Mission

Government aims to achieve universal access to electricity by 2014. Meeting the future universal access programme requirements is dependent on the availability of funding from DME via the INEP. Eskom will continue to engage with DME and other key stakeholders regarding the planning, funding and other requirements needed to achieve universal access.
 

Activities

Electricity is a necessary and important input to all economic activity, and in particular is important for realising national socio-economic objectives. The consequences of operating a power system with a limited reserve margin became apparent in January 2008 when Eskom was forced to introduce emergency load shedding. Investment in electricity generation infrastructure is a necessary precondition for sustained economic growth. Fundamentally, new investments in other sectors can only proceed if the future supply of electricity is secure.
