GUEST – Adil Nchabeleng – Energy Expert
Eskom has proposed a sweeping overhaul of its electricity pricing design, saying the current model is outdated and no longer fit for purpose in a changing landscape marked by a wave of solar panel installations.
The proposal, submitted to the National Energy Regulator of SA (Nersa) in September for approval, calls for the scrapping of the so-called inclining block tariff, which charges households less for the first 600kWh of electricity and progressively more for additional usage.
