JOHANNESBURG, Feb 2 (Reuters) - South Africa's Eskom will use coal from Glencore GLEN.L , South32 S32.AX and five other suppliers to power the Arnot power station, including Exxaro Resources EXXJ.J with whom it did not renew a 40-year contract in December, the utility's spokesman said in a Twitter post on Tuesday.

The short-term supply agreements are separate from the list of bidders for the new long-term contract, the outcome of which Eskom said it will announce before the end of the first quarter of this year.
Eskom listed lesser-known Tegeta, Keaton Energy, Hlagisa Mining and Umsimbithi Mining as the other short-term suppliers to the 2,100 MW Arnot plant.
