Q: |
What does ATAF stand for? |
| |
A: |
Automatic Tariff Adjustment Formula. ATAF is a formula that is intended to ensure that ZESCO's revenue base is not significantly eroded because of external macro economic factors. The economic factors that the formula is intended to take into account are foreign exchange currency i.e. depreciation of the Kwacha against the United States Dollars, and inflation (both domestic and international). The formula originated from ZESCO and in 1998, the ERB agreed to allow ZESCO Limited to use ATAF. |
