Before I got prepaid, I used to have thee 4 options on a single bill :

Rates
Water
Electricity
Sewerage

We're looking at a house and we asked for the bill, she sent two bills - a separate Eskom one and then the below :

Rates
Water
Sewerage

Is there any difference as to cost ?
Eskom direct is better, I guess ?

Yeah Eskom direct normally has better rates from what I understand. No markup from the municipality.

I am getting a handful of levy invoices, and its directly linked to COJ, which get power from cityPower.

If you get direct via cityPower you save roughly 15% (after the new July 2021 increases)

Direct from Eskom, not City power.

We are now at coj, moving over to CP soon

CP is CoJ. Unless you mean prepaid.

Nope, not prepaid! Post paid

 

[Lupus]

Nope, not prepaid! Post paid

Then I don't understand? CoJ provides power through CP who in turn get 90% from Eskom. There are only 2 providers in Johannesburg, CP or Eskom

Well, we soon will get power directly from Cp, having a saving of 15%!

I couldnt understand it either as CP powers COJ!

I will keep you posted

That's the other thing I don't get, 15% is City Powers markup from Eskom? Are you sure you weren't with some 3rd party prepaid?

Totally confirmed it postpaid!

 

[Sinbad]

Eskom also charges a markup.

Wow bastardos

I don't pay any extra mark up?
