Eskom Tariffs and Charges
Introduction
9 1923-2018
Foreword

Approved average tariff increases for 2018/19

On 15 December 2017, the National Energy Regulator of South Africa (Nersa) determined Eskom's allowable
revenue for standard tariff customers of R 176 410m for the 2018/19 period. This revenue results in an annual
average price increase of 5.23% from 1 April 2018 to Eskom's direct customers and a 7.32% increase from 1 July
2018 to municipalities.

The tariff increases for the 2018/19 financial year are as follows:

Average Standard tariffs 5.23%

Local Authority 1 July 2018 (Municipal) 7.32%

Eskom direct

Businessrate; Public Lighting; Homepower; Homelight 60A; Landrate; Landlight 5.23%

Megaflex; Miniflex; Nightsave Urban; WEPS; Megaflex Gen* 6.00%

Affordability subsidy charge* 15.41%

All other tariff charges 5.23%

Ruraflex; Nightsave Rural; Ruraflex Gen, DUoS and TUoS charges 5.23%

Homelight 20A
Block 1 5.10%
Block 2 5.23%

* Due to the affordability subsidy charge increase of 15.41%, the average increase for these tariffs will be 6%.
The actual impact may differ depending on the individual customer's load factor. The reason for the
affordability subsidy charge increase is to cover the cost of the lower increases for the Homelight 20A tariff
as determined by Nersa.

There are no tariff structural adjustments for 2018/19.

For tariff impact calculations and for more information on Eskom's schedule of standard prices, please refer to
the website: www.eskom.co.za\tariffs.

Please note that the documents/ rates on the internet as well as this communication, takes into account the VAT
increase.

Gen
An electricity tariff for Urbanp customers connected at medium voltage, high voltage and
Transmission voltages that consume energy (importers of energy from the Transmission and
Distribution System) and generate energy (exporters of energy to the Transmission and Distribution
System) at the same point of supply (or metering point). The following charges shall apply for the
consumption and generation of energy:

Ÿ seasonally and time-of-use differentiated c/kWh active energy charges including losses, based on the voltage of
supply and the Transmission zone for energy supplied at the POD;
Ÿ three time-of-use periods namely peak, standard and off-peak;
Ÿ the treatment of public holidays for the raising of the active energy charge and the network demand charge;
Ÿ a R/account/day service charge based on the monthly utilised capacity (MUC) and/ or maximum export capacity
of all points of supply/points of delivery linked to an account.
Ÿ a R/POD/point of supply/day administration charge based on monthly utilised capacity (MUC) and maximum
export capacity of each POD/point of supply linked to an account; .
Ÿ for Transmission connected supplies, the higher of the value of :
Ÿ the a R/kVA/month Transmission network charge (loads) payable each month based on the voltage of the
supply, the Transmission zone and the annual utilised capacity measured at the POD applicable during all
time periods or,
Ÿ the R/kW/month Transmission network charge (generators) payable each month for transmission-
connected generators based on the Transmission zone for generators and the maximum export capacity
applicable during all time periods for each premise;
Ÿ for Distribution connected supplies, the higher of the value of :
Ÿ the R/kW/month Distribution network capacity charge (generators) based on the voltage of the supply and
the maximum export capacity measured at the POD applicable during all time periods; less
Ÿ a distribution losses charge based on loss factors using the following formula: energy produced in peak,
standard and off-peak periods x WEPS rates excluding losses in each TOU period x (Distribution loss factor
x Transmission loss factor (for loads)-1) measured at each point of supply not beyond extinction);
or the sum of :
Ÿ a R/kVA/month Transmission network charge based on the voltage of the supply, the Transmission zone and
the annual utilised capacity measured at the POD applicable during all time periods; and
Ÿ the R/kVA/month Distribution network capacity charge (loads) based on the voltage of the supply and annual
utilised capacity measured at the POD applicable during all time periods; and
Ÿ a R/kVA/month Distribution network demand charge based on the voltage of the supply and the chargeable
demand at the POD applicable during peak and standard periods;
Ÿ for Transmission connected generators a losses charge based on loss factors at each point of supply is applied
based on the following formula:
Ÿ energy produced in peak, standard and off-peak periods x WEPS rates excluding losses in each TOU period
x (Transmission loss factor (for generators)-1/Transmission loss factor (for generators)).
Ÿ a R/kVA urban low voltage subsidy charge based on the voltage of the supply and charged on the annual utilised
capacity measured at the POD applicable during all time periods;
Ÿ a c/kWh ancillary service charge applied on the total active energy supplied and produced in the month based on
the voltage of the supply applicable during all time periods;
Ÿ a c/kVArh reactive energy charge supplied in excess of 30% (0,96 power factor or less) of the kWh recorded
during the peak and standard periods. The excess reactive energy is determined per 30-minute integrating
period and accumulated for the month and will only be applicable during the high-demand season;
Ÿ a c/kWh electrification and rural subsidy (ERS) applied to the total active energy supplied in the month;
Ÿ a c/kWh affordability subsidy charge applied to the total active energy supplied in the month; and
Ÿ additional charges in the event of an NMD or MEC exceedance in accordance with the NMD and MEC rules.
Notes:
Ÿ A comparison is made on a monthly basis to determine the higher (in rand value) of the network charges as a consumer and as a generator
located at the same point of supply/ metering point and these rand values will be used for billing purposes.
Ÿ The network charges, loss charges, Distribution losses charge, ancillary service charges as well as administration charges and service charge
applicable for generators will depend on whether the generator is Transmission or Distribution connected.

