โ๐ญ๏ธ ๐๐ผ๐๐ ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ณ๐น๐ฒ๐ฐ๐๐ถ๐๐ถ๐๐:
Revenue requirements and operational costs are systematically allocated by function and customer class as our foundational analytical starting point.
๐ฎ๏ธ ๐ฆ๐ผ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ฎ๐น ๐ฃ๐ฟ๐ผ๐๐ฒ๐ฐ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป:
Lifeline tariffs and targeted transitional support are applied transparently, specifying target groups, scale, funding sources, and duration.
๐ฏ๏ธ ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ฎ๐ป๐ฐ๐ถ๐ฎ๐น ๐๐ฒ๐ฎ๐น๐๐ต:
Strengthening the cash flow and investment capacity of power sector institutions through progressive, cost-reflective normalization.
๐ฐ๏ธ ๐ง๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ป๐๐ฝ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ป๐ฐ๐ ๐ง๐ฒ๐๐:
Clearly separating intended social-policy choices from unintended financial burdens shifted onto the utility.
