Nelson Mandela Bay residents will pay at least 12.20% more for electricity in 2015/16.
This follows publication by the National Energy Regulator of South Africa (Nersa) of the municipal electricity tariff guide-line increase for the next financial year in the Government Gazette.
Metrominute reports that the increase does not include a possible second claw back request by Eskom to recover the additional costs associated with diesel required for running the two open cycle gas turbines for longer than was initially anticipated.
Nersa has yet to indicate when it will consider any request from Eskom for a further claw back.
