Executive Summary The Rwanda Utilities Regulatory Authority (RURA), like all regulatory agencies, is required to continuously monitor and evaluate the operational performance (i.e. financial and technical) of the regulated utilities, towards achieving the overall energy policy goals of the Government of Rwanda (GoR). The objective of this document is therefore to develop the framework and define the parameters, which can be used by RURA to assess, monitor and evaluate the operational performance of the regulated power utilities. In developing the performance monitoring framework, the first task was to identify and define the Key Performance Areas (KPs), for which Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) need to be developed to monitor the utility company performance. Based on the Energy Policy goals, the following KPAs related to utility operations were identified: Achieve an efficient sector through higher Productive and Allocative efficiencies; Encourage investment, growth and financial sustainability of resources; Ensure sustainable use of resources; Ensure safe, reliable and security of supply; The KPIs have therefore been selected to cover the four afore-mentioned KPAs related to the following operational areas of the utility business: Financial; Commercial; Technical; Efficiency; Social Impact; For effective performance monitoring, the Indicators have been categorised into the following two groups: KPIs which can be ed: This refers to indicators which can be benchmarked based on best industry practice; KPIs which can be ed: This refers to KPIs which are difficult to benchmark during the initial period of implementation of the performance management programme. These indicators can however be tracked over a period of at least one years, after which RURA can set realistic benchmarks for performance monitoring. The complete list of KPIs covering the five operational areas of the utility business are summarised below. Financial KPIs.

This will allow for periodic performance meetings between the regulator and the licensees to review the initial targets, discuss the utility company s actual performance and fine-tune the benchmarks or KPIs, if necessary. The document also presents the definitions and the formula for calculating all the KPIs. Since effective performance monitoring depends on credible and reliable data, details of key information to be submitted by the utility companies for each segment of the electricity industry, are presented in the Appendix. 6

1. Introduction The Rwanda Utilities Regulatory Authority (RURA) in addition to reviewing and setting tariffs, is required to continuously monitor the operational performance and results of the regulated utilities. RURA is therefore required to assess, monitor and evaluate the performance of the utility companies towards achieving the overall energy policy goals of the Government of Rwanda (GoR). The purpose of this document is to develop the framework and define the parameters which can be used by RURA to assess, monitor and evaluate the operational performance of the regulated power utilities, towards achieving the overall energy sector policy goals. The energy policy goals as presented in the Final Draft Energy Policy (2014) are as follows: Increasing the supply of power generation in line with expected demand; Creating an enabling environment from increased private sector participation in energy supply and service provision; Encouraging and incentivizing more rational, efficient use of energy in public institutions, and amongst industrial and household end-users; Ensuring the sustainability of energy exploration, extraction, supply and consumption so as to prevent damage to the environment and habitats; Promoting safe, efficient and competitive production, procurement, transportation and distribution of energy; The above energy policy goals have been used to identify the following Key Performance Areas (KPAs), for which Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) would be developed to monitor and assess the performance of the regulated utility companies. Achieve an efficient sector through achieving higher Productive and Allocative Efficiencies; Encourage investment, growth and financial sustainability through private sector participation; Ensure sustainable use of resources; Ensure safe, reliable and security of supply and prevent damage to the environment; The KPIs have been selected to cover the four KPAs and going forward, the results of the performance assessment can feed into the tariff-setting review process, thus making RURA s tariff-setting process, performance or incentive-based. 7

2. Performance Management Process The Performance Management Process involves a chain of events which will allow for periodic performance meetings between the regulator and the licensees to review and fine-tune the initial targets and discuss the utility s actual performance. The outcome of such interactions will then feed into the performance management process to ensure that all the players have a very good understanding of what is involved. The proposed performance management process is depicted below in figure 2-1. Figure 2-1. Performance Management Process IDENTIFY KPAs AND DEFINE KPIs SET KPI BENCHMARKS REVIEW AND FINE- TUNE KPIs AND BENCHMARKS ANALYZE AND MEASURE UTILITY PERFORMANCE REVIEW ACTUAL PERFORMANCE AGAINST BENCHMARKS 8

3. Identification of Key Performance Indicators Even though the selection of the KPIs would be based on the four KPAs, the selection would also take cognizance of the following guiding principles and criteria: Data reliability; Impact of KPI on utility performance; Whether KPI is endogenous and can be controlled by the utility company; Whether Indicator is measurable; Whether Indicator is output-based; 3.1 Proposed Key Performance Indicators The selection of KPIs was based on intensive research on the subject, as well as international best practice in the electricity sector. The results of this exercise led to the categorisation of the KPIs into the following operational areas of the utility business: Financial; Commercial; Technical; Efficiency; Social Impact; For performance monitoring, the KPIs have been categorised into the following two groups: ing KPIs: Refer to indicators which can be benchmarked based on best industry practice; ing KPIs: Refer to KPIs which are difficult to benchmark during the initial period of implementation of the performance management programme. These indicators can however be tracked over a period of at least one year, after which RURA can then decide to set realistic benchmarks for performance monitoring. During the initial phase of implementation of the performance management programme, the Consultant would recommend that carefully selected KPIs are benchmarked for licensee performance monitoring. This approach would enable RURA to put more emphasis on results interpretation and learning so that going forward, the KPIs can be fine-tuned for setting of more robust benchmarks. 3.1.1 Financial Performance Indicators The proposed Financial KPIs for assessing and monitoring the performance of the licensees are shown below in Table 3-1. 9

