Purchase cart Previous page Return to chapter overview Next page

 

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.
