There have been 3805 hours of loadshedding in 2023
The utility says that it is hoping to bring unplanned maintenance down to 15 000MW. The utility has managed to bring the average of unplanned maintenance down from 15 870MW to 15 157MW.
“For the first time, we are beginning to go below 15 000MW. We have registered multiple instances where we have gone below the 15 000MW of unplanned capability lost factor, which is an illustration of the degree to which improvements are made, and we are able to keep that consistent over a period of time,” Ramokgopa toldThe outlook for loadshedding and the ongoing energy crisis then, is not as grim as it was a few months ago.
It’s comforting to see government working to address the energy crisis but we aren’t calling this a win until loadshedding looks like it did in 2016 and 2017. That’s to say, non-existent.
