The Integrated Resource Efficiency and Renewable Programme is built upon 5 key themes:

GOVERNANCE

SECURITY OF SUPPLY

SOCIO-ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY

BUDGET RATIONALISATION
GOVERNANCE

Programme will be implemented through the Innovation, Project Preparation and Delivery Office IPPDO, a highly skilled team

Programme governance is based on international best practice

The IPPDO will provide a centralised governance structure
Project Delivery is based on a bundled approach to procurement. This means that two or more
Department facilities will be identified and amalgamated into a single project, based on
bundling criteria determined by the Department, to create commercially feasible
projects that reduce technical risks and facilitate financing.
A project means commercially, technically and geographically viable bundle of Department
facilities and assets for which a Private Party will be procured to implement the design,
financing, installation, maintenance and/or operation, as a single management unit,
Elements (i.e. renewable energy, energy efficiency, water efficiency and waste management)
of the Programme.
SECURITY OF SUPPLY

Resource Efficiency
through lowering resource demand, improving resource efficiency, promoting alternative sources of water & energy governance

Water Security
through reduction in potable water demand

Energy Security
through improved building design and system specification, and standard and deep retrofits

Alternative Supply Sources
by generating energy from renewable sources
BUDGET RATIONALISATION
Budget Sustainability Elimination of current overdraft

Self Funding The Programme will be self funded
Savings and revenue worth over R401bn by 2050


Government savings can be reallocated to other government priorities
