Eskom reportedly asks Nersa for 32.66% tariff increase

The sun is free....

They will tax this.

Unionised Eskom workers downed tools at the end of June, and executives revealed that staff who were showing up for work were being intimidated.

Executives disclosed three incidents where unnamed protestors allegedly slashed the tyres of a female manager’s car, set an Eskom vehicle on fire, and petrol-bombed another manager’s house.

Eskom has since reached an agreement with staff for a 7% wage increase and a R400 per month housing allowance increase.

The power utility said the deal would cost over a billion rand between 1 July 2022 and 30 June 2023.

How much can the country save if all the dead wood that's sabotaging power stations gets used as fuel or at the very least arrested and sacked?

Sure is, but not everyone will move to solar. Most companies will stay grid tied, leaving them with no choice but to accept the new tariff increase. Good luck avoiding it indirectly.

Surely if they're grid tied they should have a significant reduction in their electricity bill?

How much will we allow these arseholes to steal until we say no more

what 'n fokken joke

Companies who use solar will have a competitive edge.

South Africans with solar panels could pay 1,000% more for electricity than big power users

Nersa has a plan that will see solar users who still rely on Eskom when sunlight is sparse pay much more expensive electricity tariffs linked to the cost of generating electricity using the utility’s emergency diesel-powered units.

Oh that old BS if a click bait headline. Not happening.

It's like a software developer asking to refactor his own code. If he did it **** the first time, he'll just do it more shitty using some new trend the second time.

What. No. That’s not how it works.

You realize that, like anyone else software developers skills and understanding grows over time, right?

Thus they’re able to improve their code.

If we take your logic, someone who rides a bike and falls off. Will always fall of no matter how many times they’re asked to get back on it.

What a stupid comparison.

Give us 110% reliable electricity supply then we can talk Escum!

 

[Guest 290922]

Probably because of the increase in the price of diesel.

More like that 7% increase in the wage deal, that's going to cost an extra billion a year.

 

[Heisenborg]

Yep

Get the Vaseline out. Its a free for all now

7% wage increase.
5.66% diesel price increase.
20% for that second Eksdom they want to start up.

No need. My solar system keeps my costs low and ROI improves on each tariff increase.

 

[gotaway]

Yeah R100 prepaid only gets me 31units.

29 here

Makes my 33.7 units feel like a good deal (with lots of vasoline )

I'm on 410kWh for the month and still under R100. :whoops:

Yeah you will pay every other way

 

[Priapus]

Yeah you will pay every other way

Obviously. We all pay via taxes. No getting around it. So yes I’ll pay other ways.

Not the point I was making. My solar means my power bill is minimal from City power.

Im with you on that

The more they wanna fleece, the more i will resist.

Adding more pylontechs in December

Fk them
