Saturday,
13 April 2019: Eskom’s Chief Operating
Officer, Mr Jan Oberholzer, has been appointed onto the Board of Directors of
the Electric Power Research
Institute (EPRI).
A seat on this Board gives Eskom direct
access to some of the most cutting edge energy research available,
and offers the company a position to influence EPRI’s strategic direction and
work programme.
EPRI conducts research and development related to the generation, delivery and
use of electricity for the benefit of the public. EPRI’s international
participation extends to more than 30 countries, including South Africa.
“We
wish to congratulate Mr Oberholzer on his appointment as part of the Board at
EPRI. This gives him an opportunity to further serve the broader energy
industry over and above his responsibility of serving Eskom and South Africa,”
said Eskom Group Chief Executive, Phakamani Hadebe.
