Eskom’s latest weekly system status report paints a bleak picture for the coming year.
The planned risk level is slightly better, indicating that South Africa will experience between Stage 1 and Stage 2 load-shedding for 27 weeks between now and September 2023.
Eskom’s data showed that the worst-case scenario would require 326 days of load-shedding over the 12 months. It recently changed its approach, having increased its outage assumptions by 1,000MW. It previously assumed that unplanned outages would average 12,000MW during the summer months.In this best-case scenario, South Africans can still expect up to 24 days of Stage 1 load-shedding.
