June 30, 20232 yr CoJ have published their tariff increases for 2023/4 See https://www.joburg.org.za/Documents/2023 Notices/2023-24 FINAL TARIFFS.pdf Summary: I've assumed the DSM has stayed the same as I can't find a reference to it in the PDF. Let me know of any errors.

It's been discussed amongst my neighbours that COCT charge a lot more per kwh, but do they charge R1019 in flat fees per month? Edited July 5, 20232 yr by Bobster. Punctuation

Fortunately I am on eskom and currently pay a flat rate on PAYGO of between R2.38 and R2.50 depending where I buy. So not too much difference between capetown and JHB on PAYGO anyway.

I don't think many people have 80A connections.

I think my home is typical of CoJ suburbs. For 60A you pay R949.19 fixed fees per month. The R240.56 per month Service Charge is for reading your meter. I've updated the XLS with the 60A and 80A fixed fees to make it clearer. TIPS: I recommend CoJ ratepayers switch to pre-paid as it's cheaper, better control and no bill shock and simple to top up with banking app Switch to pre-paid before getting Solar as you may encounter difficulties switching afterwards. On pre-paid always purchase a few kWh per month to prevent being disconnected due to no usage. Edited July 6, 20232 yr by system32

The circuit breaker in the DB board is 63A. The circuit breakers into/out of the SunSynk are 50A. Last I checked Landis+Gyr prepaid power limit level i014 it reported ~18.4kW is ~80A (can't confirm right now as it's load shedding) Edited July 6, 20232 yr by system32
