1 The use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in Electrification S lindi Mhlongo, GIS Advisor, Eskom, South Africa

2 About this Presentation Introduction About Eskom Who is GIS What is GIS GIS in Electrification Planning Use of Spatial datasets Data analysis Way forward

3 About Eskom Strategic Intent Eskom will be the pre-eminent African energy and related services business of global stature. Vision Together building the power base for sustainable growth and development. Mission Eskom will grow shareholder value by exceeding the needs of local and foreign customers for energy and related services. Core Business: Electricity Distribution, Transmission &Generation

4 Key Facts about Eskom Is one of the top 13 utilities in the world by generation capacity Generates +/- 95% of electricity used in SA Generates +/- 45% of electricity used in Africa Total assets: R million Cash flows from operating activities: R7 655 million Capital expenditure: R million Number of employees: Training cost: R784 million Electricity customers: Electricity sales: GWh Nominal capacity: MW Net maximum capacity: MW Power lines: km (all voltages)

5 Who is ESI-GIS Electricity Supply Industry Geographic Information Systems (ESI-GIS) team was subsequently formed during 2002 to develop, manage and supply spatial information solutions within the local and African Electricity Industry (ESI) Part of Eskom Corporate Services Some Services offered; Spatial Data Management & Dissemination Spatial data analysis and Scenario Modelling Data sourcing & Spatial Dataset Development Developing Standards for Spatial Data and Consulting & Advisory services

6 What is GIS Geographic Information System is an integration of Software, data, personnel & processes that combines layers of information about some portion of the earth. It provides for easy interpretation of database information by presenting data visually.

7 GIS in Electrification Planning Commitment made by the SA government to reach universal access to electricity by 2012 Calculate the electrification backlog Identify the Electrification backlog areas spatially Fast track the Electrification Process

8 GIS in electrification Planning Where could GIS assist? Determining & managing the vast number of new connection Provide Eskom with a view where load growth and expansion needs to take place Determining the impact of these connections on each other, the existing network, load growth and supply capacity To optimise CAPEX expansion for new Network and assist towards developing of the Network Development Plan