Eskom Tariffs and Charges

1923-2018
Urban tariffs
continued. . .

PUBLIC LIGHTING
Non metered* electricity tariff for public lighting or similar supplies in Urbanp areas where Eskom
provides a supply for, and if applicable maintains, any street light or similar public lighting and where,
the charge for the supply and service is fixed based on the number of lights and light fixtures. This
tariff is applicable only in Eskom-designated Urbanp areas.

The suite of Public Lighting tariffs are categorised as follows:

All night (typically streetlights) 333.3 hours per month


24 hours (typically tariff lights) 730 hours per month
*For metered public lighting or similar supplies refer to Businessrate

This tariff has the following charges:


Ÿ the energy charge per light/supply is based on the number of hours for which the supply will be used in a day and
the time at which the electricity will be used.
Ÿ the energy charge is calculated using either a c/kWh energy rate or a R/100 W/month energy rate.
Ÿ if the c/kWh energy rate is used, kWh is calculated as kWh = number of lights x light wattage x hours in use (not
metered).
Ÿ a monthly maintenance charge per light or an actual cost charge where Eskom does the maintenance.

The urban fixed tariff is based on a consumption of 200 kWh/month at the All night rate. This is suitable for small
urban telephony installations (telephone booths, switchgear installations, etc) and not street lighting.

In order to provide a public lighting service in its licensed area of supply, Eskom will enter into a written Electricity
Supply Agreement for Public Lighting with a recognised representative body with legal powers, e.g. a local authority,
the traffic department, etc. which, in turn, normally provides a service to the general public. Eskom will not enter
into an electricity supply agreement with home dwellers for public lighting services. A separate maintenance
contract is required where Eskom does maintenance of the street light infrastructure.
Typical supplies are neon and billboard signs, traffic lights, street lights and lights in telephone booths.

Connection fees
Actual cost per streetlight connection or per high-mast connection.

Energy charge
For the non-metered Public Lighting tariff an energy charge based on the number of hours in a day for which the
supply will be used and the time at which the electricity will be used, is payable per month per light fitting. The energy
charge covers the supply of electricity, the maintenance and operation of Eskom’s networks and excludes the meter
and the meter costs.

Maintenance charge
A separate maintenance charge will be raised where Eskom contracts with a Local Authority to maintain the street
light infrastructure (the poles, light fitting etc.) The maintenance charge is raised either as actual costs or a fixed fee.
Eskom’s preferred approach is to raise actual costs. It is to be noted that the street light infrastructure is not an
Eskom asset. This charge is payable irrespective of the Eskom tariff applied to the Public Lighting supply.

Appendix F - Explanation of the excess network capacity charge


for the NMD rules
As set out in the NMD rules (as amended from time to time with the approval of Nersa) an exceedance of the NMD
will result in the excess network capacity charge* being raised for the Ruraflex, Nightsave Rural, Megaflex, Nightsave
Urban Small, Nightsave Urban Large, Megaflex Gen and Ruraflex Gen tariffs.

The NMD rules and a modelling tool to calculate the impact if the NMD is exceeded can be found at the Tariffs and
Charges website: www.eskom.co.za/tariffs.

The excess network capacity charge is calculated on event number. The number of times the NMD is exceeded,
multiplied by the portion of the demand exceeding the NMD multiplied by the sum of the Distribution network
capacity charge* and the Transmission network charge and if applicable the urban low voltage subsidy charge for the
respective tariffs.These rules shall also apply to all generator tariff components once the updated NMD rules which
incorporate the maximum export capacity have been approved by Nersa.

