Dark days ahead for Eskom

[Daniel Puchert]

South Africa faces dark days

Eskom’s unplanned capacity loss factor has reached levels that the power utility warned would cause widespread load-shedding.

Last month, Eskom released its winter 2025 outlook, which provided guidance on the grid’s stability and expected load-shedding levels.

Loadshedding is actually better, but that will probably make people like you moan even more.

They didn't do well last year, they just ran the diesel generators 24/7, although I suspect they are close to doing the same now as well.
