The National Energy Regulator of South Africa, NERSA, is reviewing proposed electricity price hikes after public comments on the matter have closed last week.

The review follows submissions from consumers, businesses, and stakeholders expressing concerns over the affordability and impact of the proposed increases.

NERSA will carefully consider all input before making a final decision on the electricity tariffs for the upcoming period.

The regulator emphasizes its commitment to balancing sustainable energy provision with protecting the interests of South African households and businesses.
