Abstract:
The increasing demand for electricity, the rising price of energy from conventional sources and limited electricity supply are a global concern. The demand on electricity generation could be alleviated by diversifying the sources from which electricity is obtained to achieve the goals of long-term electricity supply. Diversification implies finding alternative sources of energy such as renewable energy for the production of electricity. The South African electricity system is under increased pressure to provide and maintain electricity supply to its users. Electricity production may be regarde

Thesis (MPhil)--Stellenbosch University, 2015.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The South African Government developed the REIPPPP to ensure the implementation of Green Economy and job creation policies, while mitigating the current power crises with the short lead times of RE technologies. Current South African literature is ambiguous when discussing the legitimacy of the REIPPPP and the overall understanding of the programme and its associated outcomes in terms of job creation, are therefore, vague. A need therefore exists to unpack the quantitative job creation submissions of the REIPPPP and to carry o

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to understand the factors impacting on South Africa’s Renewable Energy Independent Power Producers Procurement Programme (REIPPPP). At its inception in 2011, the programme received support from the government, the private sector, and renewable energy investors. The programme was considered a success for having secured agreements with independent power producers (IPP) and for having procured much-needed electricity. As the programme matured, some concerns were raised by different stakeholders and interested parties regarding the programme’s design and its capacity

Abstract:
This study broadly investigates South African energy policy with specific emphasis on the Renewable Energy Independent Power Producer Procurement Programme (REIPPPP). It investigates how the procurement programme links to rights-based climate justice principles. Climate justice principles have the potential to greatly impact the socio-economic development characteristics of the renewable energy sector. These principles incorporate the notions of participation and self-representation, equality, and the anti-commodification of nature, thus linking to the collective ownership aspect of renewable

Thesis (MDF)--Stellenbosch University, 2009.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The electricity crisis presently affecting Africa is forcing govenments in the region to increasingly consider independent power developers as a means to help mitigate the imbalance between the demand and the supply of electricity. However, the success of this initiative will depend entirely upon governments' ability to create an environment that is conducive to developing private electricity generation plants.

Abstract:
Subjective decision making can lead to results that are difficult to justify in cases where the outcome is unfavourable. This is the case in the wind energy industry where wind independent power producers (IPPs) assess new market entry opportunities. Decision analyses methods can assist decision makers when faced with difficult choices such as which market to enter. Multi Criteria Decision Analyses or MCDA is one of the most preferred of many different decision analyses methods. MCDA ranks a set of criteria in order of importance and then, based on the results, ranks alternatives. There are ma

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis critiques hegemonic theory – especially the impact of a hegemonic state on the ability of small states to develop an independent foreign policy. The research uses Lesotho as a case study of a subordinate state in relation to the Republic of South Africa (RSA) as a hegemonic state. It draws on the history of Lesotho’s quest for sovereignty and argues that this sovereignty is constantly eroded to the advantage of its hegemonic neighbour. This constrains Lesotho’s ability to develop an independent foreign policy.

Abstract:
The integration of dispatchable renewable energies like biomass, geothermal and reservoir hydro technologies into an electrical network present no greater challenge than the integration of conventional power technologies for which are well understood by Eskom engineers. However, renewable energies that are based on resources that fluctuate throughout the day and from season to season, like wind and solar, introduce a number of challenges that Eskom engineers have not dealt with before. It is current practice for Eskom‟s generation to follow the load in order to balance the demand and supply.

Abstract:
The cost of energy and national power utility Eskom, is currently under heated debate after the cost of electricity has more than doubled over the past three years, with another five annual increases of 8% approved by the National Energy Regulator of South Africa. The state owned utility has a monopoly on electricity production in South Africa having sole ownership over the transmission and distribution of electricity. Eskom produces 95% of South Africa’s electricity, predominantly from coal fired power stations, which is one of the leading causes why the country is one of the highest carbon d

The sustainability of the REIPPP programme was as yet unknown. Through this study control drivers critical for the sustainability of the REIPPP programme were identified and prioritised. As background sustainability was investigated on an international level and within the South African context. Control drivers are drivers that have a significant impact on the sustainability of the REIPPP programme and also have some level of controllability. These drivers were obtained and compiled based on appropriate literature. The Global Reporting Guideline (GRI) for sustainability was used as baseline fo

Abstract:
In this study I investigate the narratives of near-death experiences in the Nazarite Church as one way in which this community grapples with the question of death and the after-life. However, I am particularly interested in the manner in which Nazarite members deploy these experiences to define individual and collective identities. I argue that in the Nazarite Church the significance of near-death experiences is neither rooted in the future nor in the past, but it is something of the here and now.

Bullying is widely recognised as being unacceptable and is addressed by many schools in the form of anti-bullying policies. However, on ongoing basis, girls are being socially excluded from relationships and because this behaviour is often so subtle, it is neither recognised as a form of bullying nor is it being addressed within schools.
