R200 monthly fee applies to prepaid electricity customers, says City Power

'As of 1 July, Gauteng residents on Joburg City Power's prepaid meters will be charged a recurring R200 monthly fee.

City Power said the new fee was split into two - R70 for service charges and R130 for network capacity charges.

The fee is in addition to the 12.7% tariff increase which the utility also implemented on 1 July.

Johannesburg City Power said that it customers had not been contributing sufficiently to its service and capacity charges.

The utility said it was no longer sustainable for it to provide these services without charging.

City Power's general manager for pricing and tariffs, Frank Hinda, explained how this would work if a customer bought electricity for R200.' - Thabiso Goba, EWN
