# The DA has referred the National Energy Regulator of South Africa to the Public Protector over a 54-billion-rand miscalculation in Eskom tariffs under Multi-Year Price Determination 6. The DA’s Kevin Mileham says the error, admitted by NERSA chairperson Thembani Bukula, will raise electricity prices in 2026/27 and 2027/28. The DA condemns NERSA’s governance failures, transparency gaps, and capacity issues, urging an overhaul of its board.
