Overstrand Council approved the electricity tariffs on 31 May 2022. The new electricity tariffs will come into effect on 1 July 2022.
The new electricity tariff scale are as follows:

•    350 kWh @ R1.79 (1.7879) = R625.77 or 0 - 350 units = R1.79 per unit
•    250 kWh @ R2.68 (2.6788) = R669.70 or 351 - 600 units = R2.68 per unit

Kindly note, this has not yet been approved by the National Energy Regulator of South Africa (Nersa).

UNDERSTANDING HOW THE ELECTRICITY BLOCK TARIFFS WORKS

Overstrand Executive Mayor, Dr Annelie Rabie, welcomed over 120 delegates to the Overstrand Investment Conference in Hermanus yesterday, 23 June 2022.

She expressed her excitement to showcase what the Municipality has to offer to investors, business people and estate agents.

The investment conference is part of the Council’s three C’s of objectives or strategic interventions and include Communication, Crime Prevention & Law Enforcement and Cost and Ease of doing business with Overstrand. The Cost and Ease of doing business with the Municipality resonates under Mayco Member of Investment and Infrastructure, Councillor Clinton Lerm.

“An event of this calibre is a great opportunity to exchange learnings and experiences with each other. If you are planning to invest in the Overstrand, it is important that you understand the good, the bad and the ugly,” said Mayor Rabie.
