Ramokgopa moves to ease power cost burden

Electricity Minister, Dr Kgosientsho Ramokgopa, says the high cost of electricity is undermining the competitiveness of industries, and eroding households' disposable income.

Ramokgopa says he is convinced that the revised electricity pricing policy will help address the hidden costs associated with electricity prices, and reduce the burden on consumers.

He has addressed the media in Pretoria on the new measures that will be published for public comment on Friday.
