A South African court on Tuesday struck down some of the tariff increases granted to Eskom this year, saying the power utility had not followed the correct procedure when applying for a special claw-back, local media reported. National energy regulator (Nersa) in March allowed Eskom a total tariff hike of 9.4%, of which part was an interim increase for running expensive diesel generators to keep the lights on in Africa’s most industrialised economy.
