The Question is:
Whether it is prudent for the government to consider cancelling all Bid Window contracts? You don't deal with contracts that way. Once
you sign a contract, that contract is valid, and you deal with your to a contract with respect. That's why I explained earlier that, what we are busy with is not cancellation of the Bid Window contracts. It's about talking to them to reduce the price so that the impacts will be on the ultimate Eskom price.
You see, all the time we have been told that on the average, renewables is R220. But on telling the actual figures, we discovered that actually, from PV Window 1 is at R4,25c a unit, and it goes on because they signed an agreement at this point and got guaranteed CPI increase o the price. That's why we are talking to them. We are not forcing them or imposing condition to them. Instead, we are asking them if, we can find a formula of reducing that uptake price?
So, that's what we are doing. Therefore, cancelling the contract is not on the table for now.
