Multiple municipalities risk Eskom power cuts as deals remain unsigned
Affected municipalities have until 1 September to conclude distribution agreements with Eskom or face possible supply interruptions.
Fourteen South African municipalities have until September 1st to sign a Distribution Agency Agreement (DAA) with power company Eskom or risk losing their electricity supply. As of now, none of the municipalities have signed such an agreement. These municipalities owe Eskom substantial amounts of money, and Eskom warned them in March that they might be left without power. Eskom has until September to reach a DAA with these municipalities, or they could face power cuts.
