I-Eskom

I-Eskom iyinkampani yomphakathi kagesi yaseNingizimu Afrika.Yasungulwa ngo-1923 njenge-Electricity Supply Commission (ESCOM) futhi yaziwa nangegama layo lesi-Afrikaans i-Elektrisiteitsvoorsieningskommissie (EVKOM).I-Eskom imele iNingizimu Afrika e-South African Power Pool. I-utility ingumkhiqizi omkhulu kagesi e-Afrika, futhi yayiphakathi kwe-utility eziphezulu emhlabeni ngokuqondene namandla okukhiqiza nokuthengiswa, kodwa kusukela lapho iye yehla kuzo zombili izigaba.Iyinkampani enkulu kunazo zonke ezingezehulumeni zaseNingizimu Afrika.I-Eskom isebenzisa iziteshi eziningi zamandla kagesi eziphawulekayo, kufaka phakathi i-Matimba Power Station ne-Medupi Power Station eLephalale, i-Kusile Power Station eWitbank, i-Kendal Power Station, kanye ne-Koeberg Nuclear Power Station e-Western Cape Province, okuwukuphela kwesikhungo samandla enuzi e-Afrika.

Le nkampani ihlukaniswe ngezigaba ze-Generation, Transmission and Distribution, futhi ndawonye i-Eskom ikhiqiza cishe u-95% kagesi osetshenziswa eNingizimu Afrika, okwenza u- ~45% osetshenziswa e-Afrika, futhi ikhipha u-42% we-greenhouse gas yaseNingizimu Afrika.Ngokukhipha amathani ayizigidi ezingu-1.6 esibabule-dioxide emoyeni ngo-2019, i-Eskom iphinde ibe umkhiqizi omkhulu kakhulu we-sulfur dioxide embonini yamandla emhlabeni.Ngo-2019, kwamenyezelwa ukuthi i-Eskom yayizohlukaniswa ibe yizinhlangano ezintathu ezihlukile zikazwelonke ngenxa yezikweletu ezinkulu nokungathembeki kahle kokunikeza.

Engqungqutheleni Yenguquko Yesigaba Sezulu YeZizwe Ezihlangene ka-2021, kwamenyezelwa isivumelwano samazwe acebile sokusekela ngokwezimali ukuguqulwa kweNingizimu Afrika kusuka emandleni amalahle kuya emandleni avuselelekayo.Kodwa-ke, umsebenzi emkhakheni wezimayini usongela lolu shintsho.
