According to the published timelines, stakeholders have until January 20 to submit written responses to the applications. Nersa will also hold public hearings on the matter in all nine provinces during February and plans to announce its decision on March 24 next year. If Nersa awards Eskom the full R27.2 billion and splits it over two years, in 2021/22 and 2022/23, it will push the expected increase in April 2021 from 5.01% to 11.38%.

If Eskom’s other applications succeed, the court might refer the matters back to Nersa for redetermination, which would once again delay any price certainty. The biggest impact at municipal level was in KwaZulu-Natal, where the closure of two furnaces by Richards Bay Alloys and downscaling by Karbochem cost Eskom 574 gigawatt hours in sales.

LUKANYO MNYANDA: Protracted Eskom nightmare leaves economy with no light at end of tunnelEven before the latest power cuts it looked as if SA would struggle to get positive economic growth for the year, let alone the 0.5% the Reserve Bank and the Treasury forecast LukanyoMnyanda i bet that 0.55 as pathetic and regressive as it is, is also crooked...purely because pravingordhan is not qualified with the numbers. When dealing at the level he is, a minor pharmacy qualification does not cut the mustard, ..you are out of your depth Gordhan LukanyoMnyanda just because Zuma with a grade 2 made you finance minister does not make you capable, as we saw during your tenure LukanyoMnyanda pravingordhan is nothing but a small time crook and a fraud. The quicker the country wakes up to it the better off it will be. I am surprised the press has not checked his qualifications

Eskom continues with stage 2 load-shedding on SaturdayEskom is continuing with stage 2 rotational load-shedding on Saturday, saying that this is necessary to “cater for further trips and to create capacity to replenish water reserves for our pumped storage schemes”. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🌚 You are clueless...we will rather just keep trying the lights on this end It is with great regret to announce Eskom’s decision to cut off electricity and minimise the impact of the job losses after receiving bailout from you the taxpayers. Eskom is operating under challenging circumstances made worse by the Guptas. Next cut due Xmas
