Skewed dynamics: For R1 000, prepaid electricity customers in Johannesburg get 575kWh of power, while those who are billed after the fact get 239kWh.

That's a difference of 336kWh … Image: Shutterstock

In addition, the lowest tariff block for residential prepaid customers would be reduced by 50kWh to 300kWh, meaning that higher tariff blocks will be reached earlier in the month than before. It states that the: “Residential prepaid customer currently does not make [an adequate] contribution to the cost of operating and maintaining the electricity infrastructure to ensure its availability on demand. It is therefore proposed to introduce a capacity charge of R200/m for all residential prepaid customers.” If the city gets its way, it will increasingly be closing the gap between residential prepaid and conventional users over the next three years.

Conventional business users currently pay between R800 and R900 per month in basic charges, with the unit cost only slightly lower than that of their prepaid counterparts.
