key areas:

Required information for SSEG Tariff setting and

Revenue Impact parallel session

The below information is important in order to obtain useful outputs from the parallel session:

1. Municipal Electricity Tariffs: All tariffs paid by customers for electricity (c/kWh, R/kVA etc.)

Include SSEG tariffs (if the municipality has these)

2. D-forms, which include the following: Number of customers in each tariff category

Consumption in each tariff category:

Either:

Total volume of electricity supplied to each customer group per annum

OR

Electricity consumption per annum for a representative customer (average kWh/customer)

3. Bulk power purchase tariffs - these are the electricity prices that are paid to Eskom, e.g. Megaflex

If available, the following is useful (but not essential):

Technical losses - % of total electricity purchases from Eskom lost on the grid

Fixed cost of supply – if available (from Cost of Supply study – if you have one please bring it along)

Any info on which customer classes cross-subsidise others would be useful

Note: - if you bring the information under points 1 to 3 you will have the necessary for the session
