Johannesburg residents have been given some relief after power utilities Eskom and City Power reached an agreement to resolve their long-running electricity debt dispute.
Earlier this year, Eskom threatened to cut power to the City of Johannesburg and City Power over an unpaid bill of R4.9 billion, plus R1.4 billion in current charges.
City Power however had consistently disagreed with the amount. It claimed Eskom had over-billed by more than R3.4 billion, which led to the Minister of Electricity Kgosientsho Ramokgopa appointing the South African National Energy Development Institute (Sanedi) to compile a technical report on the matter.
