S&P Global Ratings has put Eskom's debt assessment on positive watch, meaning it may upgrade South Africa’s state-owned power utility. | News24_Business

The move follows the announcement last month that Eskom will receive R254 billion in debt relief from the government, the ratings company said in a statement on Tuesday.

S&P expects the move"will address Eskom’s near-term debt obligations once implemented and give Eskom room to focus on operational improvements and electricity-sector reform targets." S&P could raise Eskom’s CCC+ rating by one or more notches based on the expectation that the utility’s liquidity position will strengthen and that the risks of a near-term default event will reduce once the debt relief agreement is implemented.
