ESKOM: PROCESS TO APPOINT NEW COAL SUPPLIER TAKING LONGER THAN EXPECTED
Date: Jul 04, 2018′
Eskom says it’s still negotiating coal prices with several mining companies before bringing on board a new supplier.
The power utility has been experiencing coal shortages at some of its power stations in recent months.
However, it’s been diverting excess coal to the stations that are running low to ensure they continue operating.
Eskom’s Khulu Phasiwe says the process to appoint a new supplier is taking longer than expected.
