THE Nelson Mandela Bay Business Chamber will be fighting to preserve jobs in the Bay when it opposes the higher electricity tariffs proposed by Eskom in Johannesburg today.
A delegation representing businesses in the Bay will be giving a presentation at the National Energy Regulator (Nersa) public hearings on Eskom’s selective reopener application for the third multi-year price determination at the Nasrec Expo Centre.
Nelson Mandela Bay municipal electricity and energy department head Silby Mathew will also be at the hearing, but only as an observer.
The business chamber will be objecting to the proposed increase on the basis that it will be detrimental to the sustainability and competitiveness of the metro and to job preservation in the region.
