The National Energy Regulator of South Africa has granted freight logistics group Transnet a 7.69% increase in its allowable revenue to R5.68-billion for 2019/20, which translates into a 10.95% increase in pipeline tariffs.

Should Energy Minister Jeff Radebe decide to use the pipeline tariff as a proxy for the cost of transporting fuel to Gauteng, the increase will have a 4.5 c/ℓ impact on the petroleum transport charge for the Durban to Alrode destination, the regulator said in a statement.

The tariff increase is lower than what Transnet applied for. The group had requested an increase of 37.03% in allowable revenue to R7.2-billion for the 2019/20 tariff period. This would have translated into a 41.17% increase in the pipelines tariff, which would have resulted in an increase of about 16.96 c/ℓ in the transport charge for the Durban to Alrode destination.
