Madam Deputy Speaker, in relation to question 239, as asked by the hon member B Tinto, the reply is that government has diversified the energy mix in respect of both supply and demand sides.
In regard to the demand-side option various energy efficiency interventions have been introduced, including the introduction of solar water heating in the residential and industrial sector, cogeneration from industrial processes in order to substitute the demand that would otherwise have been supplied by Eskom and introduction of energy efficiency lighting, which is the compact fluorescent lamps, CFLs.
The demand side is complemented by clean energy options on the supply-side programmes, including the introduction of renewable energy feed-in tariff programmes pursuant to the 10 000 gigawatt of wind, solar, biomass, small hydro and land field gas generation options; the development of the liquefied petroleum gas pilot programme for space heating and cooking in the residential sector; and the introduction of the integrated resource plan with a long-term objective of introducing nuclear energy, imported hydro and imported gas for power generation.
It is anticipated that the South African energy mix will be diversified from 97% coal domination to what the Integrated Resource Plan, IRP 2010, will specify. Thank you.
