In response to media reports regarding State-owned utility Eskom's revenue application for the 2025/26 financial year, the National Energy Regulator of South Africa (Nersa) says, while Eskom has submitted a draft revenue application to Nersa for guidance on the regulatory process, the regulator has not yet received Eskom's final application for consideration.

The regulator explains that, once the final application has been submitted, it will consider the application and diligently adhere to its regulatory processes.

These processes include publishing the application on the Nersa website, conducting a thorough public participation process that involves inviting stakeholder and public comments and conducting public hearings.

“Nersa remains committed to upholding its regulatory principle of transparency and serving the best interests of all stakeholders,” it says.
