💨 Abstract

The City of Cape Town secured a major legal victory against the National Energy Regulator of South Africa (Nersa). The High Court ruled that Nersa's public participation process for 2025/26 municipal electricity tariff applications was invalid, enforcing strict new timelines for annual tariff determinations. This decision aims to prevent delays and ensure transparency. Mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis praised the ruling, stating it will benefit municipalities and residents nationwide.
