'It’s about time that we all use digitalisation to reduce our footprint.” - Eskom CIO Faith Burn.
Eskom is on a journey to regenerate its tech systems, to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions, as the power utility races to meet the objectives of the Just Energy Transition programme.
According to Burn, the power utility has made great strides in its evolution towards this transition, with technology being a crucial factor. “What that means is that on the defensive is the actions IT teams can take to reduce emissions, and we know that enterprise technology accounts for about 1% of greenhouse emissions.
As part of this journey, Eskom deployed the services of Huawei to “freshen up” its infrastructure, and as a result, has seen some savings in terms of IT cost, power usage, storage and infrastructure, she noted. Historically, electricity accounts for approximately 42% of national greenhouse gas emissions. In 2021, data analysis by the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Airthe state-owned energy utility was among the world's largest single emitter of sulphur dioxide, surpassing the entire power sector emissions of any country in the world, except for India.
