Overview of <strong>Multi</strong>-<strong>Year</strong> <strong>Price</strong> <strong>Determination</strong><br />
2013/14–2017/18 (MYPD 3)<br />
<strong>Eskom</strong> supplies its own transmission and distribution infrastructure.<br />
Page 31 of 144<br />
The total capital expenditure excludes that related to municipal distribution<br />
infrastructure.<br />
No replacement capacity beyond 2030 is catered for and hence this impact is<br />
excluded from the financial implications in the latter years<br />
In the 65% scenario, IPP‟s build capacity of 9210MWs during the MYPD 3 period (as<br />
requested by DoE) and the total IPPs equate to approximately 35% of capacity not<br />
yet constructed. The remaining 65% capacity is built by <strong>Eskom</strong><br />
In the 100% scenario <strong>Eskom</strong> will build all capacity required by IRP 2010 beyond the<br />
9210MWs of renewable IPPs<br />
The difference between what <strong>Eskom</strong> builds beyond the MYPD 3 period in the 100%<br />
scenario when compared to the 65%scenario is only 2,700MWs. Hence the financial<br />
impact is insignificant and the results are similar for both scenarios. The key results<br />
are summarised below<br />
The price path assumed over MYPD3 period will allow <strong>Eskom</strong> to reach standalone<br />
investment grade status by 2017/18 and maintain it thereafter.<br />
The return on assets (ROA) considered is the lower of the 8.16% as determined by<br />
Nersa during the MYPD 2 and the ROA required to maintain investment grade.<br />
Sales growth will be 1.9% for the MYPD 3 period, after which it will increase to IRP<br />
2010 targets until 2030, after which it will return to 1.9% per year.<br />
Funding of the capacity expansion for the generation and network requirements is<br />
provided through debt and tariffs only.<br />
Debt capacity is assumed at R60bn per annum in 12/13 real terms.<br />
No equity injections are assumed throughout the period to 2030.<br />
IPP contracting periods are assumed to be between 15 to 20 year for renewable<br />
technologies and 40 years for coal technologies.<br />
No carbon taxes will be implemented over the period to 2030.
