Eskom, South Africa's state power generation company, has achieved the milestone of 200 consecutive days without loadshedding (scheduled power cuts), highlighting the improved reliability and performance of its generation fleet. This achievement (on October 13) stems from the comprehensive Generation Operational Recovery Plan launched in March 2023, along with proactive planned maintenance, all supported by financial assistance from the National Treasury’s debt relief scheme. The last time South Africa enjoyed such an extended period without loadshedding was from 8 September to 11 December, 2020. Plan for additional 11,000MW by 2027 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=83CQyi789hw?si=mmUHvM2JDia3i7-Z Notably, this uninterrupted power supply has been accomplished with a significant reduction in the use of open-cycle gas turbines (OCGTs), which are typically employed to boost generation capacity during peak demand. Here’s to hoping for another 200 days of no loadshedding for the Rainbow Nation!

[His Excellency, President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR) has always believed that power generation was the root cause of Nigeria’s setbacks, and why he has been heavily investing in power generation and transmission. I remember vividly in 2019 when I sat with Asiwaju in the ball room and Otunba asked Asiwaju what goal he would be determined to accomplish as a president, it was a mood when Asiwaju turned to me and said, “Kehinde, I will give them electricity, I know how much my people can achieve with it at exponential levels” Asiwaju stood up and started walking towards the staircase . Otunba whispered to me, “that’s a man who knows the root-cause” |
