Eskom has launched a forensic investigation into an electricity theft racket involving the use of illicit tokens for prepaid meters.

Despite a 2024 financial year stained in red ink, Eskom’s financial performance is improving, chairman Mteto Nyati said.

It’s now been seven months – and counting – since the country’s last episode of load shedding.

Eskom has appointed veteran South African IT leader Len de Villiers as its CIO on a three-year contract.

South Africa has recorded the 200th day of constant electricity supply since Eskom halted load shedding in March.

Eskom said on Friday that gas-fired power stations will play a crucial role in the Just Energy Transition.

The recovery of South Africa’s two biggest state-owned companies relies on one common component.

Load shedding is unlikely this summer, and Eskom may be getting closer to announcing an end to the rolling blackouts.

South Africa has gone 150 consecutive days without any planned power outages, Eskom said at the weekend.

South Africa’s plan to expand its power grid, now the biggest bottleneck to replacing coal with renewables, has hit a snag.
