The recent increase in load shedding is due to interventions from Eskom – which could exacerbate the energy crisis during the rest of the year.

Electricity Minister Kgosientsho Ramokopga says that increased planned maintenance has intensified load shedding in South Africa, with further outages possibly on the way.

Although the Minister acknowledged that the increase in maintenance will intensify load shedding, he said that it is paramount that generation units that need maintenance be taken offline. He added that this unplanned maintenance has kept unplanned outages below 15,000 MW, which is lower than the 17,000 MW in May.
