 The Minerals Council has noted with dismay the above-inflation electricity tariff increase of 18.65% that the National Energy Regulator of South Africa granted to Eskom in its 2023/24 financial year, starting April 1. This increase, coupled with the 12.74% tariff increased that is poised for the following financial year, will translate into a R13.5-billion, or 33.7%, increase in the mining industry’s electricity costs to R53.5-billion by the end of 2024, the council states.
