Fuel prices set to rise following NERSA tariff approval

VAAL TRIANGLE - The National Energy Regulator of South Africa has approved an 8.73% increase in Transnet's allowable revenue for the 2025/26 financial year, resulting in a 5.23-cents per litre rise in fuel prices. A further 5.71% increase in allowable revenue for the 2026/27 financial year will lead to an additional 3.80-cents per litre increase. Nersa says these adjustments are aimed at supporting Transnet's efforts to enhance pipeline security and reduce fuel theft.
