The power producer was aiming to recoup just over R27 billion. 


Eskom's Hasha Tlhothlalemaje says they were given the go-ahead by NERSA this week.

Tlhothlalemaje says the decision that NASA has made is a balanced decision of 13.3 billion with the 18/19 financial year, the year that has just passed.


"NASA will make a subsequent decision to basically pass this onto the tariff and the likelihood is that that process will only start on the fifth of April 2021, in the next financial year."
