SOUTH AFRICAN POLICY OBJECTIVES
¨ Alleviating poverty & creating employment ¤ By increasing the economic growth rate
¨ Focusing on developing goods-producing industries ¤ Boost exports and reduce imports¤More labour-intensive and less skills-intensive. ¤ Best for reducing unemployment amongst less skilled
¨ Improving productivity to be globally competitive¤ Assist exports¤ Reduce imports through import replacement¤ Increase employment and reduce unemployment

CRITICAL COMPETITIVE ISSUESAs set out in the National Development Plan South Africa
needs to focus on three critical components¨ Effective and efficient infrastructure¤ Reliable source of base load electricity¤ Good transport system
¨ Efficient and skilled labour force¤ Education and skills training¤ Labour laws that allow the efficient and flexible use of
labour.¨ Focus on efficiency and reducing all input costs¤ Ensuring global competitiveness.

REASONS AND ECONOMIC IMPACTS OF HIGHER ELECTRICITY PRICES
The cause is the rapid change towards renewables which contributes towards a global reduction in carbon emissions
¨ SA is more reliant on coal for energy relative to othercountries, the tax has a far greater economic cost to SA
¨ Electricity supply is not flexible to alternative sources ofsupply & the additional cost causes significantly higher prices
¨ The increase required in the cost of electricity amount tomore than 30%+ over and above normal inflation by 2021.
¨ This will for South Africa:¤ Have inflationary consequences¤ Raises costs¤ Undermine SA’s global competitiveness

USA, including federally protected species like bald eagles
and golden eagles
• The Pennsylvania Game Commission estimates that more
than 10,000 bats are killed in the state each year by wind

GROWING GOVERNMENT AND CITIZEN CONCERNS AND QUESTIONS
¨ Global warming is not necessarily taking place¤ Observable contradictions between actual climate trends and predictions based
upon IPCC models¤ Questions regarding costs and benefits of environmental issues
¨ Many countries are questioning policies and slowing implementation¤ Countries questioning policies include Poland, together with southern and
eastern European allies. U.K. Australia and USA. ¨ Citizens are disgruntled and questioning government’s policies because of
¤ Costs and uncertain benefits in an age of austerity ¤ Consider money being squandered on “renewable energy” fiascos premised
upon climate alarmism along with empty promises of environmental, employment, and energy security benefits.
¤ Geen energy subsidies, domestic fossil development impediments, and runaway EPA regulatory policies drive up fuel and electricity costs, food prices, federal debt, and monetary inflation.

SUMMARY¨ SA contributes only 1.1% of global emissions. SA’s contribution to reduction
of global emissions is extremely small.
¨ Countries implementing measures are at a different stage of economicdevelopment & less carbon intensive than SA.
¨ The more carbon-intensive a country, the greater the economic cost ofreducing carbon emissions.
¨ The number of countries reconsidering their obligations because of highcosts is increasing.
¨ Higher costs in SA will place country at considerable competitivedisadvantage relative to its competitors.
¨ Higher costs will slow economic growth, increase unemployment, increaseuncertainty & reduce investment.
¨ Impact of not increasing energy growth from resources offering competitiveadvantage will be felt primarily by the poor.
