ESKOM'S OPERATIONAL RISK MANAGEMENT AND MEDUPI POWER STATION
PROJECT: AN IN-DEPTH ANALYSIS
1. INTRODUCTION
This report aims to analyze Eskom's operational risk events and their causes, and develop
operational risk profiles for the years 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023 using the Risk
Evaluation Matrix. It will also evaluate the changes in Eskom’s operational risk profile
between the different years, and assess the financial impact of operational risk events on
Eskom’s financial results for each year. Furthermore, the report will propose a strategic
planning process to improve Eskom’s 2023 operational risk management profile. Lastly, the
report will address concerns regarding the delay in completing the Medupi power station
and analyze the project concerning the causes for the delay and the controls implemented
by management to rectify the situation. It is important to note that the analysis will be based
on information and data published before 2024, and will primarily rely on Eskom's Terms
