How Eskom will convince Nersa to increase electricity prices

In its MYPD 3 Selective Reopener application hearing starting on Tuesday, Eskom’s acting CEO Brian Molefe will argue that an increase in tariffs will shorten load shedding and improve overall generation stability.

BS!1 We heard all of that before. What is the point of decreasing load shedding but business go bang because electricity is too expensive to use anyways.

with that increase i can buy myself solar panels batteries and an inverter and build my own setup. Every month just put some money away and buy out of my pocket. If i have enough power to last for 3 days then cut Eskom feed.

Same, also wouldn't have to deal with load shedding as a bonus.
Let's see what happens.

I am pretty sure the increase will happen.

Who staffs Nersa? Corrupt ANC politicians by any chance?

They cadres and politicians need more gravy

Yes, keep pushing the middle-class- the demographic that is basically carrying the entire country. At one point the middle class is going to say "nope, FU" and stop paying. Let's see how quickly things fall apart then. You can only stretch a limited income so far.

Blackmail, we've been having it.

I would be willing to pay an increase for a dedicated team focused on cutting illegal connections. Couple billion a year on that should do some good.

every time Eskom needed more money they held sa to hostage wither pay or face blackouts then they got the increases - still nothing changed - what makes it different now? fire these brainless morons get qualified people to do the job and you will find out theres no need for extra money. they want more money so they can have parties take more bonuses for a pathetic job they doing
