Eskom is South Africa’s state-owned electricity utility and one of the country’s largest energy organisations. It was established in 1923 as the Electricity Supply Commission (ESCOM) to develop and coordinate the country’s electricity supply. The organisation later became known as Eskom.
Today, Eskom plays a central role in South Africa’s electricity system. Its operations cover the generation, transmission and distribution of electricity, with a large fleet of power stations supplying electricity to the national grid. Its generation portfolio includes coal-fired power stations as well as the Koeberg Nuclear Power Station in the Western Cape.
Eskom also operates and maintains much of South Africa’s high-voltage transmission network, moving electricity from power stations to distribution networks and large customers. Through its distribution operations, electricity is supplied to municipalities, businesses and households across the country.
The utility has undergone significant restructuring in recent years as part of efforts to improve operational performance, financial sustainability and reliability. Eskom’s former integrated structure has been separated into three operating entities: Eskom Holdings, Eskom Generation and Eskom Transmission, with the distribution function also being reorganised as part of the broader reform of the electricity sector.
Eskom remains a key institution in South Africa’s energy landscape, while the country continues to diversify its electricity supply through renewable energy, private generation and other energy-sector developments.
