The National Energy Regulator of South Africa (NERSA) has determined the following tariff increase to be applied to the Eskom direct customer tariff charges and to the Eskom tariffs applicable to local authorities (municipal):

Customer category Percentage increase
Local authority tariff charges: 1 July 2023 – 30 June 2024 18,49%
Eskom direct customers: 1 April 2023 – 31 March 2024  
All tariff charges except the affordability subsidy charge and Homelight 20A 18,65%

In August 2022, Eskom submitted to NERSA, proposed changes to its tariffs to be updated with the most recent cost-of-supply study and structural changes. NERSA did not approve any of the Eskom changes proposed, except for the introduction of the Homeflex tariff.  This tariff was revised by NERSA and is included in the Eskom Schedule of Standard prices.  Eskom has included in the Homeflex tariff, net-billing credit rates for any energy exported.
