Eskom has approached the North Gauteng High Court to challenge the energy regulator’s decision to grant it a lower tariff increase.
The utility says the lower tariff has left the company with a shortfall of R102-billion.
The National Energy Regulator of South Africa (Nersa) extended tariff increases of 9.5 percent, 8 percent, and 5.2 percent to Eskom over three years.

Eskom’s request for increases was opposed by business, labour and civil society in written and oral submissions to the regulator.
