Eskom responds to 9.61% electricity tariff increase announcement

Power utility Eskom has responded to the National Energy Regulator of South Africa's (Nersa's) decision on the electricity tariff increase the utility will be allowed to implement from April 2022.

Nersa on Thursday announced it had granted Eskom an average standard tariff increase of 9.61%, as opposed to the 20.5% Eskom had requested in its 2022/2023 revenue application.

The utility said the Eskom Board would deliberate further before deciding how it can continue to sustainably provide electricity to the extent possible in the context of the revenue decision.

Start cutting those 10k jobs mentioned and that would probably get you looking much healthier in this regard, hey ...

Let's first understand what portion of Eskom's finance deals with salaries and reduce it from there.

Ok you do know that Eskoms fleet is falling apart, it doesn't announce loadshedding cause it doesn't get an increase, it announces it because it's falling apart, I think the last couple of times have shown this.

Eskom is in Trouble because of their own past shortcomings, their fleet and generators falling apart is not our fault its theirs and they should be held accountable for it (not that accountability is a thing in SA) . They must get the funds from their constituents who took their money and hold them accountable not the public or atleast the few that actually pays.

Its like a mechanic telling you that his equipment is old and was never maintained properly or the previous client didn't pay him and drove off "so I'm adding a 20% increase to your bill otherwise I wont bele to service your car in the future"

Crap allow private energy production if eskom can't provide or their prices are too high then we should be able to get it somewhere ells.

And by some miracle it won't have any effect on the household inflation.

Winter is coming. Insulate your house, roof, windows, pipes and geyser. The insulation stuff is cheap at builders. You’ll be paying more anyway, the question is a lot more or just a little more.

Dark winter coming

You and I have this same stance each time we see this kak.

But no, people want to believe Eskom implements loadshedding deliberately because they didn’t get their requested tariffs.

Compete bullshit. But that’s not going to stop the misinformation. It is what it is.
