The utility welcomed the tariff hike and recognised the pressure it will put on consumers, also offering another apology for load shedding. | News24_Business

Eskom says it appreciates the"tough decision" made by the National Energy Regulator of South Africa to hike electricity tariffs by more than 18% and 12% in the next two financial years respectively, adding that it"recognises the pressures this determination will place on consumers".

The decision follows a court order requiring Nersa to undertake the necessary regulatory steps to assess, consult and make a determination on Eskom’s revenue application in time for the first hike to be implemented in April this year. "It is evident that both Eskom and Nersa are aligned that every effort needs to be made to improve the energy availability factor at Eskom power stations," the utility said, noting that the shortage in capacity is due to both Eskom performance and delays in the Independent Power Producers projects which need to be addressed.
