Nersa has proposed an additional eight stages of load shedding, envisioning a complete shutdown at stage 16 in the worst-case scenario.

That’s right; after South Africa endured its worst-ever year of load shedding, a big 2024 Eskom price hike is on the cards. Here’s more…

The DA wants the 30% tariff hike NERSA granted to Eskom to be declared invalid and set aside as load shedding persists.

Earlier this year, NERSA approved Eskom’s application for a hefty tariff hike which came into effect on 1 April.

The DA says the 18.65% tariff hike approved by NERSA is daylight robbery against consumers who have to pay for non-existent electricity.

‘South Africans are being asked to pay for corruption and mismanagement at Eskom in the most unfair, unaffordable and unjust way,’ said Hill-Lewis.

National Energy Regulator of South Africa (Nersa) has approved an 18.65% increase in electricity prices for 2023 and a 12.74% hike in 2024.

South Africans will be paying 18.65% more for electricity from April 2023 as NERSA approved Eskom’s electricity hike application.

Despite being plunged into darkness South Africans might find themselves paying more for electricity if NERSA approves Eskom’s application.

The National Energy Regulator of South Africa (Nersa) has approved a 9.6% tariff increase for Eskom. What does this mean for the consumer?

Nersa has appealed to interested parties to join its high court application opposing Eskom’s bid to claw back R13 billion from consumers.

Brace yourself if you receive electricity directly from Eskom. The energy provider is increasing its tariffs.

Eskom said that Nersa having concurred with the determination that 11 813 MW worth of infrastructure is required has come at a good time.

According to Eskom, its debt continues to grow despite price increases. It has, therefore, suggested that prices may be too low to begin with.

Energy expert Ted Blom says the gravy train at Eskom ‘runs deep and wide’, adding that the utility is ‘on a journey to grab as much money out of the economy as they can’.

Eskom are happy, but it’s not great news for the rest of us. The firm will reclaim R69bn in funds, and a tariff increase is now nailed-on.

The judgement means that Nersa must now rethink their decision to limit tariffs, with Eskom now able to recoup the full R67 billion amount.

Nersa have admitted to ‘procedural mistakes’ in calculating Eskom’s rate rise. It’s now likely that higher electricity prices will come to SA.

The reduced tariff hikes will do nothing but drive customers away and set a precedent for further hikes.

Our electricity is getting more expensive, and Eskom have been granted another reprieve. But Natasha Mazzone has nothing but disdain for this hike.

This feels more like a tariff heist than a tariff hike: Eskom have managed to get an increase, but Nersa didn’t give them everything they wanted.

Eskom are currently between a rock and a hard place, according to the experts. Watch Nersa deliver their verdict via a live stream here.

The ball is in NERSA’s court now.

Eskom will learn of its fate when the public hearings conclude on Tuesday

Eskom may have taken it too far this time.

Just so we are clear, this is 15% plus 4.41% that is being proposed from the next financial year.

In theory, the price of electricity could rise between 4% and 19% in April 2019.

Classic Eskom.
