Eskom
Eskom is a South African public electricity utility that generates, transmits, and distributes electricity to over 45 million people across the country. It is the largest electricity producer in Africa, with a generation capacity exceeding 44,000 MW. Eskom's operations encompass a vast network of power stations, including coal-fired power plants, nuclear power plants, hydro-electric power plants, and renewable energy projects. The company plays a critical role in the South African economy, powering industries, homes, and essential services. However, Eskom has faced significant challenges in recent years, including aging infrastructure, financial difficulties, and operational inefficiencies, resulting in frequent load shedding (power outages) across the country. Efforts are underway to modernize its infrastructure, improve efficiency, and explore alternative energy sources to address these challenges and ensure a sustainable energy future for South Africa.
