AFRICA “ What makes us unique is the full value chain we offer , right from generating the energy to delivering it to the customer ,” concludes Maritz . “ Unlike a lot of utilities companies who need to keep things cheap , we have the ability to innovate . We are in a country that is still developing , but we can do great things because we have a captive market .
“ We ’ re currently thinking about electric vehicles , on energy storage , and looking at what the competition is doing . We have such a lot of knowledge and expertise , and we will provide services worldwide if we can get it right . Africa is going to experience a lot of changes in the future , and that too will open a lot of opportunities for Eskom . We can always make a change , because we have great partners , and they will help us to deliver these things . In two or three years , it will be a different picture for Eskom and for Africa .”
