South Africa could dispose of some of Eskom Holdings SOC Ltd.’s coal-fired plants and allow households to sell electricity back into the grid as part of a restructuring of the state-owned power utility.
The stations could be sold through a series of auctions and would include related staff contracts, coal-supply contracts and environmental obligations, according to an economic policy paper the National Treasury released for public comment on Tuesday. The plan could raise 450 billion rand ($29 billion), the Treasury said, citing an independent study.
