South Africa passed 200 days of power cuts in 2022 on Tuesday, with more to come.
Eskom Holdings SOC Ltd. said it will ramp
up power cuts from
so-called stage-1 load shedding, where it
removes around 1,000 megawatts from the grid, to stage 3 from 4 pm local time until 5 am for the rest of the week. It will cut 2,000 megawatts from 5 am to 4 pm, the utility said on Twitter. Eskom has implemented record rotational blackouts this year because its old and poorly maintained power stations continually break down.
The energy shortages have dented investment and weighed on output.
