INVITATION TO SUBMIT PUBLIC INPUTS ON BERGRIVIER MUNICIPALITY'S ELECTRICITY COST OF SUPPLY STUDY AND PROPOSED TARIFF STRUCTURES FOR 2026/27

In terms of the AFRIFORUM NPC court rulings of 4 December 2025 and 20 February 2026, municipalities must submit their 2026/27 electricity tariff application to the National Energy Regulator of South Africa (NERSA) by no later than 31 March 2026.
All municipal electricity consumers within the Bergrivier Municipal Area are hereby invited to submit inputs on the 2026/27 electricity tariffs to Elsabe Kankowski at kankowskie@bergmun.org.za by no later than 30 March 2026 at 15:00.
Bergrivier Municipality will then, on 31 March 2026, request the Municipal Council to approve the Electricity Cost of Supply Study in order for it to be submitted to NERSA.
This process is important as it will enable NERSA to consider and determine the Municipality’s electricity tariffs for the 2026/27 financial year.
NERSA will conduct public participation on the proposed tariffs during April 2026, and conclude on 21 April 2026.
