# AfriForum has welcomed the Gauteng High Court’s decision to block energy regulator NERSA’s appeal for municipal electricity tariff hikes.

AfriForum’s Morné Mostert emphasises the need for municipalities to submit cost-of-supply studies to justify tariff hikes. He says the court ordered that unauthorised rates be reverted pending submissions reviews:
