Energy Analyst Lungile Mashele says that South Africa could be looking at higher stages of rolling blackouts as things get back to normal following the festive season shut down of industries.

“I don’t think anybody anticipated the 205 days, even if you look at Eskom’s estimates – they had told us that in winter already that worst case we are looking at about 100- days, and it was far more than that. We basically loadshed every other third day in 2022 and I certainly don’t think things are going to get better in 2023 either.

Meanwhile the energy analysts and researchers believe that the alleged attempt on outgoing Eskom CEO André de Ruyter’s life could make it more difficult for the power utility to find his replacement and further escalate the country’s energy crisis.
