Nersa eyes R76bn Eskom hike from you
The Citizen
|January 07, 2026
Consumers have limited time to respond to a consultation paper published by energy regulator Nersa on 30 December, which proposes that consumers pay an additional R76 billion in electricity tariffs to compensate Eskom for mistakes the regulator made.
The amount is about 40% higher than the R54 billion settlement Nersa reached with Eskom behind closed doors in July, which the High Court in Pretoria refused to confirm after an intervention by AfriForum and the Minerals Council SA.
It ordered Nersa on 21 December to reconsider the matter after giving stakeholders an opportunity to make submissions on it.
The deadline for submissions is 21 January, according to the timeline Nersa published, and the regulator will make its final decision by 30 January.
