The National Energy Regulator of South Africa (NERSA) released its price determination today regarding the Multi-Year Price Determination three (MYPD3) application made by Eskom for the period 2013-2017. NERSA has indicated that the overall revenue pool attributable to Eskom will be allowed to rise by 8% per annum over the five year period versus the 16% increase applied for by Eskom in its MYPD3 application. Details regarding the structuring of the tariff that will be apportioned to industry and to other users will still need to be provided. There is likely to be differentiation between large industrial customers, which are likely to face a slightly higher tariff increase versus other consumers.
