Several petitions which had garnered huge support had been started by residents in the City of Cape Town metro in a bid to fight high electricity tariffs. Electricity Tariffs CoCT

Wednesday I bought R100 electricity, got 41 units. Today I bought another R100, got 31 units. This City really screws us, unprovoked.I just got 15 units of electricity for R50… that’s 15…. How does the poor survive in Cape TownThe increase date depends on from who you getting your electricity from. Direct from Eskom was 1 April, from municipality was 1 July. The cost per unit do differ between the two as well. I'm not sure how CoCT's price tier system works.

Dickson said the City is claiming it applied"only" a 13.5% tariff increase for electricity was disingenuous as only 65% of its costs were due to bulk purchases from Eskom, which was subjected to a 17.8% increase. “This means that a person whose municipal account fell into arrears buys R10 prepaid electricity; he may get only R1 in electricity units, and R9 is taken by the City towards his debt,” she said.
