Your editorial opinion refers (“Power costs too much for end-user to bear”, November 25).
Until all or at least most users pay, especially for marginal use above some possible base amount, costs will far exceed revenue.
Until all municipalities pay their outstanding debt, Eskom will remain unsustainable. Those who can or must leave the grid will do so, and the diminishing number of payers of scale will destroy the existing model of payers subsidising enormous numbers of nonpayers.
Eskom needs to address this issue urgently.
