By working closely with the operational units, ERID is able to understand the organisational challenges and to pro-actively respond to find both short- and long-term solutions.

Given the current Eskom challenges, it was agreed that for the coming year, resources would be focused on:
  • generation capacity, asset management and plant performance
  • transmission capacity, asset management and plant performance
  • distribution asset management and plant performance
  • demand-side management and energy efficiency
  • coal quality and coal combustion
  • renewable energy sources
  • climate change
  • safety, health, social and environment
  • accelerated development of the underground coal gasification project
  • clean coal technologies
  • HVDC (high voltage direct current lines)
