The city and its power utility say the applicants are challenging the tariff determination in form, but the guideline and benchmark methodology in substance. Moneyweb SouthAfrica power

The High Court in Pretoria will from Monday hear an application by the non-profit Casting, Forging and Machining Cluster of South Africa and four of its members to have energy regulator Nersa’s approval of City Power’s tariffs for 2019/2020 reviewed and set aside. The applicants represent energy-intensive users who operate within the licensed distribution area of the City of Joburg’s electrical utility City Power.

CoJ’s plans to take over more electricity distribution from Eskom would hit business hard The decision the intensive users are now attacking in court was based on the same controversial methodology that provides for Nersa to set an annual guideline increase and benchmarks for different user categories. In the meantime, Nersa is developing a new tariff methodology that will apply to Eskom and all other licensees, including municipalities.
