  1. Review of bulk electricity power supply (generation) tariffs and tariff structures
  2. Review of transmission tariffs and tariff structures

  2. Develop cost reflective tariffs and tariff structures in transmission distribution and supply of electric power
  3. Develop transmission tariffs and wheeling tariffs for regional power trade initiatives and make recommendations as appropriate going forward
  4. Develop distribution tariffs to complement the transmission tariffs in place and make recommendations for implementation as appropriate going forward
  5. Develop a sustainable long-term T-o-U tariff for implementation for clarity best to define what ERC understands for economic based tariffs
  6. Recommend strategy for transition over time to economic based tariffs that are based on the full Long Run Marginal Costs at the various levels of the value chain
  7. Assess and propose appropriate tariff structure for rural based community power generation and distribution systems and in particular a framework for application by mini-hydros, off grids and solar systems such as Power Hive East Africa and Telek Power
