Eskom and Telkom — A tale of two dying monopolies
Eskom’s attempt to overhaul its electricity tariff structure is reminiscent of Telkom’s complaints nearly fifteen years ago that it was losing money on every phone line it supplied in the country.
The power utility has submitted its updated retail tariff plan (RTP) to the National Energy Regulator of South Africa, which proposes huge price increases for connecting to the electrical grid.
