Power utility Eskom has announced that it has complied with a Supreme Court of Appeal ruling ordering it to release a range of historical energy supply and fuel procurement contracts to the organisation AfriForum under the Promotion of Access to Information Act.

The disclosure includes key agreements relating to independent power producers, coal supply and transport, diesel procurement, and electricity exports to neighbouring countries, with contracts that were active as at July 2022.

In a statement released to the media, the power utility said it had fully complied with the court order handed down by the Supreme Court of Appeal.

It said the release forms part of compliance with the Promotion of Access to Information Act following the court’s ruling, which compelled the utility to provide unredacted records requested by AfriForum.
