Eskom’s transmission arm has once again compensated for its other businesses that continue to perform poorly.
While Eskom has reported a significant profit for the first half of the 2025 financial year, this is only due to its transmission business, as its generation and distribution arms continue to perform poorly.
This is nothing new, as transmission was also the state utility’s saving grace when it reported its results for the same period ending 30 September 2023. It has predicted a R10 billion profit by the end of the 2025 financial year, implying that its losses for the latter half of the year will be capped at R7 billion.
Eskom’s remarkable turnaround, which has seen the country go 309 days without load-shedding, has been described as a “great performance” by energy expert Chris Yelland. EAF shows the percentage of time power stations were available for use when needed. It is a core measure of performance for any power utility.
