Eskom's proposed increase in electricity tariffs has been opposed by various stakeholders as well as members of the public. Nersa's public hearings on Eskom's proposed electricity tariff hike are under way in Cape Town.
The hearings started today and will end tomorrow in the Mother City, before moving to other parts of South Africa. Eskom has applied to Nersa to approve a 36 percent electricity price hike from April next year.
This as part of Eskoms Sixth Multi-Year Price Determination revenue application for the 2025/26, 2026/27 and 2027/28 financial years.
Residents have expressed anger and frustration over the proposal, saying theyre already struggling to keep up with the current rate.
Nersa's public hearings provide a platform for interested stakeholders and the public to engage with Eskom's plans to increase the price of electricity
