The proposals are contained in Eskom’s Retail Tariff Plan for 2023 and will come into effect if approved by the National Energy Regulator.One energy expert says this is the cash-strapped utility's way of ensuring that consumers don't bypass the system. "Basically if you're going to go to the grid -- whether you only have access to power or you use power -- they're gonna charge you for each and every element," said Nato Oosthuizen.
"The only controllable will be your usage and hopefully that will be communicated well to consumers."
