The National Treasury had approved an emergency bailout of R17, 6 Billion to Eskom following the failed loan payout.The Power utility is in dire straits after theNational Treasury had approved an emergency bailout of R17,6 billion to Eskom following the failed loan payout. However, Blom says the cash will do little to fix the massive problems at Eskom.

Last week, energy analyst and Managing Director of EE Publishers, Chris Yelland highlighted that the power utility has lost people with appropriate skills to run the organisation. “The loss of those skills is devastating to Eskom. It is important for Eskom to attract people with the right skills from within the country and abroad because solutions will not be found in textbooks but rather in the correct expertise,” Blom explains.. This after it was reported that Ramos had been appointed to lead the process to split Eskom into three separate entities – namely: generation, transmission and distribution.

Eskom challenges must be dealt with seriously. Power went 2hrs ago n i wonder if this is load shedding.

Analysis aren't facts. What will save Eskom then?
