Informational Purposes Only

CheckMyWatts is provided as an informational tool to help South African residents estimate whether they may be paying more than the official municipal electricity tariff. The results provided by this tool are estimates only and should not be considered as definitive proof of overcharging or as professional advice.

Data Accuracy

While we make every effort to ensure the accuracy and currency of the tariff data used in our calculations, we cannot guarantee that:

• All tariff information is current and up-to-date
• The data reflects the most recent tariff adjustments by municipalities
• Special tariff arrangements or exemptions are accounted for
• All municipalities and their tariff structures are included
• Fixed charges, service fees, or other costs are accurately represented

Verification Required

Users are strongly advised to verify all rates and calculations with their municipality or electricity service provider before taking any action. The official tariff schedules published by your municipality are the authoritative source for electricity pricing in your area.

Not Legal Advice

CheckMyWatts does not provide legal advice. The complaint documents generated by this tool are templates only and should be reviewed and customized as appropriate for your specific situation. We recommend consulting with a legal professional if you have questions about your rights or wish to pursue formal legal action.

Third-Party Data Sources

CheckMyWatts uses data compiled from various public sources including municipal websites, official tariff schedules, and publicly available databases. We do not control these sources and cannot be held responsible for errors or omissions in the original data.

Sub-Metering Considerations

If you receive electricity through a sub-metering company, additional service fees may apply that are not reflected in the municipal tariff. These fees should be clearly disclosed by your sub-metering provider. CheckMyWatts compares only the per-kWh rate and does not account for all possible service fees or charges.

Changes to Tariffs

Electricity tariffs can change during the financial year due to NERSA approvals, municipal budget adjustments, or other factors. The tariff data in CheckMyWatts may not reflect the most recent changes. Always check with your municipality for the current applicable tariff.
