NERSA has gazetted Eskom’s proposed electricity price increase of 8.83% for 2027, launching a public consultation process. South Africans are given about four weeks to submit comments on the proposal.
The gazetting signals the start of the regulator’s formal review ahead of any final decision on electricity tariffs. While the reporting focuses on the consultation timeline and the stated percentage increase, the sources do not provide further detail on how the increase is calculated, the specific tariff components affected, or any alternative figures considered during the process.
