In July of 2021, the National Energy Regulator of South Africa (NERSA) issued a decision whereby municipalities including the City of Cape Town are recommended to develop time-of-use and seasonal tariffs for electricity. This means that energy bills will be vastly different in winter compared to summer. Furthermore, energy bills may be drastically different based on the time of day when the units were consumed.
