Disconnect between power generation, delivery growing – report
While State-owned Eskom on March 13 said it had achieved more than 300 consecutive days without needing to implement loadshedding, a milestone reflecting a real and hard-won recovery in generation performance, a new national dataset indicates that, while loadshedding has receded, the lived experience of unreliable power has not. The ‘Wetility 2025 Energy Resilience Report’, based on real-time telemetry from a national network of solar and battery systems, recorded 91 934 unique grid power outages across South Africa in 2025.
