Expensive Electricity...

Over the last couple of years the South African electricity prices have been subject to numerous increases. The 2009 31% tariff increase will most certainly not be the last. Those increases made a lot of us wonder whether there might be options to purchase our electricity cheaper.

This September 10th Eskom chief executive officer Jacob Maroga announced another tariff increase which will come in to effect co longer than April next year.  Due to the pressure on the world energy market in combination with Eskom's financial shortages the electricity prices in the future are expected to only go one way... UP!
