NERSA hereby invites members of the public to submit comments on its consultation paper.

The public has until 21 January 2026 to comment on energy regulator Nersa’s plan to force South African energy users to pay Eskom an additional R76 billion for its mistakes.

Following a bruising court order in December 2025, rejecting a settlement agreement between the regulator and power utility, Nersa has published a consultation paper to solicit public comments on the matter.

      1. The Cost of Eskom’s Assets vs. Tariff Affordability
        Context: The court ruling requires NERSA to increase the value of Eskom’s assets (the Regulatory Asset Base), which directly increases the electricity tariff.
        Question: Given the current economic climate, do you accept a further increase in electricity tariffs to fund a higher valuation of Eskom’s power plants, or do you believe the asset values should be capped to keep electricity affordable?
      2. Paying for Aging and Unreliable Infrastructure
        Context: This redetermination decides which power stations are included in the price you pay. This includes aging plants and those prone to breakdowns.
        Question: Should consumers be forced to pay higher tariffs to cover the full value of power stations that are near the end of their lifespan or frequently unavailable due to breakdowns (load shedding)?
      3. Burdening Consumers with Construction and Operational Costs
        Context: The proposed adjustments allow Eskom to recover billions from the public for “Work Under Construction” and daily cash flow (“Working Capital”).
        Question: Do you agree that the consumer should carry the additional financial burden of funding Eskom’s incomplete construction projects and operational cash flow through increased electricity prices?
