GEORGE NEWS - Eskom's proposed tariff structure adjustments tabled to the National Energy Regulator (Nersa) have been met with huge concern, especially in the current economic climate.
Among its proposals are:
• Doing away with inclining block tariffs (the smaller your consumption, the cheaper it is per unit and the more your consume, the more expensive it becomes);
• Introducing a residential time-of-use tariff, called Homeflex, for urban residential customers. Homeflex will only be mandatory for consumers who have embedded alternative power generation (electricity that they want to sell back to the grid).
