South Africans have not had to worry about charging batteries and flat cellphones for more than three months.
It has been 100 days since Eskom last implemented load-shedding, signalling marked improvement in generation and financial performance.
The last time the country had such a prolonged period without load-shedding was from September 8 to December 11, 2020. “Considering the intensity and the levels of load-shedding in 2023, the ability to get to 100 days without load-shedding is significant, while acknowledging that the risk of load-shedding still exists,” says Eskom group CEO Dan Marokane.
Targeted initiatives have led to a gradual reduction of unplanned losses on Eskom’s generation fleet, from 18 000MW to an average of 12 000MW, an improvement of 6 000MW since May 2023.
