State-owned power utility Eskom has issued a tender seeking a service provider to drive the Komati power station socioeconomic development plan to assist with the transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy. Part of the plan includes the management and implementation of mitigation measures for the socioeconomic impacts resulting from the shutdown of the coal-fired generating units at Eskom's Komati power station. The last of the coal-fired units at Komati reached its end of operational life in October 2022 and was shut down.
