electricity is consumed or not.
Demand Charge Seasonally differentiated charge based on the highest demand

registered during a billing month for all time periods, or only those
specified, measured in kVA.
Deposit A once-off, refundable interest free payment provided by a customer

to CoE as a security for the due payment of electricity accounts. The

Un-metered street lights will be deemed to operate for 11 hours per night, 365 nights per
annum, at its actual size in kilowatts plus 10% of this size to compensate for control gear
losses, i.e. each 125 Watt mercury vapour lamp will be treated as a 150 Watt lamp, or
0, 15 kilowatt. Calculation: Street light consumption per month = number of street lights
x (the actual kilowatt of one street light x 1, 1) x 11 hours per day x 365/12 days x summer
/ winter month rate detailed above.
Note 2: Un-metered traffic lights

Un-metered traffic lights will be deemed to operate for 24 hours a day, 365 days per
annum, at its actual size in kilowatts. In the absence of detailed figures for a traffic light,
the size will be assumed as 2.433 kilowatt-hours per day. Calculation: Traffic light
consumption per month = 2.433kWh a day x 365/12 days x summer / winter month rate
detailed above.
TARIFF G WHEELING
TARIFF APPLICABLE FOR THE RECONCILIATION OF ACCOUNTS FOR COE
CUSTOMERS RECEIVING ENERGY FROM NON-ESKOM GENERATORS: -
Tariff G is a reconciliation electricity tariff for the CoE Tariff D or Tariff J customers
connected at >=6.6 kV with a Network Access Charge value (NAC) of ≥ 1 MVA that have
entered into a wheeling transaction with a generator connected to Eskom
transmission/distribution network or connected the City’s distribution network. It also
covers Wheeling from generators connected to the City’s grid and wish to wheel energy
to customers outside the City’s licenced distribution area.
Qualifying Criteria: Only consumers on the City Tariff D and Tariff J, connected at ≥ 6.6
kV with a notified maximum demand (NMD) of ≥ 1MVA that have entered into a wheeling
transaction with a generator or energy trader will qualify for wheeling.
For Tariff D consumer, the following shall apply:

Where a Tariff D consumer with an existing wheeling agreement commence with a
network access charge (NAC) value ≥ 1MVA, and thereafter consumes less than 1 MVA,
the schedule of tariff rules for Tariff D shall apply i.e. the NAC value will continue to be
levied at a minimum of 1 MVA and the consumer shall remain on Tariff D for 12 months.
Thereafter the customer will be moved to tariff E. In order to continue to qualify for
wheeling the NAC value will continue to be levied at a minimum of 1 MVA.
For Tariff J consumer, the following shall apply:

Where a consumer with an existing wheeling agreement commence with a network
access charge (NAC) value ≥ 1MVA, and thereafter consumes less than 1 MVA, the NAC
value will continue to be levied at a minimum of 1 MVA and the consumer shall remain on
Tariff J in order to continue to qualify for wheeling.
Should the customer commence with a NAC value ≥ 1 MVA and then consume less until
the NAC drops below 1 MVA, the NAC value will remain levied at a minimum of 1 MVA in
order to continue to qualify for wheeling.
The provisions of the City Policy on Wheeling will guide the method of implementation.
The customer will first be charged the full usage on the customer’s current usage tariff
and then the credit charge in correlation to the measured wheeling credit shall be applied.
Net-Billing shall apply.
G.1 Fixed charge

Fixed Charge means the administration charge payable per customer account to recover
the CoE administration related costs such as automating the processing of manual
received Eskom meter readings into the AMR system and billing system, Eskom additional

to the City’s grid and wheel to City customer/s. It is also applicable to all generators
connected within the City’s licenced distribution area.
