City Power has expressed strong opposition to Eskom's proposed electricity tariff hikes for the next three years, submitting a report to the Energy Regulator in objection to the increase. The utility argues that the planned hikes, which would significantly raise costs for municipalities and their customers, are too steep.
City Power advocates for a more manageable annual increase, suggesting that any tariff hike should not exceed 11%. However, critics argue that even this figure is too high given the current economic climate and the financial strain many are already facing.
The disagreement highlights ongoing concerns about the impact of rising energy costs on both local governments and residents.
