The Energy Regulator announced on Thursday that Eskom’s tariff would rise by 9.61% on April 1, an increase that is less than half the 20.5% hike for which Eskom had applied. The tariff decision includes allowable revenue of R250-billion, against the R293-billion for the year outlined in Eskom’s submission to the National Energy Regulator of South Africa (Nersa) in July last year.
