Eskom uses an inclining block tariff structure, meaning the more electricity you use, the more you pay per unit. Understanding these tariffs is key to managing your electricity costs.
Inclining Block Tariffs
Eskom divides residential consumption into blocks:
- Block 1 (0-350kWh): Lowest rate per kWh
- Block 2 (351-500kWh): Higher rate
- Block 3 (501-1000kWh): Even higher rate
- Block 4 (above 1000kWh): Highest rate
