Cabinet-approved policy replaces the 2008 framework. The headline mechanics: a mandatory 10-year Nersa price forecast (so heavy industry can underwrite investment decisions against a known price path), fully unbundled tariffs separating generation, transmission and admin costs, tariffs moving to cost-reflective pricing over 5 years, and free basic electricity for poor households rising from 50kWh to 200-300kWh/month. Ramokgopa also confirmed the number your audience will want: tariffs are up ~97% since 2007 against 150% inflation over the same period — so this is being sold as a correction, not just a rebrand.
