Pretoria — WHY UNBUNDLE ESKOM?
OUTA believes that a separation of control over the two arms of electricity generation and transmission will break Eskom’s stranglehold over the grid (transmission), thereby ensuring that open competition for energy generation at the lowest cost of production will reach the consumer, assuming political meddling is minimized which in itself may be a separate challenge. In short, this challenge is to reduce the costs of energy to the consumer.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF UNBUNDLING ESKOM?
OUTA’s complaint to the Competition Commission (CC) 20 February 2017, is based on Eskom’s abuse of its dominant position in the electricity market and its exclusionary acts.
