Electricity price PAIN coming for South Africans on 1 July

From Wednesday 1 July 2026, electricity price pain will hit South African households. This is due to a new round of municipal electricity tariffs, as councils implement annual increases approved by the National Energy Regulator of South Africa (NERSA). Don’t forget that these land squarely on top of Eskom’s own tariff hike for direct customers, which came into effect on 1 April 2026.
