The Public Enterprises Minister Barbara Hogan has warned that holding down electricity prices now would result in even higher prices in the near future.

Speaking at a media briefing in Parliament yesterday, Hogan pointed out that should Eskom’s requested 34-percent increase not be granted, it would lead to a good deal of volatility in the tariff structure.

The national energy regulator is expected to announce his decision on the Eskom tariff later this week.
