Eskom: Electricity Tariff Shock After Regulator Makes Mistake
The SA Local Government Association (Salga) has criticised energy regulator Nersa's secret R54 billion settlement with Eskom, saying citizens could not continue to bail out government's inefficiencies.
Nersa confirmed this week that it made a mistake in determining Eskom's revenue for this and the next two financial years. It means South Africans will have to pay R54 billion more through higher electricity tariffs.
Earlier this year, Nersa approved electricity price hikes of 12.74% for the 2025-26 financial year, 5.36% for 2026-27 and 6.19% for 2027-28.
Nersa's error will now see tariff increases of 8.76% in 2026-27 and 8.83% in 2027-28.
Salga on Friday said the blunder would worsen the cost-of-living crisis in South Africa.

Petrol price drops are a mirage
The recently announced petrol price reduction of 15 or 16c per litre for September is just one of many tallies that don't really lower the price of fuel to the point of the lower international price now in the mid-$60 per barrel.
