

to keep you informed throughout the EIA processes. You

will have opportunities to engage in discussions on issues,

provide comment on the draft Scoping Reports, various

specialist study findings as well as the draft EIA Reports that

will be produced through the EIA processes. Your input will

inform the report’s content, and will also be included in the

final submissions to DEA, the body that will take a decision on

the proposed developments.

ERM’s Role in the FPP and LNG Facilities

The DoE has appointed Environmental Resources Management

Southern Africa (Pty) Ltd (ERM) as the independent Environmental

Assessment Practitioner for the EIAs for both the Floating Power

Plant and the LNG Import facilities in Saldanha Bay. The EIA will

be undertaken in several steps, scoping issues and alternatives,

coordinating specialist studies and compiling Environmental

Impact Reports that set out the anticipated impacts and how

these might be mitigated. The EIA reports are prepared to inform

an environmental authorisation decision to be taken by the DEA,

the competent authority. A further crucial part of ERM’s role is to

facilitate the active involvement of interested and affected parties

in the process. All of this activity must be conducted to the highest

standards of independence and professionalism.

Get involved. Register as an interested and affected party.

Please complete the enclosed registration/comment sheet or contact ERM to register as an I&AP.

The Gas to Power Programme

The National Development Plan (NDP) identifies the need for South

Africa to invest in a strong network of economic infrastructure

designed to support the country’s medium- and long-term

economic and social objectives. This requires the development

of 10,000 MWs of additional electricity capacity to be established

by 2025. To achieve this, the DoE has developed a 20-year energy

plan for South Africa, the Integrated Resources Plan 2010-2030

(IRP 2010), which encourages the participation of independent

power producers (IPPs) in electricity generation in South Africa.

The Independent Power Producers (IPP) Office was established

by the DoE, the National Treasury and the Development Bank of

Southern Africa (DBSA) to facilitate the involvement of IPPs in the

generation of electricity. The IPP Office has to date successfully

procured 6327 megawatts (MW) under the Renewable Energy

IPP Procurement Programme. It is currently intended that a

further 3126 MW of new generation capacity will be generated

from natural gas. For the Gas IPP Procurement Programme, the

DoE through the IPP Office has, in collaboration with Tr ansnet,

developed a two-phased approach. The first phase is to introduce

Floating Power Plants in three of South Africa’s commercial ports

– Saldanha Bay, Ngqura and Richards Bay.

Separate applications and studies are being undertaken by private

parties for gas power plants and related infrastructure near the

Port. Following a competitive bidding process to be conducted by

the DoE through the Independent Power Producer (IPP) Office, the

DoE plans to select only one of these parties to develop a gas

power plant outside the Port boundary. The competing bidders

need to conduct EIAs for their respective project proposals.

Project Description

are special purpose marine vessels which incorporate power generation equipment and only require a

land based switchyard to distribute power. The proposed Floating Power Plant Project has both land-based (terrestrial) and marine-based

components, including the following:

Floating Power Plant which may be a power barge or a self-

propelled powership (marine);

Mooring infrastructure in the form of anchors, dolphin

structures and a piled temporary access jetty;

Floating fuel storage facilities (marine);

Connection of the fuel storage facility to the Floating Power

Plant for the transfer of liquid fuel/gas on board (marine);

Underground or aboveground power lines connecting the

Floating Power Plant to a floating or terrestrial switchyard for

the conversion of the power to a higher voltage (marine and

terrestrial);

Transmission line to Blouwater substation for distribution into

the national power grid (terrestrial).

Several Floating Power Plants could be moored within each port

depending on the power generation capacity, the capacity of the

relevant substation to distribute this power and space within the

Port. There is currently 332 MW capacity available at the Blouwater

substation.

The Floating Power Plant will be powered by liquid fuel and may be

converted to a gas powered facility at a later date. Fuel is typically

supplied from a bunker barge or tanker vessel moored close to the

Floating Power Plant. Refuelling the fuel storage vessel typically

takes place once a week via a fuel supply vessel. The Floating

Power Plant will operate 24 hours per day for 365 days per year.

The Floating Power Plant would be moored within the Port of

Saldanha to the north of the bulk iron ore loading facility on the

western side of this causeway. Power would be evacuated via a

switching yard and a 132 kV transmission line (approximately 7.5

km) to the Blouwater substation, which is managed by Eskom

The proposed LNG Import Facilities aim to secure gas supplies to feed to land-based gas power plants, other industrial users and FPPs.

The facilities will provide for the importation, storage, regasification and the transmission of natural gas to a distribution hub, and will

include both land-based (terrestrial) and marine-based components. There are currently two (2) infrastructure technologies under

consideration for this, including the following:

Floating Regasification

This would consist of the following components:

A marine import facility consisting of a loading quay, berthing and mooring dolphins, access and services trestle and pipeline;

A permanently moored Floating Storage and Regasification Unit (FSRU) (marine); and

A gas pipeline connecting the fuel storage and regasification facility to a common gas distribution hub from which the gas will be

distributed to the power plant and domestic users via pipeline.

