Industrial gas users say this poses a huge risk to the economy.

The price hike would cost South Africa R325 million per month as of 1 August 2022, warned industry body the Industrial Gas Users Association of Southern Africa .The energy company says the increases fall below the maximum allowable price in terms of the prevailing methodology for setting domestic gas prices.

Sasol statement Industrial gas users are already taking the National Energy Regulator of SA to court over the methodology used to set gas prices.In its response, Nersa stated it had not approved the increases announced by Sasol Gas.It will also consider other available avenues to ensure the previous decision taken before the international energy crisis 'is not inimical to the South African consumer and the gas industry’ pledged Nomfundo Maseti .

What the market didn't expect was the unilateral short notice by Sasol of this increase... effectively from the first of August.
