On 14 December 2023, the National Energy Regulator of South Africa (NERSA) determined the 2024/25 tariff increase applicable to the Eskom direct customer tariffs from the 1st of April 2024 and to the Eskom tariffs for local authorities (Municipalities) applicable from the 1st of July 2024:
| Customer category | Percentage increase |
| Local authority tariff charges: 1 July 2024 – 30 June 2025 | 12,72% |
| Eskom direct customers (non-local authority): 1 April 2024 – 31 March 2025 | |

| Affordability subsidy charge* | 25,24% |
*The affordability subsidy charge is raised as a subsidy to the Homelight 20A tariff and is as determined by NERSA. The average increase applied to the Key industrial and urban tariffs will be 13.29% due to the increase on the affordability subsidy charge.
There are no tariff structural changes for 2024/25 but Eskom is considering a tariff restructuring submission to NERSA for implementation in 2025/26.
