Questions

Eskom wants tariff increases, but we have had 4xincreases already and we have less electricity;skills training; Medupi, Kusile, Ingula: when will

they be completed?

What abouthomeowner

IPPs?

Eskom's view is that its better tohave a higher tariff so that we don't

have load shedding!

Does the 67 cents per kWhinclude Medupi and Kusile?

The answer depends on a cost reflectivetariff for Eskom where people won't move

off the grid

Why is Eskom trainingpeople at Medupi?

China adds 1 GW of baseload perweek; why can't we do this?
