Overall Conclusions
The relationship between sales and GDP in the forecast implies less energy-intensive growth, risk is that as the economy rebalances toward supply side growth becomes more energy intensive than during recent years

exceeded electricity sales growth
Key Question Key Finding Impact Comment
There is a close relationship between GDP
growth and electricity consumption. Is the
relationship between sales and GDP in the
forecast period consistent with historical trends?
MYPD2 Energy sales forecast implies that economic growth will be
less energy intensive over the next decade, particularly beyond
2015. Risk is that as the economy re-balances away from
demand-led growth to supply led growth, energy-intensity of
growth rises rather than falls.

South Africa needs to create 50GW1 of new electricity capacity by 2028, requiring a faster build rate than ever before
Incremental installed capacity, MW
1 Including 10GW needed to replace decommissioned capacity, and 5GW of DSM (embedded in planned)2 Historical figures do not include capacity to replace decommissioning
• Huge Eskom-driven investment, with clear objective to provide abundant cheap power
• Excess capacity -more than 10 GW mothballed
• Under-investment, despite warnings of looming crisis
• IPPs did not deliver as intended
• Significant capacity returned to service through de-mothballing
• Future capacity needs require a massive build programme
- Huge funding and skills requirements
- Complex context involving multiple objectives, technologies and stakeholders

Overall Conclusions
Background
2010/05/05 7
• On 30 September, Eskom submitted its MYPD2 application, requesting a 45% annual tariff increase over the MYPD2 period to fund its capital expansion program
• On 30 November, Eskom submitted an amended application, requesting a reduced annual tariff increase of 35% over the MYPD2 period
• On 24 February, NERSA announced that it had granted Eskom tariffincreases of 24.8%, 25.8% and 25.9% respectively over the MYPD2 period
• The sustainability and viability of the Eskom business as well as national security of electricity supply is fundamentally dependant on effective management of the funding requirements for the current and future build program.

Eskom was allowed revenue of R90 billion less for the period under review
2010/05/05 92010/05/05
• Despite NERSA calculating the WACC at 8.16% (a reasonable returnin terms of section 15(1)(a)) of the NERSA decision document, they only allow a return of 0.8%, 2.8% & 4.2% on assets for the next few years.
• This ultimately means that instead of being allowed a return on assets of R30.9 billion (using their own valuation of the asset base) in 2010/11, they allow only R3 billion. In total over the MYPD 2 period, allowed revenue is R90 billion less than it would’ve been had they used their own calculated WACC number. With either Eskom’svaluation or WACC the number would be more substantial
• When one considers the difference this would make to the overallallowed revenue, one can see that it would have a material & significant impact on funding requirements/shortfalls

Overall Conclusions
Overview of the funding model
2010/05/05 11
• Eskom have developed a cash flow , income statement and balance sheet forecast that considers the implication of the build program and capacity additions to the business
• The key outcome of the financial forecast is the quantification of Eskom’s cash flow shortfall
• The “Funding Gap” in the model is defined as the total cash shortfall resulting from capital expenditure that is not off-set by the profitability of Eskom and its secured funding agreements
• Although Eskom are working on a 10 and 20 year model, we have prepared a seven year forecast starting from 1 April 2010.
• The seven year forecast is considered by Eskom to best reflect their current build plan with Kusile fully operational
• The model consists of :-
• Revenue calculated in terms of the NERSA MYPD2 price determination tariffs, namely 24.8%, 25.8% and 25.9%
• All committed capital (Medupi, Ingula, Kusile) and uncommitted capital (Nuclear, Renewables)
• Assumes the base operating expenditure as from 30 November 2009
• Assumes a 25% increase in the average tariff in Years 4 and 5, with 6% increases assumed thereafter
• Aside from the tariff the model has not been adjusted for the NERSA MYPD2 decision

A risk of the unsecured funding gap is a potential downgrading in Eskom’s credit rating
2010/05/05 15
• All the rating agencies have Eskom on a negative outlook due to uncertainties relating to the funding gap and the regulatory environment beyond the three years
• A preliminary study by Eskom has been undertaken with respect to the financial impact of a fall in the rating. These preliminary indications calculate this impact to be between R4.3 billion and R15.9 billion based on a funding requirement of R150 billion.
The above scenarios are underpinned by:• Sovereign rating and support• Eskom remaining the dominant player in the South African
electricity market• No adverse material changes to the regulatory environment