EIA for a Floating Power Plant and LNG Import Facilities

Land-based Regasification

The would consist of the following components

A marine import facility consisting of a loading quay, berthing and mooring dolphins, access and services trestle and pipeline;

A dock at an existing facility in the port or a special purpose docking facility to be constructed for an LNG transport ship;

A cryogenic gas pipeline connecting the LNG carrier to storage and regasification facilities on land;

A gas pipeline from the regasification unit to a gas distribution hub which will then distribute the gas further to a power plant and

other gas users. Electricity is connected from the power plant to the national grid.

Once operational, LNG carriers will supply the LNG Import Facility which will discharge the LNG load to the FSRU/FSO over a period of

approximately 24 hours. It is envisaged that the LNG Import Facility will operate for 24 hours per day for 365 days per year. The location

of the LNG import facility would be within the Port of Saldanha.

Project Inputs, Outputs and Potential Concerns

There are a number of activities associated with the construction and operation of a Floating Power Plant and an LNG Import Facility

that may result in environmental and social impacts. At this stage the issues of concern shown below will be addressed as part of the EIA

process. Additional issues and concerns will be identified during the public participation process.

The potential impact of noise and air emissions associated with each Project, and what this means for people and the broader

environment in the area.

The potential impact of the Projects on terrestrial animals and plants.

The potential impact of the Projects on marine life.

The management of waste during the Project lifespan.

The benefits associated with the Projects, such as increased energy production for the country, and employment creation.

The Environmental Impact Assessment Processes

The two (2) Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA) for the proposed Floating Power Plant and LNG Import Facility are being

conducted in terms of the National Environmental Management Act, 1998, (Act No. 107 of 1998), as amended (NEMA).

The proposed Projects trigger listed activities in EIA Regulations Listing Notice 1 (GNR R983), Notice 2 (GNR 984) and Notice 3

(GNR 985), as well as activities listed in the National Environmental Management: Waste Act, 2008. Therefore, these Projects will

require full Scoping and EIA Processes to support any environmental authorisation decisions. A typical full Scoping/EIA Process is

explained below.

Scoping Phase – The purpose of the scoping phase is to communicate the proposed project to interested and affected parties,

to identify possible positive and negative impacts, alternatives, as well as to determine the terms of reference for specialist studies

to be conducted in the EIA phase. This will be set out in the Scoping Report. The Draft Scoping Reports for the projects will be

made available for a thirty (30) day public comment period.

EIA Phase – The possible positive and negative impacts identified in the scoping reports will be assessed in the EIA Reports.

The significance of the impacts will be rated using a prescribed methodology. As the preferred design and technology has not

been selected for the projects, an envelope of project description options and impacts will be assessed. The Environmental Impact

Reports arising from this phase will include Environmental Management Programmes, which will detail proposed management

measures to minimise negative impacts and enhance positive impacts. The draft EIAs will be made available for a thirty (30)

day public comment period.

In addition to environmental authorisation being applied for through NEMA, the following permits may be required:

Water Use Licences in terms of the National Water Act, 1998 (Act No. 36 of 1998);

Air Emissions Licences in terms of the National Environmental Management: Air Quality Act, 2004 (Act No. 39 of 2004); and

Coastal Water Discharge Permits in terms of the National Environmental Management: Integrated Coastal Management Act, 2008

(Act No. 24 of 2008).

The National Department of Environmental Affairs (DEA) is the competent authority for both EIAs. The Final Scoping Reports and EIA

Reports, along with all stakeholder comments, will be submitted to the DEA for decision making.

Subject/Ref Gas to Power Programme Key Informant Interview

Venue Hoedjies Baai Hotel

Date of Meeting 6 November 2015

Present Dr Sue Jackson, Bivalve Farmers Associate of South Africa Lindsey Bungartz, ERM David Shandler, ERM Muller Coetzee, ERM

Date 11 November 2015

The following are notes of comments made by Sue Jackson at the meeting:

The aquaculture industry employs approximately 130 people in Saldanha Bay. People do not need specific qualifications to be employed in the industry, and the industry has absorbed a lot of those who lost jobs in the fishing industry (which has been declining and a number of operations have closed).

Over the past ten (?) years, the aquaculture industry has experienced a 5 to 10 percent annual growth rate and this can be increased with a potential of ten times the historic growth rate. The Department of Agriculture, Fishing and Forestry is supporting the aquaculture industry and TNPA is looking to set aside an additional 60ha for aquaculture in Big Bay.

BEE operators farm in Small Bay as they do not have the boats or technical capabilities to work in Big Bay. They operate within small profit margins.

There is one operator in Big Bay. The Big Bay site is essential for the final phase of oyster growth in order to clean them out and improve their taste. If this area becomes unavailable, it could have a big impact on sales, especially to the Far East, which has a very sophisticated taste.

There is concern that dredging activities and the release of heated water will have a negative impact on the aquaculture industry. The increased sediment load could kill off mussels and oysters, or increase the levels of toxins found in mussels and oysters which will mean that they cannot be sold.

There is a further concern that if aquaculture farms were to be moved in order to accommodate the Project in Small Bay, the farms would no longer be feasible for emerging farmers. The BEE farmers would not be able to absorb the additional cost of fuel, and they also do not have the crafts or skills necessary to operate in the rougher sea conditions found in Big Bay.

In addition, if operations are adversly impacted by dredging, compensation would be complicated, as operators will loose their share in the market,

Meeting minutes

particularly the foreign market. Their customers will go elsewhere, and by the time they are back up and running, they will not have a client base.

