Wednesday, March 19, 2025: Eskom was approved on March 11, 2025 by the National Energy Regulator (NSSA) National Energy Regulator (NSA) in 2026 ECOM tariffs regulated by changes in tariff structures and changes in tariff structures.
Tariffs for direct customers of Eskom increased by 12.74% on April 1, 2025 to increase the tariffs of the municipal collection on July 1, 2025 will increase by 11.32%.
A specified tariff structure provides fair costs, eliminates unplanned subsidies and facilitates responsible integration of alternative energy sources.
Updated tariffs will support the expenditures approved by NSA, approved by NSSA’s expenses for NSA (southern African African (NTCSA), which promote capital for all customers, the NSSA) will support the transformation of electricity supply industries approved by NERSA.
NERSAN’s approval allows Eskom to apply simpler tariffs for less consumption households and municipal batch purchases. The new tariffs will strengthen more powerful user payments in the price of electricity by removing customers and withdrawal subsidies.
“Our customers will not pay a higher price for consumption over 350 kW cubic meters, instead, we encourage the Eskom residential customers (C / kWH), free major electricity (FBE) and our government to get the lower electricity of our government.”
“As required by the NSA, as required by law, our customers will be able to reduce electricity generation of electricity, customers will not include electricity files.
“NSA approval will support developed energy security and reliability in the Eskom tariffs that support Eskom’s economic growth and sustainability.
The approved FY2026 tariffs will allow:
- Home Homelight Tariff customers to pay a C / KWH ratio, regardless of the purchase of electricity several times a month.
- Transparency and simplicity for Mearpower residential customers increased by dividing the structure, network tariffs (IBT) and the tariff in separate energy, network and retail payments.
- Simplified Municipal Electric Procurement and Management System with the consolidation of the previous 10 municipal tariffs: Great energy users (LPU), summarize for small power users (SPU) and public lighting.
- The removal of unplanned subsidies on service charges. All customer service expenses will be lifted to the delivery point (POD), not at the expense of service costs. This change reflects the resources required to manage numerous supply points in the field of large municipalities, industrial and mining areas.
- Better alignment of tariffs for the use of the national system operator, industry, mining and trade, prices and times in periods.
- By allocating energy costs for the re-renewable energy program, transparency and convenience of electricity production and comfort, inheritance and stable generation are divided into energy costs.
- Contributing to international subsidies with the extraction of a loan of a loan of lending to wheeled energy for wheeled energy.
- Payments to transport the Eskom network to transport electricity to transport electricity will no longer be re-eligible, because new tariffs reflect the network configuration.
“The approval of Eskom FY2026 has ensured a significant step for fully-free tariffs, supply of electricity, processing and networking services for network services. Dan Marokane, Executive Director of the Eskom Group.
Changes and increments are limited to 12.74% per annum approved by NSA. When FY2026 is compared to current tariffs, changes that are the result of electricity costs for customers vary between customer tariffs due to changes in tariff structures. For example, a large industrial, mining, trade and rural customers will feel a common decrease in prices for a constant charge and winter energy time.
