Eskom wants massive price increase

Eskom has made an urgent application to Nersa to increase the electricity tariff.

No, it's not our fault you didn't plan ahead and now have to use extremely expensive open cycle gas turbines, **** off!

If this was any other normal company clients would jump ship as soon as their "price increase" was announced. Sadly "we" the "client" don't have any other options available.

Normal companies that wish to expand would get loans/investments, not up their pricing to moer and gone.

**** off and die

Pay less for what your workers eat and plan better otherwise go get forked ......... so glad getting out of here is on the horizon.

Solar power is just becoming more viable.

Not exactly a surprise...

Cut off all the electricity thieves, i.e. those that make illegal connections from the nearest lamp post into the squatter shacks. If you happen to also cut of the heads of those thieves, that's also OK

I reduce consumption, Eksom still gets the same amount of money.

Aye! Cuts costs and improves supply of power.

Get the Soweto money, cut off electricity thieves, stop haemorrhaging money on the flaky insecure hacked voucher system (R400m+ illegally issued vouchers per year that we know of) and slash your food budget, grow a set of balls with the unions. Problem solved.

"Nersa" will naturally rubber stamp this.

Rich people, i.e. those who can still pay their rates and taxes, can pay. Milk them until there's no-one left to pay.

Nersa have actually not rubber stamped Eskom's requests for a while now.

But if they get this increase, they can fsck off.. I will go solar and go COMPLETELY off the grid... So instead of making R1500 per month off me, they will make nothing.

 

[HavocXphere]

Nersa have actually not rubber stamped Eskom's requests for a while now.

Due to political pressure to underinvest - which is exactly what caused this mess in the first place.

They should have gotten their increases long ago...they didn't and now it'll be bigger increases. I'm guessing 3 years of 25%.

Thats not to stay the lack of increases is the main problem but it is certainly contributing.

My consumption is rock bottom. I simply cannot use less. I just get to sit and watch as I get raped with increased costs every year.

So Eskom wants to increase its pricing, doesn't want to cut off the 1.5 million rand food supply, and we still going to experience load shedding after the price increase....

How much does 1 unit at Eskom sell for? I heard the municipalities charge double the price for 1 unit

#GetTheSowetoMoney

+100

And I think this figure was around 9 Billion rand

Soon they will be begging people to use electricity. Middleclass is going to go green and who will then pay.
