# AfriForum has challenged the constitutionality of the National Energy Regulator of South Africa’s secret settlement with Eskom over tariff disputes. The civil rights group argues that NERSA’s decision, which grants Eskom an additional 54-billion-rand and raises electricity prices by nearly nine-percent annually for 2026/2027 and 2027/2028, undermines transparency and accountability. NERSA admitted to errors in its revenue calculations but remained silent until exposed by the media. AfriForum’s Morné Mostert says they are consulting its legal team on possible legal action.
