The Department of Electricity and Energy's Revised Electricity Pricing Policy 2026 remains open for comment until Wednesday, 28 October, after Minister Kgosientsho Ramokgopa extended the window in Gazette 55436. The policy, first gazetted on 28 August (GN 7852), replaces the 2008 framework written for a vertically integrated Eskom monopoly. It is meant to set cost-reflective, unbundled tariffs for a market with separate generation, transmission and distribution, and to keep affordability protections for vulnerable users. Email comments to Joseph Maraba at EPP.Comments@dee.gov.za, or deliver them to Matimba House, Pretoria. The same notice extends comment on the Electricity Sector Market Transformation Position Paper to the same date. The PMG call opened on 22 September.
