Sol Plaatje (Kimberley) electricity tariffs, 2026/27
Every approved electricity tariff in
Sol Plaatje Municipality for 2026/27, from the schedules the
municipality and the regulator publish. All rates on this page include
VAT at 15%.
The home tariff here charges per amp of supply; estimates assume a 60 A single-phase connection. The regulator's 2026/27 decision leaves Sol Plaatje's basic charges blank, so that year's estimate carries only the per-amp charge, and the city's own 2026/27 budget raises domestic rates by 5.5% rather than the approved 8%, so bills may come in lower than shown.
