Nersa Approves Eskom Tariffs - Here's How Much More You'll Pay

From 1 April, tariffs for Eskom direct customers will increase by 12.74. Tariffs for municipalities will go up by 11.32, effective 1 July. Municipalities usually pass these increased on to homes and businesses, though these increases dont always exactly match the increase from Eskom.

"The difference in percentage is brought about by the difference in the implementation dates of Eskom direct customers and municipalities buying from Eskom," Nersa said in a statement on Monday.

"According to the ERTSA methodology, Eskom must recover the full allowed revenue within its financial year, which is from April to March. However, the municipal financial year is from July to June."
