The Nelson Mandela Bay Council has revised the current status of domestic customers participating on the Roof Top Solar Programme and has approved a new time-of-use tariff to be charged to domestic customers in the 2016/17 financial year as follows:
- Monthly basic charge: R60.00
- Energy: Peak – 1.750 c/kWh
- Energy: Standard – 1.700 c/kWh
- Energy: Off-peak – 1.250 c/kWh
Council has made provision for Winter and Summer Tariffs which, at present, are both the same.
