Prepaid electricity users will fork out more for electricity after City Power announced an increase in the residential tariffs by 14.59%.
The power utility says the increase is in line with NERSA guidelines
City Power says customers consuming 350kWh per month will pay R75.61 more for electricity while those using 350kWh or less will be paying R1.70/kWh compared to R1.48/kWh for the previous financial year.
It says the total charge has increased from R518.32 to R593.92 excluding vat.
City Power says tariffs are increased annually and considers factors that include increase allowed to Eskom as bulk supplier, and inflationary adjustments to City Power operating cost.