Funding solution
The challenge is the next 3 to 7 year window
• The short term solution to the funding gap should maintain flexibility and position Eskom for longer term sustainability• Success would be to close the funding gap, address the generation gap whilst leaving Eskom and “SA Inc” with the flexibility
to structure for the future
Funding gap is:•R111bn in 3 years•R190bn in 7 years
Government support is key There is an immediate limited cash reserve
•A R15bn cash reserve exists that could address a portion of FY11/12
The new build cannot be deferred
•Deferring build and suffering load shedding/rationing will have material negative secondary consequences on the economy
•It is likely that most options would require a level of additional government support, particularly in the short-term
What will the industry (and Eskom) look like in the future•Will the option (addressing the short-term funding issues) negatively impact Eskom’s operational flexibility in the future
The new build cannot be deferred
•Deferring build and suffering load shedding/rationing will have material negative secondary consequences on the economy

smelters in short-termWill improve the longer term viability of the plants since their electricity will be cheaper relative to what it would have been.
11Key considerations: The increase in revenue will have large opportunity costs for the future as the contracts (at relatively favourable pricing terms) will be extended. .
Seek to renegotiate four key contracts (three with
aluminium smelters and one copper)
The negotiations are already underway and the objective
of such talks is to:1. Supply electricity at a "cost reflective" rate thereby
increasing revenue flow and 2. Turn the aluminium-related contracts into a ZAR
revenue stream instead of derivatives related to the aluminium price
The latter will have the net effect of removing a R6.8bn
liability line item on Eskom's balance sheet

Benchmark
Analysis
�How have other countries and their power utilities financed similar investment programmes?
�What are the lessons learnt; what is global best practice?
1
Quantify the
“funding gap”
�Quantify Eskom’s “funding gap” (i.e. build program cost less funds from operations) under
two cases:
�Base case: Eskom finances only costs that are contracted and committed:
�Full case: Base Case plus uncommitted costs
2
Debt capacity and
plan
�Determine how much debt capacity can Eskom support to bridge the “funding gap”
�Set out what credit rating Eskom must have to support this borrowing
�Set out a realistic debt funding plan and implementation timeline
3
Equity gap and
plan
�Determine how much equity is needed to increase debt capacity, to close the “funding gap”
�Set out the achievable equity alternatives to fill this gap – including new equity, sale of
assets, etc.
�Integrate the outcome of the Kusile advisory into the conclusions
4
Preliminary findings� Peer analysis shows utilities prioritise the use of FFO and debt to fund investment and dividends1
� Credit ratings are the key measure used to optimise the amount of debt2
� Utilities maintain strong investment grade debt ratings to ensure deepest access to debt markets across
all maturities throughout the economic cycle
� European utilities target an international credit rating of “A” or better
� US utilities target a rating of “BBB” or better
� Utilities also maintain liquidity buffers (i.e. cash and committed bank lines) to cover 1.7-1.8x of debt
maturing in the following 24-months to ensure sufficient capital on hand throughout the economic cycle
3
4 � Eskom’s current rating is “BBB+” (on par with the sovereign country rating)
� A “BBB” or higher international scale rating is required to access the deepest debt markets, on
competitive funding terms, across maturities out to 30 years, both domestically and offshore
5 � To maintain a “BBB+” rating Eskom will need considerably improved credit ratios
� In addition, it would be prudent for Eskom to retain a liquidity buffer to cover at least 1.0x debt maturing
in the following 18-months
24
� To maintain a BBB+ credit rating Eskom will need significant equity “like “ injection, options are under
investigation
� Once secured, Eskom will be able to raise additional debt to cover its requirements and still maintain
BBB+ rating on a standalone terms

Summary of ApproachSummary of Approach
Approach
under this
mandate,
summarised
as follows:
• Eskom must be self financing
• The build program will be financed from FFO, and to the extent FFO is insufficient there is a Funding Gap,
• Eskom must first maximise available debt capacity, onshore and offshore, to close the Funding Gap
• To maximise available debt capacity, Eskom must maintain its current investment grade credit ratings of “BBB+”
• To maintain these ratings, Eskom will need to meet certain credit ratios
• In addition, Eskom should target a liquidity buffer to cover debt maturing in the next 18-months
• Eskom may require additional equity to attain this required financial profile and close the Funding Gap

Overall Conclusions
World Bank Loan Details (one of our solutions)
• US$ 3.75bn (Guaranteed by SA Govt if Eskom defaults)
• 28.5 years final maturity (weighted average life 18 years)
• 7 year grace period before any repayments to be made (thereafterpayable semi-annually)
• Obtained from IBRD section of World Bank – therefore project specific and in the case of Medupi relates to 16 packages within Medupi
• Obtained procurement waivers for 13 of the 16 packages already awarded
• Condition of loan is to ensure Medupi retrofitted with FGD technology – this is aligned to Eskom’s environmental sustainability commitments
• US$ 410m of loan to fund Majuba Rail
• US$ 110m and US$ 150m to fund wind and solar, respectively29
