Hahn & Hahn Attorneys is pleased to share a recent success in resolving an electricity billing dispute on behalf of one of our clients, highlighting our commitment to protecting our clients’ rights and ensuring fair administrative action.

The matter involved a farmer operating within a mid-sized municipality who had been incorrectly billed under an industrial electricity tariff. This tariff was not only inapplicable to the client’s operations, but also significantly more expensive, resulting in inflated charges over an extended period.

Acting on our client’s behalf, we lodged a formal dispute with the Municipality, challenging both the incorrect application of the tariff and the historic charges that had been levied as a result.

Following constructive engagement with the Municipality, a favourable outcome was achieved:

*The client’s electricity tariff has been corrected to an appropriate Time-of-Use tariff going forward;
*The Municipality has confirmed that electricity supply will not be disconnected, provided that the client continues to pay for current consumption.

This resolution provides the client with immediate financial relief and ensures continuity of operations, while safeguarding their right to have the historic charges fully reviewed and, where applicable, adjusted.

This matter underscores the importance of scrutinising municipal accounts and taking prompt action where discrepancies arise.

Hahn & Hahn Attorneys remains committed to assisting clients in navigating complex municipal disputes and securing fair, lawful outcomes.
