Eskom unbundling process

Eskom CEO André de Ruyter says he hopes to revise his initial timetable for the unbundling of Eskom and accelerate the process of splitting the company into three parts. Business Day reports that unbundling Eskom into standalone subsidiaries for generation, transmission and distribution is seen by the government as the key to the utility overcoming its operational and financial difficulties and restructuring the energy sector. Energy commentator Chris Yelland discusses this.
