The City of Cape Town has
expressed its concern regarding Eskom application for a further tariff increase
from the National Energy Regulator.
Eskom wants tariffs to go up
25.3 percent from July 1st which is double the expected hike. City of Cape
Town’s Executive Deputy Mayor Ian Neilson said the application has come so late
in the process for the drafting of budgets by municipalities.
Neilson said they believe that
22 percent or more is unaffordable for people particularly house holders and
therefore hopes that this matter can be resolved quickly so that they can prove
tariffs for our own consumers at a lower level.
