23 December 2022 - NW4115
Pambo, Mr V to ask the Minister of Mineral Resources and Energy
What is his department’s position regarding the 32% increase in electricity tariffs that Eskom has applied for at the National Energy Regulator of South Africa? NW5128E
Reply:
The Minister does not get involved in Eskom tariff decisions. This is a domain of an independent Regulator, NERSA, which is guided by a published and well consulted methodology, which is a condition of Eskom licence.
