AutoNDA by SimpleDocs
Tariff Reform. The Government understands that appropriate tariff levels are critical to ESCOM’s financial recovery and the growth of the power sector. MCC funding will support tariff, regulatory, and energy policy support toward this end. MCC Funding will support a cost of service analysis to determine appropriate tariff levels and schedules to achieve full cost recovery, more efficient utilization of electricity, and achievement of social objectives. Based on the results of this analysis, the Government agrees to a phased implementation of full-cost recovery tariffs and schedules according to a timeline to be determined by entry into force of the Compact. Without reducing current tariff levels, the phased implementation will ensure an incremental increase in the scope of tariff levels and schedules, that will begin with a tariff that permits recovery of operating costs, thereafter recovery of operating costs plus capital replacement charges, and by the end of the Compact Term recovery of capital replacement costs, capital replacement charges and capital expansion charges. This full-cost recovery tariff should include recovery of operating expenses, financing costs actually incurred by ESCOM, capital replacement charges and capital expansion charges so that tariffs reflect ESCOM’s long-run marginal costs. The Government will also seek to ensure adequate protection of poor and vulnerable groups through a lifeline tariff or other mechanism in a manner which is consistent with average total cost recovery and efficient utilization of electricity. The Government will adopt the policy, legal and regulatory changes necessary to implement tariff reform, including: (1) rationalizing the five percent inflation fluctuation trigger and the four-year interval for review of base tariffs and tariff adjustment formula, so that tariffs may be adjusted on a basis that supports the viability of licensees; and (2) improving the components and definitions for the tariff adjustment components (collectively, the “Tariff Indexation Framework”).
Tariff Reform. Progress on tariff reform will be phased and measured by: (1) Cost of service study; (2) Tariff levels and schedules; (3) Tariff Indexation Framework; and (4) Tariff design efficiency, including, a lifeline tariff.
