flag Eskom reports first profit in eight years, driven by reduced load shedding and government reforms.

flag President Cyril Ramaphosa announced Eskom’s return to profitability for the first time in eight years, reporting a R23.9 billion pre-tax profit in 2025, up from a R25.5 billion loss the previous year. flag He credited the turnaround to coordinated government efforts, improved operations, reduced diesel use, and the National Energy Action Plan launched in 2022. flag Load shedding dropped to 13 days in 2025 from 329 the prior year, and Eskom saved about R16 billion. flag The utility will invest over R320 billion in infrastructure, including 14,000 km of new transmission lines, supported by structural reforms from the Electricity Regulation Amendment Act. flag Despite progress, rising municipal debt arrears—up 27%—remain a challenge.
