NERSA Consultation Paper: Municipal tariff guideline, benchmarks and proposed timelines for the municipal tariff approval process for the 2012/13 financial year

The closing date for written comments for this consultation paper was 14 November 2011 followed by the public hearing on Friday 18 November 2011. The paper states on page 5 that:

• Nov/Dec 11 – NERSA approval – municipal guideline and benchmarks
• Nov/Dec 11 – Communicate indicative guideline increase to municipalities and put the draft decision on NERSA website

Following an attempt to establish why the decision had not been posted to the NERSA website as at 12 January 2012, the AMEU was advised that `........due to some unforeseen delays, the Energy Regulator will make its decision on the guideline at the end of January 2012.’