It was noted that the results of the marine modelling will need to be carefully looked at by the Bivalve Farmers Association of South Africa, to determine the potential impacts that the Project will have on the aquaculture industry. There is a need to look at the least disruptive dredging method, in order to limit impacts.

Meeting minutes

Subject/Ref Gas to Power Programme Focus Group Meeting, Business Community



Present See attendance register


The following are notes of the key points made by business community representatives present.

Health and Safety Roles and responsibilities in the event of an offshore spill have been defined through an Incident Management System workshop with local and national government. It was asked whether this Project fit into that system.

Alternatives As the short term option looks expensive and high risk, it was asked why it was being introduced as a solution.

Cumulative Impacts Cumulative issues need to be addressed carefully. There are “a lot of bits and pieces” being developed in Saldanha, and new developments get added on all the time. It was asked how all of these project impact on one another.

Meeting minutes

Subject/Ref Gas to Power Programme Focus Group Meeting, Civil Associations



Present See attendance register


The following are notes of the key points made by civil society representatives present.

Health and Safety There was concern around the risks involved with the storage and handling of LNG. The facilities must comply with South African legislation around major hazardous installations.

A question was raised as to what the size of the exclusion zones around the LNG import facilities and the FPP would be. It was also asked whether these projects compatible with other port plans?

It was asked whether there are different ways of building gas facilities. It was suggested that what is proposed is not necessarily the safest way.

There is no on-land storage facility available for fuel for the FPP. It was asked whether it was to be transported by vessel. If so, this may constitute a huge risk.

Marine Ecology The marine ecology is on a knife-edge in the Bay, for example white stumpnose have hardly bred in the past few years. This fish is an important species for recreational and subsistence fishing.

There is concern that the dredging and the release of hot water will have a detrimental effect on the marine ecology. There is evidence that even the smallest amount of dredging has implications for the marine life and negative effects on the water quality.

There is concern around the potential change in water temperature and what this would do to the aquaculture industry and marine ecology. It was asked what the temperature of the heated water would be.

Some people may want to use the dredge spoils, so this should be disposed of on land, and the sea water should be allowed to seep back into the ocean through some type of settling pond.

Meeting minutes

No structures should be placed into the Bay that can effect current patterns as this can result in further beach erosion problems.

Cumulative Impacts Cumulative issues need to be addressed carefully. There are “a lot of bits and pieces” being developed in Saldanha, and new developments get added on all the time. It was asked how all of these project impact on one another.

There is concern that the Port does not have the capacity to deal with an unplanned event. The carrying capacity of the Port must be determined.

It was asked what happened to the Ankerlig project and whether there was any relationship between the two Projects.

Socio-economic Impacts There is always a promise of employment when these projects are introduced, but there is a low skills base in Saldanha Bay, and inevitably projects bring in their own labour and don’t employ local people.

Socio-economic Development and Enterprise Development must be expanded on in the Scoping Report.

Tourism is very dependent on natural resources and the natural beauty of the area. If this was compromised the tourism industry would collapse.

If the aquaculture projects are to be moved, a new base for the industry would have to be provided.

The ability and commitment of the Municipality to fulfil its responsibility in terms of such development is a concern.

It was asked whether there would be any benefits for the Western Cape.

Alternatives As the short term option looks expensive and high risk, it was asked why it was being introduced as a solution.

EIA Process There is a concern that the 30-day comment period would run over the Christmas break, which is awkward in terms of timing for those in the tourism industry as it is their busiest time of the year.

It was noted that Anchor Consultants have over 16 years of experience in the Bay through the State of the Bay reporting. It was therefore suggested that they should be appointed to undertake the marine ecology study.

Meeting minutes

Both EIAs must include an in-depth avifaunal study.

It has been confusing to have two projects introduced at the same time. The processes for the respective projects should be split going forward.

The man of the street does not know the difference between LPG and LNG.

It was requested that information on examples of FPPs elsewhere should be provided. It would be good to know of working examples.

It was noted that Compressed Natural Gas has really helped reduce emissions in India.

Monitoring must be undertaken during construction and operation, and the results must be made available to the public.

South Africa - overall strategic context• The South African economy needs to diversify primary energy sources to

ensure optimal economic growth and development, both the short and long

term.

• Emerging requirement for “load-following” capability to support expansion of

the Renewable Energy strategy.

• The National Development Plan (“NDP”), the draft Integrated Energy Plan

(“IEP”) and the Integrated Resources Plan 2010-2030 (“IRP 2010”),

acknowledges gas as key to economic growth of the country.

• As part of achieving the objectives of the IEP, the IRP 2010 explicitly

requires natural gas as an alternative energy source for electrical power

generation.

Background

5

• The Department also recognises the need to fast-track the

short term power projects from all economically viable

generation sources.

• This would use a different fuel source in the short term but

the technology would be convertible to gas as fuel source as

soon as it is available.

Background

6

13/11/2015

4

• The Ministerial determination of 18 August 2015 in respect of the

Gas IPP Procurement Programme (the “Determination”) provides

for procurement of 3126MW, which represents years between

2019-2025 of the IRP.

• The gas industry will maximise the socio-economic benefit to South

Africa and ensure energy security and primary energy

diversification.

