NERSA has called on stakeholders to submit written feedback on its draft Cost Recovery Rules (CRR) for South Africa’s first independent transmission projects (ITPs) with the October 27 deadline for public comment now rapidly approaching.
The draft CRR outlines how costs associated with building, owning and operating privately financed transmission infrastructure will be recovered. It sets the parameters for revenue collection, tariff determination and risk allocation.
Industry bodies, including SAPVIA and members of the Energy Council, have published input frameworks ahead of the consultation deadline. These highlight issues such as revenue certainty, cost pass-through mechanisms, risk allocation and regulatory clarity under the proposed framework.
Once finalised, the CRR will underpin the commercial and regulatory framework for the first ITP procurement round expected to launch before the end of November.
