Kasupe Radio Live Rising Tariffs, Smarter Power: Take Control of Your Energy Costs with EcoFlow
Written by Kradio on November 17, 2025
South Africans are paying more for electricity, and still not always getting it. With Eskom’s 12.74% tariff hike this year and another 8.76% and 8.83% increase approved for 2026 and 2027, power costs will have surged nearly 80% since 2022. Yet despite rising tariffs, load reduction remains a regular part of daily life for millions of households.
Against this backdrop, many households are looking for ways to take back control. According to recent estimates, families that switched to solar just three years ago have already saved hundreds of thousands of rand — proof that investing in reliable backup power pays off in more ways than one.
