Eskom Hld SOC Ltd or Eskom (Afrikaans: Elektrisiteitsvoorsieningskommissie) is a South African electricity public utility. Eskom was established in 1923 as the Electricity Supply Commission (ESCOM). Eskom represents South Africa in the Southern African Power Pool. The utility is the largest producer of electricity in Africa, and was among the top utilities in the world in terms of generation capacity and sales. It is the largest of South Africa’s state owned enterprises. Eskom operates a number of notable power stations, including Matimba Power Station and Medupi Power Station in Lephalale, Kusile Power Station in Witbank, Kendal Power Station, and Koeberg Nuclear Power Station in the Western Cape Province, the only nuclear power plant in Africa.

The company is divided into Generation, Transmission and Distribution divisions, and together Eskom generates approximately 95% of electricity used in South Africa, amounting to ~45% used in Africa,[4] and emits 42% of South Africa’s total greenhouse gas emissions. By releasing 1.6 million tons of sulphur dioxide into the air in 2019, Eskom is also the largest emitter of sulphur dioxide in the power industry in the world.[9] In 2019, it was announced that Eskom was to be split up into three distinct nationally owned entities due to huge debts and poor reliability of supply.

At the 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference, a deal was announced for developed countries to fund South Africa’s transition from coal power to renewable energy. However, employment in the mining sector threatens this transition.

Eskom transforms inputs from the natural environment – coal, nuclear, fuel, diesel, water, and wind – into more than 90% of the energy supplied to a wide range of customers in South Africa and the Southern African Development Community (SADC) region. To balance electricity supply and demand in real time, the System Operator (soon to be the Independent Transmission and System Market Operator, ITSMO, as the Transmission business continues to legally separate) must maintain the frequency of the power system at 50Hz.

Eskom is one of the few remaining vertically integrated utilities connected to the Southern African Power Pool (SAPP) through an interconnected grid, which serves to support grid stability. Eskom relies on SADC members to maintain sufficient and reliable transmission grids in their countries.

The foundation of the business is the generation, transmission, distribution, and sale of electricity, supplemented with the construction of new power stations and network infrastructure. The Gx, Tx, and Dx Divisions rely on support in the form of finance, human resources, procurement, information technology, telecommunications, strategy, risk and sustainability, legal and compliance, and stakeholder relations. In support of the electricity business, Eskom Rotek Industries (a subsidiary) performs turbine and transformer repairs and provides specialised construction and transport services.

As a state-owned entity, Eskom must implement government policy and strategy. The Shareholder’s Strategic Intent Statement (SIS) outlines government’s short-to-medium-term and long-term objectives for Eskom to achieve. Eskom has adopted these SIS objectives to ensure that Eskom remains a critical and strategic contributor to government’s goal of ensuring security of electricity supply to the country, and enabling economic growth and prosperity.

Eskom Holdings SOC Ltd has the Government of the Republic of South Africa as its sole shareholder, with the shareholder representative being the Minister of Public Enterprises. As a public entity, it is governed by the provisions of the Public Finance Management Act 1 of 1999 (PFMA). The PFMA requires a company to conclude a shareholder compact with the shareholder representative. The shareholder compact has to contain shareholder expectations in the form of predetermined objectives and key performance indicators and ensures alignment between the Board and the shareholder representative. In addition, the PFMA requires that a company submit a strategic corporate plan to the shareholder on an annual basis, setting out its strategic objectives, with plans and targets to achieve those objectives.

Eskom commits itself to upholding its values and ethical standards and demonstrating this commitment to all its stakeholders. Therefore, Eskom’s directors and employees are required to apply the Code in their day-to-day activities, especially if there are no rules governing the decisions.

The Eskom Code of Ethics; ‘The Way’, reflects the organisation’s commitment to the highest ethical standards and principles in all Eskom business. It not only describes the acceptable behaviour and attitudes that are essential in living the Eskom values of Zero Harm, Integrity, Innovation, Sinobuntu, Customer Satisfaction and Excellence (ZIISCE), but it also establishes the foundation for the interaction of Eskom’s Board of Directors and employees with colleagues, customers, suppliers, shareholders, the environment, the public and other stakeholders.

Adhering to this Code is not optional; it is The Way we do business at Eskom, the Eskom Way.

Eskom is also committed to the fight against fraud, corruption, and other forms of economic crime, and irregularities and has established the Fraud Prevention and Whistle Blowing Policies. Eskom adopts a zero-tolerance approach to these activities, irrespective of whether they are committed in or outside the organisation.