Background

7

• Gas is cleaner with less CO2 emissions compared to burning coalor other petroleum fuels.

• Combined Cycle Gas Turbines (CCGT’s) generate electricity with

55 to 60% efficiency compared to coal at 32% – 37%.

• The logistics of gas supply is becoming more flexible andinternationally available.

Why Gas?

8

13/11/2015

5

• Early Power which is convertible to gas.

• Timely, reliable and affordable power and gas.

• Delivery and funding through the private sector.

• Minimising the burden on the National balance sheet.

• Ensuring that our actions facilitate the longer term development of

the power and gas industry in South Africa – providing an anchor

demand for gas and stimulating economic growth.

• Having appropriate involvement and participation of South Africa

State.

• Taking an approach that will involve “least regrets”.

Objectives of Programme

9

• Short Term: considering both Marine Based and Land Based

Power Generation Options, with a view that neither options

should foreclose any of the Medium Term Power Generations

Options.

• Medium Term: LNG terminals in ports.

GAS TO ENERGY PROJECTS: SALDANHA BAY 1. Meeting Transnet NPA , 16 Oct Willem Roux: Port Manager Abigail Links: Port Planning* Quentin Kordom: Environmental Manager* Quentin Brink Willem Brink: Port Captain* Janet Brink: Port Engineer* *Team identified that would be directly involved and to liaise with. (to copy all in on info): NPA:

Aware of antagonism towards them – are concerned that it may impact on our EIA Concerned over various planned activities not being integrated also concerned that infrastructure (roads, services etc may not be ready to support) Confirm short term floating power station in Small Bay and medium to long term in Big Bay Refers to PRDW multi-criteria analysis which informed the above locations Will need to dredge to 18m LNG safer than LPG in their opinion Want to actively participate to ensure that the process runs smoothly Internal Project Planning Workshop planned for 26 October, they suggested that we should perhaps attend.

2. State of the Bay Workshop Their may be some important contacts here, especially during focus group discussions and assessment. Transnet introduced some ongoing and planned activities aimed at controlling ore dust, including controlling product moisture content at source, chemical suppressants, enclosed transfer points, stormwater management, conveyer belt washing, wind screens or barriers etc. Two year programme. Dr Sue Jackson: Bivalve (mussels and oysters), farmers’ association of SA: [email protected] Mussels and Oysters very sensitive to changes in water temperature as warmer the water the slower the growth. May have implications for any potential warm water discharge into the Bay.

Possible Moving the farms to be carefully considered, presently achieve three times growth rate of elsewhere in Europe. No other bays with similar conditions in SA. Important job provider (130 employees, mostly without high level qualifications). Area can sustain 10% growth if enough space can be provided on a secure lease. This could translate into 4800 jobs. Ballast water discharge a pollution concern, also foreign vessels bringing in exotic species on their hulls and in ballast water. Clair Pengelly: Green Cape, a sector development agency [email protected]. Looking at sustainable development opportunities in water constraint areas, with the view of developing tools to empower decision making. Emphasised the need for more collaborative platforms such as the SBF. Jacques Bezuidenhout, University of Stellenbosch Ironically found that the farmed mussels in small bay and big bay healthier than those along the coast. May relate to faster growth that is achieve, that reduces build up of toxins in the mussel flesh. Dr Barry Clark : Anchor Environment Identified health categories for various sampling points within the Bay. Ongoing monitoring presence of e-coli and various metals, that may affect the ecology of the Bay and Lagoon system. Concerned about increasing development in and around the Bay.

Hi Guys,

Thanks very much for this information.

I would like to register GreenCape (Myself as an I&AP).

We are busy with an EIA in Atlantis for a Gas to Power facility for 1500MW. (The CSIR through Paul Lochner are on point for this work).

Could I suggest that for the need/desirability requirements that you touch base with each other. (They are hugely reinforcing of each other, and it is a very positive sign for the Country that this is moving ahead).

I have copied in Kelly from the CSIR - She can provide you with any details of this work.

kind regards, Mike

Dear Sir/Madam

I am emailing you on behalf of Environmental Resources Management further to our invitation to you to attend ourOpen Day event on Thursday 5 November. This email is to invite you to an additional discussion to be held on 6November 2015.

As you will know we are independent environmental consultants appointed to undertake EIAs in Saldanha Bay on aproposed gas importation terminal, as well as a short term floating power station to be located in the Port ofSaldanha Bay that would link to the national grid.

We are committed to ensuring that our process of consulting key stakeholders adequately meets the challenge ofthis important process. To this end, we have identified that there would be value in having focus group meetingswith invited representatives of three key constituencies, namely civil society, local business and industry and theaquaculture industry. The purpose of these focus group meetings is to bring together small groups of individual’srepresentative of these key sectors to have an in depth discussion on your perceptions and concerns regarding the

proposed developments. These will allow us to develop a more in depth understanding of as we go about our roleas the independent environmental assessment team.

We invite you or a member of your organisation to the following meeting:

Sector: Business/Tourism Focus GroupTime: 13h30 to 15h30Venue: Hoedjiesbaai Hotel, 38 Main Rd, Saldanha Bay

We apologise for the short notice of this invitation, but trust that you will value the opportunity to engage with ourteam in greater depth with others from your sector. We greatly look forward to your participation and to seeing youat the focus group discussion.

