Electricity Regulation Act, 2006 (Act No. 4 of 2006)RulesNet-Billing Rules5. Principles for Designing Export Tariff for Prosumers |
5.1 | The export tariff principles under these Rules are in accordance with the NERSA Distribution Tariff Code and further specify the tariff design for Prosumers with embedded generation facilities. |
5.2 | The Distributor must design an export tariff for all Prosumers, subject to approval by NERSA, that provides a credit for exported energy, not more than the consumption during each time-of-use period. |
5.3 | In designing the export tariff, the Distributor must: |
(i) | not discriminate or allocate disproportionate or unjustified burdens or cross-subsidies to prosumers; |
(ii) | not create additional disproportionate or unjustified burdens or cross-subsidies to the tariffs of customers that are not Prosumers; and |
(iii) | conduct a cost of supply study and provide NERSA with its cost of supply study as part of the submission for the Prosumer tariff. |
5.4 | A distributor that cannot implement time-of-use export tariff must provide a reason and a plan on how this can be resolved. |
