The power utility said it is exploring all avenues to recover the debt owed to it.
Eskom has revealed that the City of Tshwane’s debt to the power utility had risen to R1.9 billion as of 9 June 2023.
“The March 2023 invoice, which was payable on 19 April 2023, was short paid by R179 million, while the April 2023 invoice of R776 million, which was payable on 18 May 2023, remains unpaid.” “Eskom has engaged with the city on numerous occasions regarding its failure to settle the debt it owes Eskom,” it said.
“As Eskom’s cash flow challenges and the provisions of PFMA dictate, Eskom is accordingly exploring all avenues available to it to recover this debt including, but not limited to, approaching the courts for relief,” said Mnyani. “The CoT is in breach of the electricity supply agreement which it holds with Eskom by failing to pay the R1.6 billion which was due and payable on 17 August 2022,” Eskom said in a statement.