Floating power stations can tide SA over during electricity crisis Aug 02 2015 20:38

Johannesburg - Despite a serious push from powership and barge operators to use floating power stations as a stopgap for South Africa’s power crisis, operators have been told to get in line with a host of companies offering to help South Africa overcome its energy crisis.

Eskom confirmed this week that it had been approached by a number of potential emergency power suppliers, including those with powerships and barges. But it said it did not have the authority to procure power from any independent power producer.

Earlier this year, a leaked letter from ousted Eskom chair Zola Tsotsi to the Minister of Energy Tina Joemat-Pettersson, sung the praises of powerships as a quick solution to the country’s short-term power shortfall. But Tsotsi’s fall from grace has not done the powership companies any favours.

The management crisis at Eskom has shifted the decision making to the department of energy, which has not made any move to pursue a deal with the companies.

In April, the department’s deputy director-general for policy, planning and clean energy, Ompi Aphane, said the department had work streams looking at options such as power barges and powerships, but that no decision had been made. Neither Eskom nor the department wanted to reveal who else they were talking to.

An Eskom spokesperson said: “As the right with regard to the procurement of power vests with the department of energy, they have all been referred to the department’s anticipated gas-fired power procurement programme.”

The family-owned Turkish conglomerate Karadeniz is one of the operators pushing for an agreement with South Africa. A deal to provide the country with power would be the most lucrative piece of business for its emerging powership subsidiary Karpowership.

Karpowership made presentations to Eskom and the energy department earlier this year. It said its powerships could replace the current expensive diesel-powered turbines generation and save Eskom R6.3bn annually.

Diesel costs are the key to the pitch. Instead of the turbines generally used by diesel generators, the ships are carrying reciprocating engines. They resemble giant car engines with pistons and burn heavy fuel oil (HFO), an unloved refining by-product traditionally used to fuel ships.

This allows it to generate power at tariffs below what it costs Eskom to run its expensive diesel-powered open-cycle gas turbines.

Karpowership’s sales director Patrick O’Driscoll said the ships should be able to slot easily into Eskom’s existing independent power producer programmes, docking outside Saldanha, Coega, Cape Town, Richards Bay or Port Elizabeth.

But the cost-saving comes at an environmental price due to the dirty fuels used.

Karpowership said the HFO was only a “bridging” fuel until a reliable supply of cleaner fuels becomes available. “In the case of HFO operations, we comply all local and international environmental standards,” it said.

3

Proponents of powerships say it is an ideal short-term replacement for Eskom turbines. Eskom intends to convert the turbines using natural gas, but have put the plans on hold because they need turbines to run constantly in the wake of South Africa’s electricity crisis.

According to Karadeniz, the ships can provide power at R1.70 per kilowatt-hour or less. This estimate is based on the use of HFO, but the ships could also run on more expensive, cleaner fuels.

The diesel turbines cost R2.30 while Eskom’s average generation cost is 74c per kwh. Power from the country’s Renewable Energy Independent Power Producer Procurement Programme, which Eskom is obliged to buy, costs on average R1.40 per kwh, but that is falling.

Karpowership recently signed an agreement with Ghana and also supplies 25% of Lebanon’s energy and about 16% of Iraq’s electricity.

It started as a small, land-based power contract with occupied Iraq after the US invasion in 2003, but it has not been smooth sailing for the powership business.

Its second contract, a $560m (R7bn) five-year-deal with Pakistan, exploded after a few months.

It started with the powerships allegedly failing to deliver the power contracted for, which Karadeniz blamed on the low quality of provided fuel and payment problems.

Pakistan claimed nonperformance penalties from the company, which it refused to pay, leading to a seizure of four powerships. After international arbitration, one of the ships was released, but Pakistan is still holding the others.

Karadeniz said it was still engaged in arbitration with Pakistan as a result of Pakistan’s contract breaches.

“We are claiming damages from Pakistan for its unlawful arrest of our powerships, among others,” it said.

Power ships are proving to be a quick fix temporary solution to electricity constraints around the world. In Africa, theyare used to good effect in Ghana. The floating power stations are either anchored off shore or moored at quayside andtransmit power through cables or transmission lines.

Energy Group)

THE most expensive type of electricity is no electricity," says Zeynep Harezi, business development manager with Turkish energy producer Karadeniz Holdings’ Karpowership unit.

The company is in SA to convince Eskom it can save the utility "billions" by switching off its expensive gas turbines — and getting the electricity it needs from floating power plants known as power ships.

The family-owned, Istanbul-based company is the only operator and manufacturer of self-propelled, ocean-going vessels which are designed to be mobile power plants. The group builds power ships at a rate of one every 150 to 180 days.

Harezi says the loss to the economy from load-shedding can be calculated to be about US$3 per kilowatt hour (kWh). This is because of the loss of production and confidence in an economy, which harms economic output and growth.

SA has repeatedly cut growth expectations for this year and for next because of erratic electricity supply from Eskom. In February national treasury cut its forecast to 2% for 2015 from 2,5% and 2016 was cut to 2,4% from 2,8%. Erratic power supply is repeatedly cited as a worry for ratings agencies, which set the price at which SA is able to borrow money.

