Postponement of the Energy Regulator public hearings: Review of IBT and MYPD methodology

AMEU Members were advised via a circular of a notice issued by the Energy Regulator on 24 January 2012 in which it is advised that  `…..the public hearings on the review of the Inclining Block Tariffs (IBTs) and the Multi-Year Price Determination (MYPD) methodology which was (sic) scheduled to take place on 02 and 03 February 2012 at the NERSA offices in Pretoria has (sic) been postponed until the finalisation of the review of ‘The South African Electricity Supply Industry: Electricity Pricing Policy GN 1398 of 19 December 2008’ (EPP)’.

The notice states that ‘The hearings have been postponed because the MYPD is broadly informed by the Electricity Pricing Policy. It would therefore be premature to finalise the MYPD while the Electricity Pricing Policy is under review’ and that `Members of the public will be notified of the new dates for the public hearings through the NERSA website and newspaper publications’.
