Minister to battle Nersa over municipal power tariffs 4-Mar-2010
A National Energy Regulator of South Africa (Nersa) decision to cap municipalities' surcharges on electricity will "not be taken lying down", Cooperative Governance Minister Sicelo Shiceka said on Wednesday.
The National Energy Regulator of South Africa on Wednesday granted state-owned utility Eskom a 24,8% tariff increase for the 2010/11 financial year, falling short of the power firm's request for a 35% hike.