Karpowership sales director Patrick O’Driscoll estimates that Eskom is spending about US30c/kWh by burning diesel in its open-cycle gas turbines.

These turbines have been running as long as 16 hours a day, instead of the envisaged three, because of the power shortages. They were built to operate only in case of emergency shortages, during peak demand hours in the morning and the evening.

Last year Eskom spent more than R10bn on diesel to run the gas turbines, way above its R2bn budget. It has needed to ask for an increase in tariffs to recover this cost.

This year’s budget is only R2,7bn and it is unlikely to last more than a few months. SA is facing more load-shedding as winter approaches, daylight hours get shorter and temperatures fall.

5

By burning heavy fuel oil in an environmentally clean way that meets World Bank standards, O’Driscoll says power ships could do it for less than US12c/kWh.

"I can save them at least $400m-$500m annually," O’Driscoll says, adding that he would do this by installing 2 000MW (by way of four 500MW power ships) to replace the power being generated by open-cycle gas turbines.

O’Driscoll says though the company is fast and is able to deploy "plug-and-play" 500MW power stations within 18 months, he recognises "there is a lot of groundwork to be done. We are fast but do we have to follow the laws ".

One of the concerns is that a power ship uses heavy fuel oil as an energy source, which is not designated as an approved fuel source in the country’s integrated resource plan.

O’Driscoll says SA’s energy mix policy may have to be adjusted for the power ship solution .

But Ompi Aphane, the department of energy deputy director-general responsible for policy, planning and renewable programmes, says the integrated resource plan makes allowance for diesel as a fuel source. Heavy fuel oil and diesel are both hydrocarbons and a policy fuss is unlikely.

The department has established work streams to evaluate urgent proposals to alleviate SA’s acute power shortage.

One of these is dedicated to power barges and to power ships. "The work is under way," Aphane says.

Power ship independent power producers may sound simple to implement, but Aphane warns they are likely to face the same problems which renewable energy projects have had with not being able to feed power into the grid because of old or obsolete technology at Eskom’s substations.

This had been "the biggest problem we have had with the renewables" programme: being able to connect the power generated by the independent power producers into Eskom’s old infrastructure.

Karpowership has a fleet of seven power ships which are all in use but it has a production line that is rapidly turning out new power ships. Karpowership supplies 25% of Lebanon’s power and 16% of Iraq’s requirements.

"We are producing [the ships] on spec," says O’Driscoll. "We believe there is enough demand for power and are building them at a rate of one vessel every 150 to 180 days."

Last month, he says, the group reached financial closure with the government of Ghana to supply 450MW before the end of the year. This will be the equivalent of 20% of the country’s generation capacity.

Ghana’s power crisis is far more crushing than SA’s. The country is sometimes without power for 24 hours or longer.

Karpowership is proposing mooring or berthing as many as four power ships off SA’s coast. Four ports have been identified as being potentially suitable: Coega, Port Elizabeth, Saldanha Bay and Richards Bay.

Harezi says power ships, which are likely to be 300m-long converted capesize bulkers, are a quick and much cheaper solution than Eskom’s expensive use of its open-cycle gas turbines.

Hi Muller

Thanks for the invite to meet last Friday, sorry I had to leave for another meeting.

I would like to express some concern as well regarding the current EIA process, I know this is strategic for thecountry and need to be fast tract. My concern is that you are running an EIA without any detailed information aboutthe project.

As an Interested and Affected party in the process I cannot make any meaningful comments about the project, dueto a lack of information.

I have also a serious concern about the already listed specialist studies that was mentioned on Friday, the terms ofreference of these studies could be totally not applicable depending the proposed infrastructure for Big Bay. Thepublic and concerned people should have input the terms of reference for such studies.

Our concerns about Big Bay are:

Placement or positioning of infrastructure in Big Bay – this should be a process on its own, like we had with the LPGEIA process. This proposed project is much bigger than the LPG project.

Process effluent impacts on marine system, increase in temperature, anti foaling agents and heavy metal pollution,etcProcess Emission Impacts on receiving communityImpact of infrastructure on current movement and erosion enhancements in southern part of Lagoon, effect ofdredging and construction of civil infrastructure on meio macro fauna and lagoon in general.Impact of final project on mari culture industrySafety Risk of increased shipping in the Bay and the current capacity to deal with associated risks like oil spills, etc.

Please try and establish another technical meeting regarding the marine specialist studies and most probable theothers as well with target groups to understand the concerns of the public that should be addressed in thesespecialist studies, but also only after the technical detail about pipelines and hard infrastructure had beenconfirmed and communicated with us.

Also we would like to have some sort of indication of what monitoring is suggested in terms of the proposedimpacts.

Regards,

Christo van Wyk

a) timing for vessel to be in operation; b) any restriction on size of vessel from a marine perspective or, is it a case of 'the bigger, the better'

There is a possibility of chartering such a vessel on a long-term basis but they are normally constructed 'on order' which could take 3-5 years subject to builders order book.

Hi Muller,A point to note these power ships burn heavy fuel oil which is high in sulphur and produces suphur dioxide in itsemissions. Unless the powership is equiped with systems to remove this gas it will cause pollution for Saldanha.

Hi Muller

Thanks for the invite to meet last Friday, sorry I had to leave for another meeting.

I would like to express some concern as well regarding the current EIA process, I know this is strategic for thecountry and need to be fast tract. My concern is that you are running an EIA without any detailed information aboutthe project.

As an Interested and Affected party in the process I cannot make any meaningful comments about the project, dueto a lack of information.

I have also a serious concern about the already listed specialist studies that was mentioned on Friday, the terms ofreference of these studies could be totally not applicable depending the proposed infrastructure for Big Bay. Thepublic and concerned people should have input the terms of reference for such studies.

Our concerns about Big Bay are:

Placement or positioning of infrastructure in Big Bay – this should be a process on its own, like we had with the LPGEIA process. This proposed project is much bigger than the LPG project.

Process effluent impacts on marine system, increase in temperature, anti foaling agents and heavy metal pollution,etcProcess Emission Impacts on receiving community

2

Impact of infrastructure on current movement and erosion enhancements in southern part of Lagoon, effect ofdredging and construction of civil infrastructure on meio macro fauna and lagoon in general.Impact of final project on mari culture industrySafety Risk of increased shipping in the Bay and the current capacity to deal with associated risks like oil spills, etc.

Please try and establish another technical meeting regarding the marine specialist studies and most probable theothers as well with target groups to understand the concerns of the public that should be addressed in thesespecialist studies, but also only after the technical detail about pipelines and hard infrastructure had beenconfirmed and communicated with us.

Also we would like to have some sort of indication of what monitoring is suggested in terms of the proposedimpacts.

Regards,

Christo van Wyk

Hi Mike,

Thanks for sharing these concerns. It is critical for the EIA process to have the neccesary integrity in order to be meaningful. Your observations about "decision already made" and " EIA just completing the technicalities" therefore requires urgent attention. I will pass on to the other members of the EIA team for discussion and response. Best Regards

Dear All

I did a little research on the internet and came up with the following articles.

So while the Dept of Energy claims it’s their idea it seems that the approach regarding Powerships was made to Eskom some time back.

It is interesting to note that the ship in ERM brochure is the same as the one below but with a name change.

One can only speculate why the true story was not related.

I somehow doubt if the land-based power station will ever happen.

One thing for certain is that the project has already got government approval and the EIA is just completing the technicalities

I think the ERM presentation is an insult to our intelligence and should be repeated with the true facts.

For ERM's info ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Graeme Clemitson <[email protected]>Date: Wed, Nov 11, 2015 at 9:26 AM Subject: Re: Langebaan Online -- PDF attached To: Gareth Richards <[email protected]>

It's a pity that the Bluewater Bay residents Boss implies that ERM are spreading anything but the 'true facts'................ ERM admitted they were shy on understanding of the LNG industry and promised to include (in their scoping report):

- a laymans explanation of both LNG versus LPG products (the latter is not part of their current LNG brief); - examples of best practice from international ports handling such products daily; - possible risks involved in handling of LNG imports in the port i..e. in floating facility phase (short term) and in Big Bay terminal phase (long term), and the processes in respect of such risk.

As LNG is new to S.A. ports, a fuller understanding of the subject is necessary. The DOE/Transnet through their environmental consultants ERM, should be encouraged to do so..........it was good to hear ERM's Muller Coetzee acknowledge these concerns.

Mutters over power ship planCivil society activists worry that the government's rush to bring power-generating ships to South African harbours and to build a liquefied natural gas power station in Saldanha is placing locals and the environment at risk.

Bluewater Bay ratepayer boss Mike Rothenberg reacted strongly to a briefing by the environmental consultants, saying: "One thing for certain is that the project has already got government approval and the EIA is just completing the technicalities."

He and others said the consultants, ERM, had insufficient detail to allow affected and interested parties to assess potential risks. "I think the ERM presentation is an insult to our intelligence and should be repeated with the true facts," Rothenberg said in a widely circulated email.

Saldanha Bay Water Quality Trust chairman Christo van Wyk joined the fray by telling ERM: "My concern is that you are running an EIA without any detailed information about the project. I have also a serious concern about the already listed specialiststudies that were mentioned on Friday: their terms of reference could be totally not applicable depending on the proposed infrastructure for Big Bay. The public and concerned people should have input on the terms of reference for such studies."

He said concerns included the effects of process effluent on the marine system; an increase in temperature, anti-fowling agentsand heavy metal pollution; emission effects on people; effects of structures on water currents and increased erosion in the southern part of Lagoon; the effect of dredging and construction on marine fauna and the lagoon in general; effects on the mari-culture industry; and the safety risk from increased shipping in the bay and capacity to deal with associated risks like oil spills.

Langebaan resident John Selby said: "These power ships burn heavy fuel oil, which is high in sulphur and produces sulphur dioxide. Unless the power ship is equipped with systems to remove this gas it will cause pollution for Saldanha."

Langebaan civic activist Jaco Kotze said the period allowed for public comment was badly timed.

Replying to Rothenburg, ERM technical director Muller Coetzee said: "Thanks for sharing these concerns. It is critical for the EIA process to have the necessary integrity in order to be meaningful. Your observations about 'decisionalready made' and 'EIA just completing the technicalities' therefore require urgent attention. I will pass on to the other members of the EIA team for discussion and response."

Tank farms to get make-overThe Strategic Fuel Fund (SFF) plans to refurbish its crude oil storage tanks in Langebaan and Milnerton.

