News24 Business front pageMinister of Electricity Kgosientsho Ramokgopa says that the unbundling of Eskom and the establishment of an independent national transmission company remain top priorities for the government.

The roadmap for Eskom published by Minister of Public Enterprises Pravin Gordhan in 2019 proposes the splitting up of Eskom into three units: generation, transmission and distribution. The restructuring is an essential part of creating a competitive electricity market in SA, where multiple producers sell power to a single state-owned grid company.

Professor Anton Eberhard, director of UCT's power futures lab, said he understood that Eskom's generation was Ramokgopa's immediate priority. Market reform had to happen in parallel with efforts to fix Eskom. In particular, the transmission company must be established.
