Outa commends rejection of ‘secrect’ application

The Organisation Undoing Tax Abuse (Outa) has welcomed the National Energy Regulator of South Africa’s (Nersa’s) decision to overrule State-owned Eskom’s application to omit some of its operating costs during its next multiyear price determination (MYPD) tariff application.

Eskom had sought to keep certain cost information secret, largely because it said it was unable to provide such detailed information.

Outa last month objected to Eskom’s application and provided a detailed written and verbal submission to Nersa.

“We’re pleased that Nersa has instructed Eskom to provide the information,” Outa energy portfolio director Ted Blom said.

The detailed information related to extensive operating costs and must now be submitted to Nersa by August 27, as part of Eskom’s tariff application for 2018/19.

Nersa allowed Eskom exemptions from providing two categories of information – a temporary exemption on the valuation of the regulatory asset base, but this has to be provided for in the next tariff application; and an exemption on the deferred debits and credits, as this related to an aspect that was not part of the tariff application.
