Understanding Eskom Tariffs

Eskom uses a tiered tariff system where the rate increases as you use more electricity:

0 - 50 kWhR1.46/kWh
51 - 350 kWhR1.79/kWh
351 - 600 kWhR2.23/kWh
600+ kWhR2.68/kWh

Municipal rates may differ. Check your local municipality for exact rates.

Energy Saving Tips

  • Geyser: Install a timer or switch to solar. Geysers use 40-60% of household electricity.
  • LED Lights: Replace old bulbs with LEDs - use 80% less electricity.
  • Pool Pump: Run during off-peak hours and reduce runtime in winter.
  • Appliances: Unplug devices on standby - they still use power.
  • Cooking: Use a gas stove or air fryer instead of electric oven.
  • Solar: Consider solar panels and batteries for long-term savings.
