The power utility is looking for over R22 billion to help keep the lights on.
The hearings started in Cape Town yesterday.
As expected, big business and unions, among others, have not taken kindly to Eskom's application to recover R22.8 billion.
If the National Energy Regulator of South Africa (Nersa) approves the parastatal's application, consumers can expect a tariff hike of over 16 percent.
Executive director at the Cape Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Sid Peimer, says there's a lack of transparency at the parastatal.
