Eskom considering disconnecting the City of Tshwane
Eskom has threatened to disconnect the City of Tshwane’s (CoT’s) power over an outstanding electricity bill of R1.6 billion. The utility said it was considering disconnecting the metro as one of the “necessary steps to secure the outstanding payment”.
“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,” the utility said in a statement on Tuesday, 23 August 2022.
“The City only paid R68 million to date, which did little to dent the massive outstanding balance on its electricity account.”
Eskom said it had “numerous” engagements with the metro’s management to ensure the full payment of the account.
“These actions have not yielded any results as the city has continued with the same pattern,” Eskom said.
