The Presidential Climate Commission has called for a reform of South Africa’s electricity prices to support the grid’s transition to more renewable power.
The PCC explained that Eskom was currently unable to recover its full costs through the existing tariff structure. “Providing technical and financial support to municipalities to implement electricity reforms is core to successful power reform and local government service delivery and financial sustainability,” the PCC said.
Indigent households currently get either 50kWh or 60kWh of free electricity per month, depending on the municipality in which they are located. The state-owned power utility has long complained that it struggled to service its debts with the increases Nersa approved.
