In a statement, Eskom pledged a transition to mixed energy to increase its clean energy avenues by the year 2040. The agreement seeks to help businesses reduce their carbon footprint by following global sustainability standards, and in turn, enhancing market competition.

Dan Marokane, Eskom Group Chief Executive, said, “This is the next step in the focused execution of our strategy to integrate additional renewable energy into the grid, in line with global electricity industry trends for environmentally sustainable solutions that support broader decarbonisation objectives.

“We have seen strong interest in Eskom’s capabilities in green energy supply, which this programme demonstrated. Just over a year into our turnaround strategy, we are not only focused on ending loadshedding but are also pivoting Eskom into a sustainable and competitive company while ensuring security of supply through a customer-centric approach.”
