Government will publish its evidence-based case for 5.2GW of nuclear power at the end of November.

Draft rules would bar trading bots from South Africa’s new wholesale electricity platform at launch.

The unbundling now has advisers, a timetable and, at last, agreement between Eskom and business.

Eskom’s profit more than doubled to R30.3-billion, but electricity sales fell 6.2% and municipal arrears passed R111-billion.

Electricity theft and unrecognised municipal revenue together exceed the utility’s entire annual profit.

Eskom and BLSA now say they agree on the independent transmission operator, two months after a public falling-out.

Eskom has secured the government approvals it needs to establish Eskom Green as a wholly owned subsidiary.

Eskom CEO Dan Marokane has said new electricity trading rules are close and that the utility is tooling up to trade.

Telkom fought to keep its network and South Africa lost a decade. Eskom risks making the same mistake.

The fight over who owns South Africa’s transmission grid has burst spectacularly into the open.
