2 November 2005Slide 24 REVISED RESTRUCTURING APPROACH Key concerns raised over original boundaries/approach: Fiscal and financial risks of transferring Eskom and Municipalities electricity businesses to the REDs Financial impact on municipalities and Eskom Credit rating impact Credit control implications Cost and liabilities implications of transferring Eskom and Municipalities staff to the REDs Impact on personnel benefits – Pensions, medical aid, etc. Salary harmonisation Definition of reticulation to eliminate possibility of constitutional challenge

2 November 2005Slide 25 REVISED RESTRUCTURING APPROACH Restructuring approach Create 6 Metro REDs after Local Government Elections Conduct modelling, within 6 months, to determine feasibility of creating a National RED, its viability and sustainability, organisational structure and governance arrangements Based on modelling results, make recommendations on the best model to achieve the objectives of restructuring and to optimise service delivery Introduction of restructuring legislation to provide the legislative framework for RED formation and to remove the risk of the currently open-ended process

2 November 2005Slide 26 REVISED RESTRUCTURING APPROACH National RED(s) Structure of National RED(s) subject to modelling exercise

2 November 2005Slide 27 REVISED RESTRUCTURING APPROACH Implementation principles Restructuring must be in accordance with the Constitution, taking into account that the responsibility of electricity reticulation is a municipal function Financial state of municipalities currently performing the electricity function must not be adversely affected Aggregate personnel costs must not increase in a way that undermines the objective of a single public service No additional funds or taxes (fiscus and/or local government) without the approval of Cabinet

2 November 2005Slide 28 REVISED RESTRUCTURING APPROACH Key Policy Assumptions National cross subsidy framework Constitutional powers of municipalities regarding “reticulation” Regulation of municipal surcharges Impact on Eskom Role of Eskom in National RED Contestable customers Transfer of assets Competition

2 November 2005Slide 29 REVISED RESTRUCTURING APPROACH Progress thus far: Ministerial Committee in place Minerals & Energy, Provincial & Local Government, Public Enterprises and Finance Inter-governmental Forum established DDG’s: Minerals & Energy, Provincial & Local Government, Public Enterprises and Finance Modelling technical team established Commencement meetings held Agreed on approach, process and timeline to modelling Participation of all stakeholders critical

CONCLUSION

2 November 2005Slide 31 CONCLUSION Way Forward Consolidate the gains made Complete modelling and agree final REDs boundaries Ensure the creation of an enabling legislative environment for the establishment of the REDs Establish financially viable and sustainable REDs within the set timelines