Ÿ Refer to the respective tariff(s) for the rates on which the excess network capacity charge is based.
In terms of the NMD rules, the following is taken into account when the NMD is exceeded
Ÿ Event number is the number counted every time the NMD is exceeded (whether within or above the
exceedance limit) based on a rolling 12 months (i.e. previous 11 months from current month) outside of the
allowable limit.
Ÿ Exceeded amount – is any demand (in kVA) recorded which is above the NMD.

*Note that any reference to “the network access charge” must be replaced with “the network capacity charge” and to “the
excess network access charge” must be replaced with “excess network capacity charge.”

Appendix H - Pricing of electricity


Eskom's average price for electricity is based on the overall cost of supply but, in order to determine tariffs, it is first
necessary to break down the overall costs into relevant cost categories. Costs are expressed in a manner that will
ultimately be applied to derive the tariffs according to an appropriate cost driver. By using the correct cost driver for
each cost component, the possibility of inappropriate pooling of costs is reduced.

Common cost drivers are:

Ÿ R/customer/month or R/customer/day - typically for customer service and administration costs


Ÿ R/kVA or R/kW - typically for network costs
Ÿ c/kWh - typically for energy costs
Ÿ c/kvarh - reactive energy costs
Ÿ Energy loss factors for energy loss costs

The cost of providing electricity to customers varies according to:

Ÿ The quantity of electricity used and the period (time or season) when the electricity is used
Ÿ The size/capacity of the supply required
Ÿ The geographic location of the customer
Ÿ The voltage at which supply is provided
Ÿ The cost of connecting a supply
Ÿ The density of the points of delivery where the customers supply is located.

A totally cost representative tariff will reflect the cost drivers and the factors that could influence
cost by taking into account the following:

Ÿ The time of use and seasonal variance of energy costs


Ÿ Unbundled costs for distribution and transmission networks. These costs are differentiated according to:
Ÿ the supply voltage
Ÿ the density of the points of delivery
Ÿ Retail charges that reflect the size of the customer and the service provided
Ÿ A connection charge that reflects the location of the supply and the impact on upstream costs

However, the tariff applied depends on meter capability, billing functionality and logistics, as well as limitations on
tariff complexity and the impact of changes to existing tariffs. For more energy-intensive users of electricity, tariff
structures tend to be more complex, whereas for users such as domestic customers tariffs are simpler. A larger
customer will have a much lower supply cost than a smaller customer. In Eskom, larger customers generally
subsidise smaller customers. The reasons for the higher cost for small customers are as follows:

Ÿ As a ratio of overall consumption, smaller customers tend to use much more electricity in the more expensive
peak periods and have a poorer load factor than larger customers.
Ÿ Significantly more network capacity is required at the lower voltage level (e.g. 500 V) to supply a smaller
customer than is required to supply a larger customer (e.g. 132 kV). This means that more electrical networks
have to be built, maintained and operated to supply smaller customers. Also, more electrical losses occur in the
latter sector.

For Eskom, the overall price of electricity is regulated and is based on approved costs plus a return on investment as
determined by the National Electricity Regulator of South Africa. While Eskom's average price (total revenue/total
consumption) is based on cost, individual price levels per customer or per customer class might not be cost
representative. This is due to cost averaging, historical cross-subsidies and social factors such as the customer's
ability to pay the determined price.

Appendix I - Billing
Estimated readings

Conventional meters are read at least once every three months. Estimated charges are raised in months during
which no meter readings are taken and these are subsequently adjusted when actual consumption is measured.

Deposits

A security deposit covering three months' consumption is required.

Pro-rating of bills

Pro-rating takes place under the following circumstances:

Ÿ at times of price increase and seasonal charges


Ÿ where a billing period spans the price change period
Ÿ where readings for demand or energy are not measured

Pro–ration is done by taking into account the number of days in the billing period where the old rates are applicable
and the number of days in the billing period where the new rates are applicable.

Example: In a billing period of 31 days, with 15 days billed at the old rate and 16 days billed at the new rate,
consumption of 1000 kWh in total, consumption is pro-rated as follows:

1000 kWh x 15/30 x c/kWh (old rate)


1000 kWh x 16/30 x c/kWh (new rate)

The above gives an indication of pro-ration of consumption only. In other individual charges, pro-ration may slightly
differ; however, all are based on the number of days.
