# Eskom has received final payment from the City of Johannesburg and City Power, settling accumulated overdue electricity debt of more than 5.25-billion-rand in full. The utility says the city’s July 2026 electricity account, worth 1.86-billion-rand, will be paid by its 31 August due date. Eskom has consequently withdrawn its process to interrupt electricity supply. The utility spokesperson Daphne Mokwena says the agreement supports its financial sustainability and reliable electricity supply:
