De Ruyter previously estimated that up to R1bn a month was being stolen due to corruption at Eskom.
Eskom has subsequently cancelled coal supply agreements and construction contracts valued at R11bn as authorities crack down on crime, reported Bloomberg.
Litigation by Eskom has also had coal supply agreements worth R3.7bn declared invalid, and other coal and construction deals worth R10bn have been set aside, President Cyril Ramaphosa said in a July response to a question submitted by an opposition lawmaker in parliament.
