Eskom applies electricity tariff increase

The price of electricity will increase this week, following Eskom’s implementation of its new electricity tariff of between 12.72% and 12.74%. 

This after the National Energy Regulator of South Africa (NERSA) determined the increases in December last year.

The increases are as follows:

  • Local authority tariff charges: 1 July 2024 – 30 June 2025: 12.72%
  • Eskom direct customers: 1 April 2024 – 31 March 2025:
    • All tariff charges except the affordability subsidy charge: 12.74%.
    • Homelight 20A: 12.74%.
    • Affordability subsidy charge: 25.24%

“The average increase applied to the key industrial and urban tariffs will be 13.29% due to the increase in the affordability subsidy charge. The affordability subsidy charge is raised as a subsidy to the Homelight 20A tariff and is determined by NERSA. This charge exists due to historically lower Homelight 20A tariff increases and is paid by the non-municipal large industrial and urban tariffs.

“There are no tariff structural changes for 2024/25, however, Eskom is considering a tariff restructuring submission to NERSA for implementation in 2025/26,” the power utility said. – SAnews.gov.za

  2. Van der Merwe is approached by SANRAL one day who want to build a new highway through his donkey farm. Van is really concerned with how his donkeys can get from one side of the farm to the other without having to cross the highway and risk being injured or killed. He is promised that they will build bridges the highway so that his donkeys can cross under the highway. Van agrees and gives them the go-ahead.

    The highway is built and a year later the same rep goes to the farm to go see how Van and his donkeys are. He eventually finds Van under one of these bridges chipping away at the roof of the tunnel with a hammer and chisel.

    \”Mnr Van de Merwe, what are you doing damaging the highway bridge?\”
