Cost of living | Electricity tariff hike added burden to households

JOHANNESBURG - Eskom's recent tariff increase will not just have an immediate impact on electricity bills, it’s also going to have consumers scrambling for long-term energy solutions.

That's according to Marc du Plessis, Executive Head of Standard Bank’s LookSee home efficiency platform.

He says the upward trend in electricity bills puts pressure on households to find sustainable and affordable energy solutions to alleviate the financial burden.

Nersa approved of a substantially lower tariff increase than Eskom asked for.
