Eskom is being replaced

• Eskom is not being replaced, but its share of electricity generation in South Africa has declined significantly over the past decade, now producing less than 90% of the country's electricity.
• The decline is attributed to the rise of non-Eskom energy generation, driven by load-shedding and households/businesses investing in rooftop solar to reduce reliance on Eskom.
• A fully liberalised electricity market, set to break Eskom's monopoly, is likely to result in huge new investments into electricity generation by private companies, further reducing Eskom's share.
