South Africa has been experiencing quite sever power shortage since 2023. As a result, the country has been carrying out strategic blackout, or load shedding, from time to time, to ease pressure on the failing power grid. It means that citizens may go through 6 to 12 hours without city electricity everyday.
The consequences of power outages can be particularly severe, impacting productivity, compromising essential services, and causing financial losses. Moreover, the added challenge of fluctuating temperatures, further intensifies the need for reliable power solutions.
According to recent forecast from Eskom, which is the power utility of South Africa, the country is likely to have a significant risk of load-shedding in the coming year, as the city power supply might be over 2000MW short to meet demand and reserves.
This prediction comes from Eskom’s Generation Adequacy Report for the medium term, which gives insight into the risk of load-shedding based on “planned” and “likely” risk levels.
The outlook covers the 52 weeks from 20 November 2023 to 25 November 2024.
