The National Energy Regulator's decision to grant Eskom tariff increases of 18.65% and 12.74% over the next two years will hit hard for South African consumers whose wallets are already stretched to the limit. | News24_Business

The National Energy Regulator's decision to grant Eskom tariff increases of 18.65% and 12.74% over the next two years will hit hard for South African consumers whose wallets are already stretched to the limit.

The National Energy Regulator of South Africa on Thursday announced the tariff increase decisions, the first of which takes effect from 1 April this year. Against Eskom's application for a 32% increase, Nersa granted the 18.65% increase for the year 2023/24, which starts in April. This translates into total revenue of R300 billion for the year and a tariff of 173.80 cents per kWh.Get 14 days free to read all our investigative and in-depth journalism.

_Business PresidencyZA CyrilRamaphosa you have said that small businesses are the ones with a greater chance to get us out of this big hole called unemployment, how do you propose that will happen with such expensive electricity that's barely on?

Roodt: Business rescue plan will enable Eskom to provide consistent power againEconomist Dawie Roodt said mismanagement of the power supply monopoly was likely to lead to privatisation. 100% agree! Another idea that GwedeMantashe1 will decline. His policy is decline everything ' this will probably include firing a lot of people '....not a chance on hell that this will happen. The unions will burn eskom to the ground before they let that happen.
