2. Programme 2: Energy Policy and Planning The Energy Policy and Planning programme (Programme 2) provides an integrated energy planning service to promote the sustainable use of energy resources through energy research and the development of appropriate policies and regulations that promote the efficient use of petroleum products, coal, gas, renewable energy and electricity sources. The programme received the second highest share (25 per cent) of the total budget. Its budget decreased from R 1 548.6 billion in 2010/11 to R 1 546.9 billion in 2011/12. There has been a downward shift in the programme budget. The programme budget has decreased by R1.7 million (0.1 percent) in nominal terms and -4.68 percent in real terms. It is important to note that this programme's budget increased by 2718.44 per cent in nominal terms or R1.4 billion (2 541.47 per cent) in real terms from 2009/10 to 2010/11. The significant increase in 2010/11 could be attributed to Departmental priority of promoting local petroleum refinery capacity and investment in the sector. PetroSA planned to build a 400 000 barrel per day refinery at Coega in the Eastern Cape. An additional R4.5 billion was allocated to Transnet pipelines with a spread of R1.5 billion per year over the MTEF period. These funds were earmarked for the construction of the national multipurpose petroleum pipelines to ensure the secure supply of petroleum product
