ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

Summary

Eskom, South Africa's primary electricity supplier, faces severe challenges including widespread loadshedding due to a 4,000MW to 6,000MW capacity shortfall and long-term financial instability exacerbated by high debt and municipal non-payment. In response, Eskom is implementing a Generation Recovery Plan, participating in the President’s Energy Action Plan to improve generation fleet reliability, pursuing significant cost savings, and benefiting from a R76 billion government debt relief package. While loadshedding temporarily ceased in March 2024 due to improved generation, the power system remains unpredictable, and financial sustainability initiatives are in progress but yield mixed results, particularly with ongoing municipal debt non-compliance.
