Eskom, the Electricity Supply Commission of South Africa, is a state-owned electricity public utility that generates, transmits, and distributes electricity to approximately 95% of South Africa's population. Established in 1923, Eskom is the largest electricity provider in Africa, generating nearly half of the electricity used on the continent. The company operates a vast network of power plants, transmission lines, and distribution infrastructure, playing a pivotal role in the country's economic and social development. Despite facing challenges related to aging infrastructure, financial constraints, and environmental considerations, Eskom remains committed to providing reliable and affordable electricity to South Africans.
