JOHANNESBURG - Big cities will soon get new electricity prices.
The High Court has ordered the metros to redetermine them.
The judge found the previous tariff approvals were unlawful and must be redone from scratch.
The revised rates must consider public input and use cost studies.
That could mean bill adjustments for consumers and households, including potential refunds or higher charges.
The decision also carries budget implications for affected cities as they navigate revised rates and planning.
The High Court also instructed Nersa to put fixed timelines in place to ensure more effective planning.
