# ActionSA Gauteng caucus leader Funzi Ngobeni has submitted objections to NERSA over Eskom’s proposed 2027/28 electricity tariffs. Eskom is seeking an average 8.83-percent increase for direct customers, while municipal bulk purchases would rise by 8.84-percent. Ngobeni says lower-usage households could face bigger effective increases because of higher fixed charges. In addition, ActionSA is also questioning an unexplained 8.5-billion-rand revenue difference and wants Homelight customers protected from fixed charges. Public comments close on 2 October, with hearings scheduled for 8 October.
