Energy experts say the Free Basic Electricity policy needs to be reviewed going into the future

. This comes as the country celebrates National Energy Month.

In 1994, about 2. 5 million households were electrified. And through the electrification program, over 8. 3 million households have electricity across the country to date. However, there are still communities that are not catered for. And a majority of those reside in the informal and rural settlements.

The Department of Mineral Resources and Energy says the goal post to ensure that all South Africans have electricity continues to move. This is because the number of households continues to grow. This has led to a backlog to electrify households to be around 3.1 million. “Access on its own is meaningless if it’s not affordable and so you know, you pay and have the best schools but if people can’t afford the fees and that you have to pay the fees or else you can’t go to school, it doesn’t help to have the best schools if it’s just not affordable.
