Dear Affiliates and Members,
Attached is AgriSA’s draft submission on Eskom’s MYPD 6 Application to NERSA. We believe this document forms the foundation of our response to Eskom’s application, and we invite you to engage with its content and provide any input to further improve it.
While the document addresses the questions posed by NERSA, we urgently require data and input from affiliates on the specific impact of the proposed tariff hike on the agricultural sector. Your input will help strengthen our submission by providing tangible evidence of how increased electricity costs could hamper farmers across various commodities.
To guide you, we have included an example of data received from Grain SA. While this example will be formally incorporated later, it serves asa reference for the type of information we are requesting. Your submission does not need to follow this exact format and can be tailored as you see fit to reflect the realities faced by your members. The aim is to present a comprehensive, industry-wide view of the potential impact.
Please send your input directly to Kulani Siweya at (kulani@agrisa.org.za) by the close of business on Friday (25 October 2024) , as we are working within tight timelines and need sufficient time to review and finalize all submissions.
Thank you for your continued support in ensuring we present astrong, unified case.
