南非民主联盟要求全国讨论电费的升级, 理由是埃斯科姆公司在2025年提议增加36.15%. South Africa's Democratic Alliance requests a national debate on escalating electricity tariffs, citing a proposed 36.15% increase in 2025 by Eskom.
南非民主联盟(DA)要求全国就电费不断上涨问题展开辩论, South Africa's Democratic Alliance (DA) has requested a national debate on escalating electricity tariffs, which they argue are becoming increasingly unaffordable for many households. DA发言人Kevin Mileham警告说,国有电力公司Eskom提议在2025年提高36.15%的关税,这有可能使家庭在电力市场之外定价,并加剧能源贫困。 DA spokesperson Kevin Mileham warns that a 36.15% tariff increase in 2025 proposed by state-owned power utility Eskom risks pricing households out of the electricity market and increasing energy poverty. Eskom平均关税在2007年至2022年期间增长了450%,而通货膨胀增长了129%,导致14年来实际电价增长了4倍。 The average Eskom tariff increased by 450% between 2007 and 2022, while inflation increased by 129%, causing electricity tariffs to quadruple in real terms in 14 years.
