Eskom, Outa face off in court over tariff increase
Loading player...
Power utility Eskom says it's ready to face the Organisation Undoing Tax Abuse (Outa) in court.
Outa will be seeking an urgent interdict in the High Court in Pretoria today to stop the implementation of a 9.4% electricity tariff hike. It says a 3,31 percent hike is more reasonable.
The increase, which has been approved by the National Energy Regulator (Nersa), is due to come into effect tomorrow.
Eskom spokesperson Khulu Phasiwe says he is not sure whether the interdict will be brought against them or Nersa.
