Registration Process :
** City Power engagement to apply for correct billing by CoJ
** City Power to be approached with request for registration
Resellers to provide the following information :
** Biographical info
** Number of tenants or dwellings serviced per account
** Tariff structures applicable to customers
** Service and network charges passed on to customers (if on conventional tariff structure)
** City Power to assist resellers to settle billing agreement with CoJ
** City Power to maintain and update register
** City Power to ensure that a bulk meter exists to measure the total consumption of resellers
Approved Tariff Structure
Clause 1.4.14:
** “If the Body Corporate of complexes, flats, cluster developments approach the City of Johannesburg with an affidavit declaring the number of units in use in the complex, normal consumption tariffs will apply, as per unit in the complex, rather than the tariff that would be deemed appropriate for the complex as an aggregate. The changes will be implemented from the date of application.”
Application (example) :
** If aggregate consumption of reseller amounts to 20 000 kWh per month, and
** Reseller sells on to 20 tenants/dwellings/customers/buildings, then
** Reseller is charged 20 x 1 000 kWh per month, rather than at >3 000 kWh per month scale
** NO provision currently made for resellers with commercial customers
Penalties
Bylaws Section 13 – partial relief :
** City Power will allow a window of opportunity for registration of resellers that are not currently billed
** The full penalty of 38 month backlog charge will not be implemented as stated in the bylaws
** The applicable back charge will only be to 1 July 2013
** The window in which this amendment will apply will be until 30 June 2014
** City Power will extend this announcement to the public media
Proposed Long Term solution :
** Tariff structure for FY2014/15 and beyond
** Allow the differential between prepaid and conventional tariffs to be reduced (especially at consumption of < 1 000 kWh per month)
** Base reseller purchase price on prepaid tariff structure
** Eliminate City Power vending cost from the prepaid tariff charged to resellers so that they may add their vending margins without penalising the ultimate consumers
** Promulgate separate tariff for resellers
Features of City Power Reseller’s Tariff
City Power is the electricity utility company responsible for the distribution of electricity in the city of Johannesburg, South Africa. The Reseller’s Tariff is a special tariff available to customers who purchase electricity in bulk from City Power and resell it to end-users. Here are some key features of the Reseller’s Tariff:
Pricing:
The Reseller’s Tariff is priced differently from the standard residential and commercial tariffs. The pricing is negotiated between City Power and the reseller, and is based on the volume of electricity purchased.
Billing:
Resellers are billed on a monthly basis for the electricity they purchase from City Power. The billing cycle is usually based on the reseller’s requirements and can be customized to suit their needs.
Metering:
Resellers are responsible for installing their own meters to measure the electricity consumed by their end-users. The meters must comply with City Power’s technical specifications and be regularly tested for accuracy.
