BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The 2019-2024 JPS Tariff Application is the first one submitted to the Office of Utilities Regulation (O UR) under the new regulatory regime.
Since the National Energy Policy of 2009, several important changes to the legislative and policy landscape have contributed to the positive trend JPS has been driving in the sector. Leading up to the current Rate Review process, these include the introduction of the Electricity Act, 2015, the Office of Utilities Regulations (Amendment) Act, 2015 (OUR Act) and the Electricity Licence, 2016 (herein after referred to as the ‘Licence’).
