National Transmission Company South Africa (NTCSA) interim CEO Segomoco Scheppers has confirmed that the newly operationalised entity is making an allowable revenue application to the regulator that is distinct from that of Eskom as it seeks to secure the finances it requires for its operations and to implement its ambitious roll-out of new grid infrastructure. Speaking at an event co-hosted by the Powerline and Substation Association and the South African independent Power Producer Association, Scheppers argued that the newly separated entity had to be placed on a sound financial footing by securing the revenue required to run, maintain and expand the network.
