Webinar on Eskom’s Latest Electricity Tariff Increases

SAFCEI and the REAP project recently hosted a webinar to unpack Eskom’s proposed 8.8% electricity tariff increase for 2027/28 and what it means for consumers, particularly households already facing energy poverty and rising living costs. The discussion explored: 🔹 What Eskom’s proposed tariff changes mean for electricity consumers 🔹 How changes to fixed and service charges could affect households 🔹 The impact of rising electricity costs on energy affordability and access 🔹 Why public participation in the NERSA consultation process matters 🔹 How communities and civil society can make informed submissions 📢 Have your say: NERSA is accepting written submissions on the proposed tariff changes until 2 October 2026. 📧 Send submissions to: ertsa@nersa.org.za
