Eskom on Monday shared the rationale for its average annual electricity increase application of 15 percent for three years (45%) made to the National Energy Regulator of South Africa (Nersa).

This was to stakeholders attending the Cape Town leg of the public hearings undertaken by the regulator that will be held across the country over the next three weeks.

Speaking to Radio Islam, energy expert Ted Blom says the hearings will determine the future for all South Africans.