This is revealed in the recently published annual report of the SFF's parent, the troubled Central Energy Fund, in which it declareda R14.8bn loss.

It says that while the drop in the oil price had "catastrophic" consequences for most other CEF entities, it created increased demand for storage, to the SFF's benefit. "It was for this reason that the company’s turnover increased to R198 million (R92 million in 2013/14), the report says.

"Tank refurbishment at Milnerton and Saldanha will enable SFF to increase storage of crude oil in line with government policy. Excess capacity will continue to be rented to international oil traders thus enabling SFF to generate income."

The SFF's CEO, described as "Amb" (ambassador?) B Gila, says the Langebaan tank farm can store about 45 million barrels. About 10 million barrels is the country's emergency supply, which would last about three weeks.

"The Milnerton tank farm has the capacity to store 7.7 million barrels of crude oil which is currently not utilised. A plan has been developed to make this tank farm commercially viable," Gila says. "All operational activities related to crude oil storage at Ogies have ceased except the activity of pumping water from the empty containers to prevent pollution of the natural water table.

"SFF’s results are disappointing taking into account the high demand for storage that is visible in the 115% increase in revenue to R198 million during the year under review. A net profit of R3m (2014: R21 million) was achieved during the year.

"An operating loss of R88 million was achieved as operating expenses increased with (sic) 77% to R298 million from R168 million during the previous year.

"The business is subsidised with interest received (R91 million) in order to break even. The interest comes off a cash balance of R1.9 billion. A concern, however, is that with spiralling costs and the need to spend capital investment on maintenance and infrastructure, the cash on hand will be depleted over time."

The director's report says SFF has secured rental agreements at favourable rates for much of the available space in the Langebaan tanks.

A company owned by Grindrod, the Royal Bafokeng and a German oil storage company is planning to build 12 storage tanks with a capacity of 13 million barrels to the east of the SFF's Langebaan tanks.

Where your money will goOnly three of the nine ward committee portfolio members pitched up for a meeting last week to advise on how municipal money should be spent next year.

They were the portfolio holders for youth (Charlton Nieuwoudt), business and ratepayers (Jaco Kotze) and welfare (Wilna Thys).

Only Kotze and Nieuwoudt made suggestions for the prioritisation of the top 14 or so items among 64 on the overall wish list.

3

Kotze said his suggestions, from the ratepayer association, fell under the categories of renewal, maintenance or compliance.

The renewal items are the design for redevelopment of Bree Street and implementation of the redesign already done for the Alabama Street precinct.

Under maintenance are the resurfacing of Babiana, Tern and Harpuisbos Streets in Myburgh Park and of Strand and Ascot streets in Longacres.

Compliance items were a wood chipper and rubble crusher for the waste disposal site; provision of parking and public toilets atthe lagoon end of Sleigh Street, upgrading of the Strandloper entrance and access to the beach; public toilets at a public parking area adjacent to Paradise Beach to which access is being provided by a temporary servitude from the road to Spreeuwalle; building of a retention dam for stormwater; and, maintenance of beach revetments.

Among items suggested by Nieuwoudt were low-cost and gap housing; indoor and outdoor sport facilities, a community play park for Langebaan North; a permanent law enforcement presence; free broadband Wi-Fi and a youth development programme.

Lawyers' letter gets poo-pooedThe municipality has had lawyers write to civic activist Jaco Kotze threatening him with prosecution if he enters the wastewatertreatment plant.

This follows an incident in August when Kotze went to the site with police to look into a complaint that the plant was discharging sludge into the veld.

Law firm Swemmer and Levine told Kotze that its instructions were that on a Saturday in August he had "forcefully" (we think they mean forcibly, though they later say the gate wasn't locked – Ed) entered the wastewater works premises, despite a municipal employee having told him it was not allowed.

"Our instructions are further that you then laid a complaint with the Western Cape Environmental Affairs Department to the effectthat the municipality was conducting or had conducted an illegal act of polluting or causing pollution and degradation of the environment by the disposing of sludge/sewerage emanating from the waste water works in an irresponsible manner. This resulted in a directive under the National Environmental Management Act being issued to the municipality by the said department shortly thereafter.

"It subsequently transpired that the said directive was incorrectly issued in a very hasty manner and without giving the municipality an opportunity to give any input or explanation and without having taken into consideration the true facts and circumstances.

"Without going into detail, in short, there is and never was any danger of any significant irreversible pollution or degradation of the environment. The municipality acted reasonably during a desludging of contact channels operation and when an emergency situation arose, during the process,(sic) which was caused by extraordinary increase (sic) in volumes of influent during the long weekend after the Thursday on which the operation commenced.

"The directive has subsequently been withdrawn by the department."

Kotze said yesterday that claims in the letter were largely fabricated and did not come close to resembling an accurate account of what had happened.

"I fail to understand how the municipality can waste ratepayers' money to try to intimidate somebody who actually represents ratepayers and who tries to act in their interests.

"I would dearly love for this matter to be taken under cross-examination in court because that is the only time one gets the truth or any reaction from the council or the municipal manager."

He said the lawyers' letter had persuaded him that all transgressions by the municipality should be treated with "zero tolerance"and result in criminal complaints.
