R2,500 per month electricity hike proposed for South Africa

Eskom proposed tariff hike 2025

A proposed electricity rate increase in South Africa could see Eskom request a hike of 36.15% to 44% from the National Energy Regulator of South Africa (Nersa) for 2025. This adjustment could lead to an additional R2,500 per month, depending on consumption levels.

For an average household using 900 kWh, the monthly bill could rise by up to R1,600.

According to a recent Daily Maverick report, Eskom has put forward a significant proposal for raising electricity tariffs.