Also gives an indication of how the sector is performing in meeting the GoR s goal of enhancing population access to electricity. 4 Also known as Earnings Before Interest and Taxes. It is a key indicator of how effective the company is at controlling costs associated with the normal business operations and therefore a measure of profitability. It however excludes capital (i.e. investment) used to generate the profit. 12

Social Impact s Indicator Monitoring Generation Transmission Distribution & Sales % of households electrified annually No. of applications for new connections 5 The load factor gives an indication of the load profile that the network company faces. It is a measure of how steady an electrical load is. Defined as the ratio of the average load over the peak load in a specified time period. 6 The reserve margin measures the adequacy of available generation capacity against the system peak capacity. A reserve margin which falls within an acceptable range means the system has adequate generation capacity to keep load-shedding and blackouts to within acceptable levels, without necessarily over-investing. 13

No. of applications approved No. of rejected applications Connectivity Rate 3.3 Rationale for ed KPIs The rationale for benchmarking the selected KPIs are presented in the table below. Table 3-11. Rationale for Financial KPI ing. Indicator Monitoring Rationale Return on RAB This indicator is used to ascertain whether the licensee has earned a reasonable return on its regulatory asset base. This is computed using EBIT or the operating profit. Current Ratio Gives an indication of a company s ability to meet its short-term financial obligations. Gearing Ratio Gives an indication of the financial structure of the company regarding the amount of debt in the capital structure of the firm Interest Service Coverage Ratio Debt Service Coverage Ratio Gives an indication whether the company has the capacity to pay its interest payments on its debt. It also measures the number of times a company would be able to make interest payments on its debts. It therefore gives an index of the financial strength of the company. Gives an indication of the company s capacity to meet its interest and principal payments. This KPI gives an indication of the cash producing ability of the company to cover its debt payment. A higher debt service cover ratio implies it is more likely for the company to obtain a loan Table 3-12. Rationale for Commercial KPI ing. Indicator Monitoring Rationale Accounts Receivable (Debtor) Days This KPI gives the number of days it takes the company to collect its receivables. It is therefore a good performance indicator for measuring the company s revenue collection effectiveness Bad Debts This KPI gives an indication of receivables which have been written off. The indicator is therefore crucial in the company s management of outstanding accounts. It therefore measures the commercial effectiveness of the utility company 14

Operating Cost/Sales Revenue Collection Rate This is an important indicator because it measures the overall operating efficiency of the company. For the network sector (i.e. transmission and distribution), this ratio is influenced by the network characteristics, population density etc. and therefore this benchmark may have to be fine-tuned after the initial year of operationalizing the performance management system This indicator gives the percentage of billed electricity sales which is collected as revenue. It is therefore a measure of the firm s revenue collection effectiveness. Table 3-13. Rationale for Technical KPI ing. Indicator Monitoring Rationale Plant Availability This indicator measures the amount of time the plant is able to produce electricity within a certain period, relative to the total amount of time in that period. Plant availability therefore gives an indication of the effectiveness of the operations and maintenance of the power plants. Network Availability This KPI gives the available number of hours of the network, measured against the total number of hours in a given period. This indicator can therefore be used to incentivise network operators to maintain high network availability and reliability and ensure minimum level of unsupplied energy. Capacity Factor The KPI gives indication of the actual electricity produced by a power plant, relative to the maximum it could produce at continuous full power operations during the same period. It thus measures the actual plant output relative to its potential output. Transmission Technical Losses Total Distribution System Losses (Technical + Non-Technical) Transmission technical loss level gives an indication of the network operations management of line losses and efficiency. Even though line losses are caused by the physical properties of the transmission system, they can nevertheless be controlled through good operational and maintenance practices, as well as good network design The total distribution system loss indicator measures the total amount of loss comprising technical losses through to illegal connections or theft, metering deficiencies and billing errors. 15

5. Information Reporting Requirements In order to effectively monitor the licensees operational performance, RURA needs to develop the necessary information requirements, which must be supplied by the utility companies on quarterly basis, and in a specified format. This will make it possible for RURA to properly assess the financial and operating performance of the utility companies using the KPIs and reduce the degree of information asymmetry between the regulator and the regulated companies. The licensees are required to submit the data and other information in the prescribed format in both electronic form and in a hard copy report. The recommended data requirements are summarized below in Table 5-1, while details for each reporting item are annexed in Appendices A to J.
