Abstract: This paper identifies challenges facing Eskom Distribution Planning in adopting reliability assessment within the broader planning methodology. Eskom has adopted the approach of Value Based Reliability Planning, the basic principles of which have been described by others, but implementation requires practical management decisions. Changes have implications for the relationship between the distributors of electricity and the Regulator.
