At a Nersa conference – held on Wednesday and attended by City Press’ sister publication, Rapport – things came to a head when Nersa officials suggested that a tribunal be established to challenge Eskom for allegedly obstructing Nersa and its work.
In correspondence between Nersa and Eskom, the regulator makes it clear that its audit will focus on how Eskom manages its planned maintenance and unexpected breakdowns; on what it is doing about underperforming power stations; and on the construction work carried out at Eskom’s new Medupi and Kusile power stations.
When it comes to the embattled power utility’s application for a tariff increase for the next three years to 2022, the availability of Eskom’s power stations has become a thorny issue. But Nersa called the 78% availability rate unrealistic and amended it to 71.5% in the current financial year, 72.5% in 2020/21 and 73.5% in 2021/22.
And who’ll pay the R20 billion a day? Isn’t it us the consumer. NERSA e ska re nyela tuu!!
Wow more pressure to privatize Eskom I think time has come to fire the board and CEO after that president needs to reshuffle his cabinet. We need a new Public enterprise minister.
How so🤷
