Die energiereguleerder Nersa het die stigting van 'n Elektrisiteitsmarkadviesforum goedgekeur. Die forum sal Nersa help terwyl die land voorberei om oor die volgende vyf jaar 'n mededingende elektrisiteitsmark te betree. Dit sal help om kernreëls en kodes te finaliseer en te verseker dat alle belanghebbendes gereed is vir die veranderinge. Charles Hlebela van Nersa sê die stap is belangrik in die versterking van toesig en die aanmoediging van breër deelname in die elektrisiteitsbedryf:
Suid-Afrikaners kan skerp stygings in kragtariewe verwag en Eskom se regstreekse verbruikers kan volgende maand tot 12,74-persent meer betaal. Munisipaliteite sal 'n verhoging van 11,32-persent deurgee vanaf 1 Julie. Die verhogings is deel van Eskom se strategie om goedgekeurde inkomste te verhaal en finansiële uitdagings die hoof te bied. Die energie-reguleerder Nersa se woordvoerder, Charles Hlebela, sê aandeelhouer-terugvoering is in ag geneem voor die verhogings goedgekeur is wat huishoudings, sake-ondernemings en munisipale verbruikers sal raak:

Nersa se openbare verhore oor die moontlike verhoging is tans in Kaapstad aan die gang. Green Connection se woordvoerder, Liziwe McDaid, sê dis ʼn probleem dat Eskom nie bestendige elektrisiteitstoevoer kan verskaf nie, maar nogtans verwag verbruikers moet meer betaal.

Die DA versoek Eskom om sy duur regsgeding teen die Nasionale Energiereguleerder oor die uitreiking van nuwe elektrisiteitsverhandelingslisensies in Eskom se diensgebied, te laat vaar. Die DA-lid, Kevin Mileham, sê hierdie saak veroorsaak nie net afleiding van die kragvoorsiener se grootste verantwoordelikheid, om betroubare elektrisiteit aan Suid-Afrikaners te lewer nie, maar is ook teenstrydig met die gees en doelwitte van die Wet op Elektrisiteitsregulering wat mededinging uitdruklik aanmoedig.

Die EFF sê die DA-geleide regering in Kaapstad het goedgekeurde elektrisiteitstariefverhogings oorskry en 'n verhoging van 17,6-persent ingestel in plaas van die Nasionale Energiereguleerder van Suid-Afrika se verhoging van 15,1-persent. Die party voer aan Kaapstad se tariewe is hoër as die van ander munisipaliteite en het buitensporige winste tot gevolg. Nazier Paulsen van die EFF het tydens die Parlement se elektrisiteitsdebat gepraat en die stad se regstryd met Nersa gekritiseer. Hy waarsku verbruikers sal dalk die hoë koste van heffings dra indien die stad verloor:

To shed more light on this matter, Elvis Presslin spoke to Kevin Mileham, the DA's spokesperson on Electricity and Energy

Chris Yelland, Energy Analyst and MD at EE Business Intelligence, joins Bruce Whitfield to discuss how The National Energy Regulator of South Africa (Nersa) is negotiating with authorities to potentially increase the free electricity provided to low-income households. Currently, over 8 million households in South Africa benefit from the free basic electricity (FBE) program, receiving 50 kWh per month. At the end of May, Nersa approved a new rate for FBE, which municipalities must pay Eskom for supplying this free power. Starting July 1, the rate for the 2024/25 municipal financial year will be 194.40c/kWh, a 12.5% increase from the previous rate of 172.76c/kWh. Siobhan Redford, Economist at RMB takes host, Bruce Whitfield through The RMB/BER Business Confidence Index.

Die Nasionale Energiereguleerder van Suid-Afrika het 'n gratis basiese elektrisiteitsprys van 194,40-sent per kilowatt-uur goedgekeur. Dit sal vanaf die eerste van volgende maand van krag wees. Hierdie tarief bepaal hoe munisipaliteite Eskom vergoed vir die lewering van gratis basiese elektrisiteit aan huishoudings wat kwalifiseeer vir noodsaaklike behoeftes soos ligte en waterverwarming. Nersa se woordvoerder, Charles Hlebela, sê die huidige maandelikse toelae van 50 kilowatt-ure word ook hersien weens veranderende ekonomiese toestande:
Die Organisasie teen Belastingmisbruik neem die energiereguleerder, Nersa, hof toe oor sy besluit om opwekkingslisensies aan die Turkse onderneming Karpowership in Suid-Afrikaanse hawens toe te staan. Outa het 'n aansoek ingedien om die volledige, ongeredigeerde rekords te bekom van Nersa se besluit om opwekkingslisensies goed te keur. Die verhoor sal volgende maand in die Hooggeregshof in Pretoria plaasvind. Stefanie Fick van Outa voer aan Nersa se besluitneming toon geen deursigtigheid nie en kon nie 'n balans tussen openbare en ekonomiese belange bewerkstellig nie:
AfriForum het die Nasionale Energiereguleerder van Suid-Afrika gevra om te verduidelik of hy steeds munisipaliteite verplig om kostestudies in te dien wanneer hulle aansoek doen vir tariefverhogings. Verbruikers wat elektrisiteit by munisipaliteite koop kan dalk vanjaar ʼn verhoging vryspring omdat Nersa nie ʼn Hooggeregshof-bevel toegepas het wat na verwagting tot laer elektrisiteitstariewe sou lei nie. AfriForum se woordvoerder, Morné Mostert, sê die hof het in Oktober 2022 bevind die wyse waarop Nersa jaarliks munisipale elektrisiteitstariewe bepaal, is onwettig:
