GENERAL INFORMATION AND INSTRUCTIONS
Please Note the following:




All information relates to a ring-fenced electricity activity.
Financial information is to be stated in R’000 (For ex. R1 234 567,00 should be stated as 1 235).
RING-FENCED means that separate accounts are kept for the electricity activity. This should
ensure that the revenues; costs; assets; liabilities; reserves and provisions are separately
identifiable from those of any other business in the books of account of the local authority or other
licensee.
It is essential that all aspects of every statement are completed.

Revenue = internal and external revenue derived from the production of electricity. The total revenue received should
agree with the sales figures of Section 2 of FORM NER D2 where applicable.
Primary Energy Cost = Cost of Fuel and water used in the generation process. This includes the cost of electricity
purchased for pumping at pumped storage power stations. Fixed costs are those that are
largely independent of the stations output while variable costs vary with output.
Use of system cost = Cost charged to the power station by a transmitter or distributor for the use of their network for
energy transfer.
Operations = Cost of operating salaries and allowances as well as operating stores and materials.
Maintenance = Cost of repairs and maintenance; including salaries, wages, allowances and payments to contractors.
Administrative / General = Cost of power station supervision, administration and local overheads.
Financing Costs = Capital charges such as capital redemption, interest and contributions to capital outlay.
Definition of costs used for performance indicators: Working costs = b+c+e+f
Generation cost = a

Maximum capacity MW = the maximum (installed) sent out capacity that could be produced continuously with all
installed plant running. (Unipede def of maximum electrical capacity). This is the capacity
for which the power station should be licensed.
Unused capacity MW = capacity which are not operated for economic reasons and is excluded from the calculation of
the performance of the power station.
Net maximum capacity MW = Maximum capacity minus unused capacity.
Net maximum power produced = maximum energy sent out by the total power station in any one hour.
Energy sent out MWh = the electrical energy that was produced by the power station after the deduction of the
consumption of station auxiliary plant but includes the electricity used for own processes such
as pumped storage pumping or own use of co-generators.
Availability = the energy that the available capacity of the station could have produced during the period, to the energy
that the net maximum capacity could have produced during the same period. (Unipede def. of energy
availability factor)
Unit trips per year = the average number of times that the generator breakers opened unplanned in the year per
operating unit. (Unipede def. for “unplanned automatic grid separations per 7000 operating
hours”)
Generation load factor = ratio of electrical energy produced over period divided by the electrical energy it would have
produced at its net maximum capacity over the same period.
Efficiency = Electrical energy sent out by the power station divided by the primary energy used to produce the
electricity. For coal gas fired stations this corresponds to the thermal efficiency. For pumped
storage stations, this is the efficiency of the pumping/generating cycle.
