Headquarters of Eskom, Megawatt park, north of Johannesburg. Eskom generates approximately 95% of the electricity used in South Africa and approximately 45% of the electricity used in Africa.
Eskom, South Africa’s state-owned electricity supplier, has issued a strong reminder to prepaid customers to settle their outstanding accounts promptly to avoid potential fines or even criminal charges.
The utility has emphasized that customers who fail to pay their prepaid accounts may face legal consequences, including penalties or prosecution.
This move is part of Eskom’s broader strategy to address financial challenges and ensure the financial sustainability of the power grid.
Prepaid customers are urged to monitor their accounts closely and make payments on time to avoid disruptions in service or legal repercussions.
Eskom’s latest directive underscores the importance of financial responsibility as the utility continues its efforts to recover revenue and maintain a stable power supply.
In addition to these penalties, Eskom is likely ramping up efforts to curb non-payment, which has been an ongoing issue affecting the utility’s financial health.
