In a presentation to lawmakers on Wednesday, Eskom indicated that it would not meet the unbundling timetable outlined for the vertically integrated power utility by the Department of Public Enterprises (DPE) in a policy paper released in October, titled a ‘Roadmap for Eskom in a Reformed Electricity Supply Industry’. In an update on the restructuring under way at Eskom, CEO Andre de Ruyter showed participants to the briefing a table outlining ‘Roadmap Deliverables’, which indicated that the final timeframe for the complete legal separation of Eskom’s generation, transmission and distribution businesses was still to be confirmed.
