Eskom's code red
The risk of load-shedding between September 2022 and September 2023 is remarkably high, according to Eskom's likely risk scenario for the year ahead.
The outlook — which covers the 52 weeks ending mid-September 2023 — shows that Eskom could likely be more than 2,001MW short to meet demand and reserves during 49 of the 52 weeks. This works out to 94% of the year.
