34 Summary of impact from EE and RE on business as usual Year 3: Between.6% - 1.4% Year 5: Between 2.3%-5.3% Year 10: Between 4%-15% What does this impact mean to a municipality?

35 Poverty Cape Town Electricity component of budget 37% (total income) 21.6% (bulk purchases) 15.4% of the revenue generated stays in the City Broken up into 3.7% to cross subsidise City and 11.7% to run the electricity dept

36 Summary: Mitigation strategies to cope with revenue loss Decoupled tariff (energy and fixed charge) Time of use tariff if possible Central buyers office (NetFIT) Efficient munic business processes decrease expenditure; changing the businesses Growth Fixed charge for PV installations probably won t work
