“It has become clear for business that if you want to carry on in South Africa, you have to become less reliant on Eskom — even if this means sacrificing long-term expansion plans in order to burn diesel — as hopes for a credible solution to the country’s energy crisis fade”

According to energy expert Chris Yelland, Eskom is currently implementing blackouts alternating between stage 4 and stage 5, after non-stop stage 6 has been implemented for weeks. Analysts have warned that the worse is still to come. South Africa is on the cusp of an energy emergency, with a shortfall of capacity as high as 10,000MW due to critical failures at Eskom’s power stations and the national government’s failure to get more generation onto the grid as mentioned previously.
