The increase for 2024/2025 translated to 195c per kWh and 12.74%.
Eskom’s application was published on July 29 2022 and the public was given until September 8 to comment. Bukula said Nersa received more than 2,000 written comments from citizens, agricultural and environmental organisations, municipalities and intensive energy users.“We received those comments and considered them in making the determination.”
Eskom’s application was considered against economic challenges, declining household income, declining investments, high unemployment, low industrial production and load-shedding. 'The increase for Eskom supplied customers will take effect from April 1 and a date will be determined for customers supplied by municipalities,” Bukula said.
