A report by the South African Cities Network on the state of city finances for 2018 has revealed that several major cities have seen a serious decline in revenue from power every time Eskom hikes prices.

Another knock on effect of this is that cities no longer have a revenue surplus from selling water and electricity to cross-subsidise other services. Another interesting part of the report was that it recommended that metros look into sourcing some of their power from independent power producers .
