Abstract	This paper informs on a fundamental issue experienced in the planning and funding of electricity supply networks in South Africa; the contentious question of prioritising capital planning investment spend in an economically sustainable way, while still achieving universal access and supply of electricity to all South Africans. The trade-off between investment for performance at all costs relative to economic sense and sensibility is investigated. The approach is based on a quantitative modelling approach based on network reliability, cost of unserved energy and revenue relative to investment costs and return on investment in network performance terms. The methodology and outcomes obtained in such a way is described such that utility investment strategies can apply these principles in practice. 1 Partner and Head of Management Sciences at Eon Consulting, Building 25, Thornhill Office Park, Bekker Road, Vorna Valley, Midrand, 1686, South Africa, e-mail: martin.cameron@eon.co.za (www.eon.co.za) 2 Dr Clinton Carter-Brown, Corporate Specialist – Network Planning, Sub-transmission and Distribution Network Planning, Eskom, Megawatt Park, 2 Maxwell Drive, Sunninghill, Sandton, 2157, South Africa, email: cartercg@eskom.co.za (www.eskom.co.za)
