Nersa will hold public hearing on Eskom’s bid for secrecy, after Outa appeal
04 July 2017 - 10:09
The Organisation Undoing Tax Abuse (Outa) has successfully appealed to the National Energy Regulator of SA (Nersa) to hold a public hearing on Eskom’s application to keep certain of its operating statistics a secret. Outa suspects the reason Eskom wants to hide the operating statistics is that they include the actual amounts of "Gupta coal" Eskom consumes — and which costs it double the amount that it pays other suppliers. This coal comes from the controversially acquired Gupta company Optimum Coal. The public hearing will be held on Friday at the Nersa head office in Pretoria.
