	Eskom: Human Capital Investments
		Eskom, the South African Government's electrical utility, is in the process of evolving from an environment characterized by central government planning to one marked by more competition and expansion.
		Eskom is currently increasing its use of technology to reduce some administrative tasks, allowing HR professionals to focus on more strategic issues.
		Eskom now has the data needed to engage executives and people at every level of the organization in order to energize the company as they move forward into a new, exciting era.

	Focus 25 - electricity crisis (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		Eskom, seeking to recover the nearly R1 billion it said was owed by Soweto residents in unpaid electricity bills, sent in special squads to cut off electricity from households judged to be too deeply in arrears.
		The central feature of the settlement proposed by Eskom and the participating government authorities is to place 50 per cent of the outstanding debt of householders in a suspense account, unless they are "registered pensioners", in which case 100 per cent of their arrears is placed in the suspense account.
		Susan Chapman, of Eskom, cites the number of defaulting household heads who have successfully negotiated with Eskom for reconnections; she presents it as evidence that the settlement is winning substantial support from formerly defaulting consumers.

	Focus 19 - Eskom (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		Specifically Eskom set itself the employment equity target that 50 per cent of all management, professional and supervisory staff should be fl by the end of this year.
		Eskom uses a system of key personal indicators setting targets and parameters for performance, but inevitably there is still a strong element of subjectivity in the rating of individual performance.
		At Eskom coloureds and Indians are regarded as fl and in practice the fl quota was often boosted by appointing large numbers of coloureds, Indians and sometimes Africans from foreign countries.

	R30bn Eskom windfall on cards
		Meanwhile, Eskom chief executive Allen Morgan told I-Net Bridge this week the group had set an electrification target of 600 000 new homes over the next three years on top of the 1.75-million it electrified in the six years to the end of 1999, eventually leaving an estimated 75% of homes in SA electrified.
		Eskom Generation is by far the largest of Eskom's regulated operations and the only one suitable for significant privatisation, as the distribution of electricity is set to move under government control and transmission remains a "natural monopoly".
		Eskom is likely to retain its monopoly over generation while it is running at overcapacity, currently estimated at between 5 000MW and 8 000MW.

		Eskom is now planning for 50-year lifetimes for the nuclear units, which began operation in 1984/1985.
		Eskom has decided to follow EDF's practice of bringing all the units in its PWR series up to the safety level of the series youngest unit, and if possible, to the level of more recent series.
		Eskom ultimately plans to export the technology and hopes to build 10 to 20 PBMR plants around the world each year, creating an industry that would employ nearly 60,000 people and bring important investment to South Africa.

	COSATU Submission on the Eskom Conversion Bill, Presented to the Public Enterprises Portfolio Committee, 9 May 2001
		Eskom should remain exclusively in state hands, and government should exercise its mandate to ensure that Eskom’s universal service obligations are met.
		The Eskom Conversion Bill is being introduced in the context both of the broader restructuring of the electricity sector (to be discussed further below) and processes around the restructuring of state assets in general.
		The question as to whether Eskom should be taxed requires detailed investigation and it would be premature for parliament to pass this aspect of the proposed legislation without the benefit of detailed research on this matter.

		Eskom is likely to appeal against this increase as it is below the expected average consumer inflation for next year of some four percent.
		Underlying its request for an 8.5 percent increase is Eskom's argument that its average prices need to increase from 2004 onwards in order to fund the new generation capacity required by the country in the future.
		Eskom also argued that an increase in current electricity prices will ensure that there would not be any significant increases in average prices when this new capacity comes on stream.
