Every person in South Africa is affected by the country’s economic infrastructure.
Therefore, indirectly, everyone uses electricity. However, there are direct users
who use electricity on a daily basis. Eskom categorises these in different customer
categories, namely:
- Re-distributors (Municipalities that re-distribute to their end-customers)
- Industrial
- Mining
- Commercial
- Traction
- Residential
- Agricultural
- Prepayment
Eskom generates, transmits, distributes and retails electricity – this means they
sell directly to businesses and the public, and also to municipalities, who then
sell to the public.
In South Africa, the biggest electricity users are businesses, industries and commerce,
followed by residential users.
