6.2 Eskom retail tariffs restructuring proposals
Eskom‟s strategic pricing objectives are energy efficiency and economic sustainability, cost
reflectivity, fairness, equity and transparency. In line with these objectives Eskom proposes
to adjust its retail tariff structures for 2013/14, taking into account national imperatives,
customer requirements, business needs and best practice. The impact on the tariff is based
on these proposals being accepted.
The proposals aim to:
