Eskom’s extraordinary turnaround

Eskom has reached a milestone in its ongoing recovery plan; it's something it hasn’t achieved for the past six years.

Eskom reached a milestone in its ongoing recovery plan, one which it hasn’t achieved for the past six years: topping 35GW of available generation capacity.

The utility achieved this figure on 23 July, and it was well above the evening peak demand on that day of 30.7GW. The last time Eskom had more than 35GW of available generation capacity was on 16 July 2018.

Load shedding has now been suspended for four consecutive months, and in the past seven days the utility exceeded an energy availability factor of 70%, marking a major turnaround from just a year ago.
