Eskom power price hikes could be on the way

[Mike Hoxbig]

So the court is forcing the regulator to allow eksdom's insane increases? Whahahahaha

Well they're forcing the regulator to do their jobs process the application.

All they have to do is accept or decline or impose their own limit. But they're dragging their heels...

Oh good. I was wondering what to do with all this money I have left over since the petrol price increase.

JHB South
SunSynk 8kW | 4xHubble AM2 20kWh | 16x400W Seraphim 6.4kWp in 2 strings of 8 | Solar-Assistant
Usage is ~20kWh per day (summer, more in winter), I need 0.3kWh trickle feed to keep the pre-paid meter happy - not feeding back to grid as I need to change the CoJ meter and switch to TOU tariff.
You can see which days it's been very cloudy/raining.
ROI Payback is expected to be about ~7 years, less years if Eskom get their 20% increase in 2022.

Eskom wants 20% more next year [2022]

EDIT: ROI Payback

You must check maybe the time of day meter could save you even more ?

What’s so funny about that? NERSA don’t agree with Eakins proposed pricing package. And wants to stop that. Not sure what the issue is?

Expect Eskom power price hikes

Hikes are only applicable to those that pay.
Soweto/Alex - you can ignore.

...along with allowing government to print as much money as they want, because economics be screwed.

I mean getting the taxpayer to pay MORE for electricity is the same as just printing money. Both are a waste.

Don't blame Eskom, seems Nersa is just like ICASA and ignores the rules.

If only our cars could run on Solar power. R20 a litre is crazy. R1 mil for an EV is too much.

My fork, Marelise, not spoon! Is there anything that works anymore? Probably been sucked dry by the many corrupt, unscrupulous, selfish, ignorant, etc. individuals both at the SOE's and the government itself.

 

[dualmeister]

Why?
Because they cannot run a Company properly

The real price of BEE..

We're just being made to pay for black incompetence.
