The National Energy Regulator of South Africa (Nersa) has published Eskom’s proposed Retail Tariff Plan for public consultation detailing changes to its tariff charges and rates. “The proposed tariff changes aim to support an evolving electricity supply industry, ensuring that electricity tariffs reflect Nersa-approved costs for generation, transmission, and distribution services, while considering affordability, fairness, and transparency,” the utility said. “The proposed tariff changes aim to restructure existing tariffs and avoid the creation of unintended subsidies. Eskom will not generate additional revenue from the proposed tariff restructuring but will rebalance the charges while remaining within the 2024/25 costs already approved by Nersa,” said Bala. The Retail Tariff Plan and the customer impact tool can be accessed on Eskom’s websiteEskom’s Retail Tariff Plan inviting comments from members of the public can be found on the NERSA websiteNersa to hold public hearings into tariff proposals by EskomMembers of the public are urged to take part in the public hearings where Eskom will openly respond to all questions on the proposed tariff structure.
