High risk of further loadshedding as Eskom repairs faulty facilities
By Paul Burkhardt
(Bloomberg) – Eskom Holdings, which supplies almost all of South Africa’s power, said it’s undertaking long-overdue repairs at its facilities amid a high risk of nationwide outages, and it expects supply to improve later this year.
The debt-stricken state utility has implemented electricity rationing – known locally as load-shedding – on 19 days so far this year after record blackouts in 2020. That followed years of underinvestment in new capacity and a failure to maintain its plants, a number of which are past or approaching their retirement date – problems Chief Executive Officer Andre de Ruyter has been trying to rectify.
