Cape Town - Eskom does not have sufficient generating capacity to supply electricity to Zimbabwe, according to Public Enterprises Minister Alec Erwin

Giving a written reply to a parliamentary question on Monday, the minister told Lance Greyling of the Independent Democrats that because of the lack of generating capacity, no electricity has been scheduled for sale to Zimbabwe since July 2007.

"Eskom is entering into non-firm annual agreements with Zimbabwe which allows for the sale of power, by either party," Erwin said. "These transactions are concluded on a day-ahead basis subject to the availability of power. There is no obligation on either party to supply the other."

He told Greyling that neither the Zimbabwe government nor its power utility owed any money to Eskom for power supplied in the past.
