The Energy Intensive Users Group (EIUG) has called for a reopening of the most recent electricity tariff determination, arguing that a R54-billion behind-closed-doors settlement between the regulator and Eskom has created fresh price-path uncertainty. This uncertainty was also being amplified by the fact that the liquidation schedule for several regulatory clearing account (RCA) allowances, also running into billions of rands, had not yet been finalised. These RCA approvals entitle Eskom to claw back revenue foregone in previous periods in future tariffs.
