How the bills are worked out
Every figure comes from the decision NERSA, the energy regulator, made on each municipality’s tariffs for 2026/27, checked against the page it’s printed on. A bill adds up each charge on the tariff for a 30-day month: energy in blocks where the price rises with use, fixed charges per day or month, and VAT at 15% where the decision says its tariffs exclude it. Winter prices apply from June to August.
Some tariffs can’t be priced from a monthly total: time-of-use tariffs need your use by time of day, and some larger supplies charge for demand. The bill API prices those too, and works out the bill with and without solar panels.
