COMMENTARY ON INTERIM RESULTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2023

Summary

Eskom, South Africa's national power utility, is struggling with persistently low plant availability, which has resulted in an increase in loadshedding frequency and intensity. This operational challenge is compounded by financial strains due to high production costs from expensive open-cycle gas turbines and declining sales volumes. To address this, Eskom is undertaking extensive plant maintenance and receiving significant debt relief from the government, which has helped improve its liquidity and credit ratings, though the core operational issues are still in progress.
