What kind of profit does eskom make in the long run?

Eskom, South Africa's state-owned electricity supplier, typically operates at a loss rather than making a profit in the long run. Challenges such as aging infrastructure, mismanagement, and high operational costs contribute to its financial difficulties. While it aims to stabilize and improve its financial performance through tariff increases and restructuring, ongoing issues in the energy sector complicate achieving sustainable profitability. Thus, its focus remains on balancing supply and demand while ensuring financial viability.
