Mera spokesperson Fitina Khonje said last week the energy regulator issued a report on its activities from March 2021 to March which indicated that the country was supposed to have a 10 percent base tarrif adjustment based on the performance and against key indicators Mera had agreed on with Escom.<\/p>\n
