English – The Conversation | South African court orders Eskom to disclose R70 billion coal and diesel contracts – why the ruling matters by Felix Dube, Lecturer in the Department of Public Law, University of Venda

South Africa’s Supreme Court of Appeal recently ruled that the country’s state-owned electricity utility Eskom must disclose its contracts with coal and diesel suppliers. This is a major victory for transparency in a sector that has long been marked by secrecy, financial instability and weak public trust.

Eskom generates about 90% of the country’s electricity, mainly through burning coal that it buys from South Africa’s coal mines.

Eskom spends R70 billion (US$4.16 billion) a year on coal and its transport alone but until now, its contracts with the mines have been kept hidden.

@engineeringnews_unofficial We have an aluminium smelter & a titanium one with long-term contracts to buy power from #Eskom far below market cost, i.e. subsidised by us all. The aluminium one *imports* its ore!
