The City of Tshwane is proposing a massive electricity price hike for residents this year, even as it struggles to keep power supplied to residents and businesses.price hike of 18% from 1 JulyThe proposed electricity price hike comes in lower than the municipal tariff hike granted by energy regulator Nersa, which was approved at 18.45%, and is also lower than the increase Eskom direct customers were hit with at the start of April .
Parts of region 4 of the city have experienced flare-ups of power outages in recent weeks.
