In a significant victory for consumers, the Gauteng High Court has ruled that municipal electricity distributors cannot increase their prices from July 1, 2024. This decision comes after AfriForum's successful urgent application to block the National Energy Regulator of South Africa (Nersa) from considering tariff hike requests from municipalities. The court found that distributors failed to submit the required Cost of Supply studies to Nersa, a critical requirement for tariff increases. To discuss the implications of this ruling Elvis Presslin spoke to Morné Mostert, Manager of Local Government Affairs at AfriForum
