Eskom finalising public-private partnership plan for 5-gigawatt clean energy project

# Eskom says five-gigawatts of repowering projects across six coal sites are underway, with two-gigawatts set for rollout by 2026 via public-private partnerships. Group executive Bheki Nxumalo says these form part of Eskom’s Just Energy Transition strategy to add 20-gigawatts of clean power by 2040. The projects, featuring solar, battery and gas, aim to decarbonise while driving socio-economic growth. Eskom says blended finance and strong governance will be key to unlocking investment.
