Johannesburg - South Africa's power utility Eskom expects the World Bank to make a decision on a loan programme of up to $5bn in the first half of next year, a senior company official said on Monday.
Earlier this month the World Bank said on its website that Eskom had applied for the initial 3 tranches of the loan, amounting to $3.75bn, to fund projects at its Medupi power station as well as renewable energy and low-carbon energy efficiency programmes.
"The target is still $5bn but at this stage our loan application thus far is $3.75bn. The steps that we are in at the moment is that the World Bank has published the loan application and they invite comments from stakeholders," a senior Eskom official said on Monday.
"We would expect that the decision would be coming through, we hope in the first half of next year, but it still is a long time to go."
