Despite failing to hit its energy availability factor (EAF) targets, Eskom has managed suspend load shedding for almost two weeks – here’s how.

Despite Eksom’s energy availability factor sitting at a 20-year low, South Africa has experienced almost two weeks without load shedding – which an energy analyst says is simply a result of declining demand and not by the grace of Eskom.

Against a target of 65%, Eskom’s actual EAF for the 2024 financial year was 54.68% – missing its goal by just over 10 percentage points. EAF is a core performance metric for Eskom because it is directly linked to load-shedding. When the EAF declines, less power is available, which typically leads to load-shedding.

Load shedding and low reliability of Eskom and municipal grid electricity are negatively impacting electricity supply.
