In 2022, South Africa will surpass 200 days of power outages, with more to come

Tuesday, December 27, 2022 was the 200th day of power outages in South Africa in 2022, with more to follow.

This represents 55 percent of the year’s days.

Bloomberg reports that Eskom has instituted rotating blackouts this year due to the constant breakdown of its aging and badly maintained power stations.

Energy constraints have impacted investment and production.

WEEKLY POWER CUTOFFS WILL CONTINUE THIS WEEK

Eskom generates insufficient revenue to pay its operating costs and interest expense, leaving it dependent on state subsidies for survival.

Last week, departing CEO Andre de Ruyter warned that the outlook for next year’s power supply is extremely tight, and that blackouts will continue until an extra 4,000 to 6,000 megawatts of generating capacity is added to the grid.

In the meantime, according to The South African website, Eskom will maintain Stage 2 and Stage 3 load shedding until at least Friday of this week.
