Project Overview

Response to NERSA tariff methodology for petroleum loading and pipelines

October 2015 | Infrastructure economics and finance, Projects, Regulatory and litigation support

Meridian was requested to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the implications of the new methodology, and to prepare a submission to NERSA on behalf of the client. We developed a financial model to compare the impact of the three possible tariff methodologies being considered and evaluated each from the perspective of the client’s commercial and financing strategy. It became clear that the new proposals exposed investors to significant new risks, which, if not adequately addressed by the regulatory regime, could scupper new investment. We are also assisting the client with ongoing engagements with the Regulator regarding their concerns about the new methodology.
