Nersa assures public that municipal electricity tariffs remain valid despite AfriForum’s court challenge

# Energy regulator Nersa says all municipal electricity tariffs for 2025/2026 remain valid despite AfriForum’s court challenge. The High Court in Pretoria is still considering AfriForum’s proposed timelines for tariff submissions, with a final decision expected on 18 November. Nersa’s Charles Hlebela says the regulator followed a full public consultation process, including a 30-day comment period, and all 177 municipalities submitted tariff applications based on proper cost of supply studies, a first in 20 years.
