Load-shedding could return in 2025 — energy expert

Warning over "end" of load-shedding

Energy expert Mohamed Madhi believes South Africa could see the return of load-shedding in 2025, even if Eskom sustained its improved performance.

Eskom's generation division unexpectedly boosted the average energy availability factor (EAF) of its power station fleet to around 60% in 2024, compared with roughly 55% in 2023.

Hang on it's not yelland or that other guy... Is this a new breed of energy expert who manages to say "anything could happen in the future".
Let me have a go.

We could have stage 6 by February

Load shedding will return, how else will Eskom justify their 20+% tariff increase?

Lies, loadshedding is only coming back after the elections.

Its why we need to switch from solar to solar, duh

2029???

2029???

Yebo, they are just stringing us along until then, as soon as we have voted, loadshedding is back.

Those sneaky buggers must be burning diesel up the yazoo

Loadshedding will return because people are moving from solar to solar.

 

[Dups!]

Wait, where are those who said after the elections, then October which translated to November, which finally was the end of the year?

That humble pie must not be tasting great, hey.

I have solar - I don't care.

As I read the first paragraph of the article I was wondering which renewable company he worked for.

Yeah they generally do

Honestly don't care anymore myself. The way I see it, we have 101 problems, but energy availability won't be a massive issue. Harming the economy. For decades. Ever again.

We won't see decades of economic hardship due to it ever again. Ruining the prosperity of entire generations. Oh a few months here. A few months there. And every single time there will be a strong uptick in solar and battery adoption. And each time Eskom's ageing, dirty, shitty fleet will be less and less relevant. And their threats will be more and more comical. And we'll benefit economically from that more, each and every time.

And glorious will be the day, when Eskom doesn't have the political leverage to dare to make a single rotten threat to the people of SA again. And the rights of people trying to be part of the solution will be enshrined in law - Their civility cherished - Like in some countries where it's already a legal right for anybody, even a renter in a flat, who decides to put some solar on their veranda, to plug it into their system and run the meter back. No questions asked. Just a right.
