City Power consumers face 8.63% electricity hike as new tariffs kick in

JOHANNESBURG - City Power consumers will have to dig deep in their pockets as sharp price hikes kick in.

It follows NERSA's approval of an 8.76 percent annual tariff increase for Eskom for 2026/27.

But the power utility says it's adjusting its tariffs for the year to 8.63 percent lower than NERSA and Eskom to help cushion customers against rising electricity costs.

NERSA has approved 176 municipal and local authority tariff hike applications for the 2026/27 financial year
