# The National Council of Provinces will consider the Appropriation Bill and the Eskom Debt Relief Amendment Bill today. The two bills were adopted by the National Assembly last week. The Appropriation Bill provides for the appropriation of funds from the National Revenue Fund for the 2025/2026 financial year. The Eskom Debt Relief Amendment Bill introduces interest payments on loans provided to the power utility, instead of the original interest-free loan structure. The NCOP needs to approve the Appropriation Bill to pave the way for the finalisation of the budget process.
