BERGRIVIER STRONGLY REJECTS ESKOM’S PROPOSED 32% ELECTRICITY PRICE INCREASE
Statement by Bergrivier Municipality’s Executive Mayor Ald. Ray van Rooy
As Executive Mayor of Bergrivier Municipality, I simply cannot accept continuous, ridiculously unaffordable proposals by Eskom, for electricity price increases.
Eskom’s most recent application to the National Energy Regulator of South Africa (Nersa), requesting approval for an alarming 32% price increase in electricity, could again mean that consumers or the public will have to fork out more money for this essential service.
I fully support both, Stellenbosch Municipality and Bitou Municipality, for boldly and publicly rejecting Eskom’s latest application. I too reject this application in the strongest terms and am calling for it to be scrapped as a matter of urgency.
