During the presentation on the strategic plan of the Department of Public Enterprises (DPE) which was held on 21 April 2010, the Committee was informed that in respect of energy and broadband enterprises, the DPE intended to ensure that Eskom, among other enterprises, achieved its target by the end of the Medium Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF) period by monitoring and annually assessing its financial and operational targets set in the shareholder compacts. The DPE would also monitor the delivery and funding of Eskom's build programme and take corrective action where necessary. One of the priorities identified for oversight purposes (as per the National Council of Provinces (NCOP) Strategic Framework Plan, dated 7 September 2009) was to focus on the development of economic infrastructure (e.g. roads, electricity and access to water). As a result, the Committee undertook to conduct an oversight visit to Koeberg Nuclear Power Station to ensure that its mandate is realised.
