The beleaguered power utility Eskom may be forced to back down on its claim that construction company Stefanutti Stocks was overpaid to the tune of R1bn for the Kusile power project and instead find itself liable to pay Stefanutti R1.14bn.

In June 2020, Eskom alleged that it had overpaid around R4-billion to various contractors involved in the construction of the 4,800MW coal-fired Kusile Power Station. The overpaid amounts were broken down into R1-billion each for Stefanutti, multinational ABB, and Tubular Construction Projects, with another R735-million to Tenova Mining and Minerals and another R180-million to “various site service contractors”.

Stefanutti and Eskom entered into an interim arrangement in February 2020 to appoint independent experts to determine the causes, duration and to quantify all delay events up to 31 December 2019. They agreed that the Dispute Adjudication Board would then issue a final, binding decision, which Eskom and Stefanutti would abide by.

Stefanutti anticipates that it will submit the remaining claims relating to commissioning costs and interest to the experts in the new year and that the adjudication board will issue a binding decision during the second quarter of 2023. Both Eskom and Stefanutti will still have the right, at that point, to issue a notice of dissatisfaction and refer the dispute to arbitration.
