Tariff Design Criteria

Based on well-established & understood economic principles;

Ensure no discrimination or cross subsidy between customer groups;

Minimize complexity & associated costs including cost of metering and billing;

Tariffs should provide cost reflective price signals;

Enable protection of vulnerable customers

Basis of Tariff Calculation

Tariff Constructed as a Building Block

        

Demand Forecast Generation Availability Generation & Mining Costs Imports Transmission Costs (Unbundled from KEK) Distribution Costs Supply Costs Loss Costs Depreciation (for assets past 2005) ***

Subsidies + Exports + Costs of unregulated customers are subtracted from allowed costs 6

Tariff Methodology – Revenue Cap

Allowed revenues are built up from ‘building blocks’

www.ero-ks.org

KEK HQ allowed costs are allocated between other KEK businesses in proportion to their share of employee numbers;

An allowance for costs of losses purchases is added for KEK Distribution and KOSTT and for import purchases for KEK Supply

Regulatory accounting statements

A copy of the licensee’s most recent statutory accounts and accompanying auditor’s report and

An auditor’s regulatory report on the regulatory accounts

The specific regulatory accounts items required are: 1. Cover 2. 3. Income statement Balance sheet 4. 5. 6. Cash flow statement Analysis of turnover Analysis of operating and maintenance costs 7. 8. Regulatory asset base (RAB) Capital expenditure 9. Depreciation 10. Additions 11. Major projects summary 12. Provisions

Cost allocation procedure Step 1: Definition of Cost

Cost Categories (e.g. cost for labour, material)

Cost Centres (places where cost occur, e.g. 110 kV network)

Products / Services (e.g. transmission services)

Step 2: Allocation of costs

to cost categories

from cost categories to cost centres (intermediate cost centre for common services)

from cost centres to customer categories

Calculation of tariffs

The Revenue and Tariff Model calculates

    Regulated retail tariffs TUOS, SO and MO charge DUOS charges An internal transfer price from KEK Mining to KEK Generation and from KEK Generation to KEK Supply is calculated

www.ero-ks.org

Cost-reflective tariffs are calculated for each customer category, broken-down into

  customer (standing) charges energy charges   demand charges reactive power charges

Developments in Tariff Process

• Regulated Tariff review period is set for 3 years from 2007-2009 • The first regulated tariffs were approved by the board of ERO on 31.05.2007

• The second regulated tariffs were approved by the board of ERO on 27.06.2008

www.ero-ks.org

• The regulated tariff of 2008 is on average 5% higher than that of 2007.

• Tariffs were calculated intending the gradual elimination of cross-subsidies between different tariff groups during the tariff review period.

• ERO is currently in the process of analysis of Feed-In tariffs for small Hydro Power Plants and reviewing the tariffs of district heating for the season 2008 2009.

18

www.ero-ks.org

Future Activities

 The district heating tariff for the 2008-2009 season will be approved by the end of October 2008.

 The Electricity Tariff review for the 2009 season will begin in November 2008.

 The development of secondary legislation in the PTD, foreseen for 2009:   The development of the Tariff Methodology for Electricity produced from Renewable Resources The development of the Tariff Methodology for district heating
