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?
