The National Energy Regulator of South Africa (Nersa) has confirmed a 5.23c/l rise in the fuel price following its decision to grant Transnet a petroleum pipelines tariff increase for 2025/26, which will be followed by a 3.80c/l increase next year.

The tariffs are set for a period of two years, from April 1, 2025, to March 31, 2026, and April 1, 2026, to March 31, 2027.

In an updated media statement, Nersa said the increases arose following its approval of an 8.73% increase in Transnet’s allowable revenue to R7.84-billion for 2025/26 and of 5.71% to R8.3-billion for 2026/27.

“The pipelines tariffs are used by the Department of Mineral and Petroleum Resources as a proxy for the cost of transporting fuel from Durban to Johannesburg.

“In this regard, the fuel price will increase by 5.23c/l in the 2025/26, followed by a 3.80c/l increase in the fuel price in the 2026/27,” Nersa said in a statement.

It also stated that, had it granted increases in line with Transnet’s application, fuel prices would have increased by 13.34c/l this year and by 0.58c/l in 2026/27.

Nersa said a reasons-for-decision document would be published on its website once a determination had been made on the treatment of confidential information.
