City Power’s new tariff kicks in from the 1st of July 2026.
The tariff of a 8.63% increase, was approved by the National Energy Regulator (NERSA) Power for the 2026/27 financial year.
This follows an extensive process to review tariffs, as indicated by NERSA’s tariff methodology.
Charles Tlouane, Acting CEO of City Power, said “we understand that electricity tariff adjustments have a direct impact on households and businesses, particularly during challenging economic times. This is why we have worked carefully to contain the increase wherever possible while ensuring that we continue investing in the infrastructure needed to keep our supply areas powered.”
Other tariff hikes are City of Ekurhuleni (8.76%), City of Tshwane (8.80%), City of eThekwini (9.00%), Nelson Mandela Bay (10.95%) and Buffalo City (11.10%).
