Judge puts lights out on Eskom-Nersa behind-closed-doors settlement

Cape Times

December 23, 2025

THE Gauteng High Court, Pretoria sent Eskom and the National Energy Regulator of South Africa (Nersa) packing when they sought a behind-closed-doors settlement, which would have cost consumers approximately R54 billion.

The court not only refused to make the settlement an order of court but said it is untenable that such a decision could be made without public participation. The settlement endeavoured to correct an error in Eskom’s allowable revenue determination. The judgment, issued on Sunday, followed Eskom’s original court application for a review of Nersa’s decision regarding Eskom’s Multi-Year Price Determination (MYPD) application tariff.
