Eskom and The South African Electrification Program (C) Case Solution

Spendingaround$400 million per annum to supply 1.75 million South African households with electricity by 2000, Eskom had to forfeit an additional $300 million because of consumers' nonpayment for service. The firm also faced increasing operational costs as an effect of consumers' tampering with their electric connections.
