Nersa suspends staff member over R54-billion Eskom tariff error

# The energy regulator, Nersa, has suspended a staff member over a 54-billion-rand mistake in Eskom’s tariff determination. According to News24 the utility will recover part of the shortfall through higher tariffs of 8.8-percent over two years, covering 35-billion-rand, with the remaining 19-billion-rand to be recovered later. Electricity and Energy minister Kgosientsho Ramokgopa says the electricity pricing system will be reviewed to make it simpler, clearer, and easier for consumers to understand.
