Eskom is seeking to recover R23.9 billion through tariffs, but the Energy Intensive Users Group, of which Sasol and mines like Anglo American and Sibanye Stillwater are part, say the power utility should not be granted more than R1.1 billion.
"… The application by Eskom also suggests that Eskom still feels entitled to its allowable revenue even though Eskom's poor performance is a significant contributing factor to lower consumption and sales," the application read.
"The fact of the matter is that although there are always external intervening forces impacting any business, and possibly even past bad operational choices, it is the role of management to mitigate such challenges and take business forward, rather than blaming external forces or the past. Eskom's poor strategic choices cannot forever be made a burden for consumers," Mondi said.The EIUG also highlighted inefficiency in Eskom's fuel use.
