Drakenstein mayor Conrad Poole has raised a formal objection against the 18.65% electricity tariff increase that was approved for State-owned power utility Eskom from April 1, asking that the increase not be higher than the country’s inflation rate of 7.4%.
The tariff increase was granted to Eskom by the National Energy Regulator of South Africa (Nersa) for the 2023/24 financial year.
