Eskom is planning for electricity generation shortages of no less than 1,000MW every week over the next three months.<\/p>\n

This is according to a report in Rapport.<\/p>\n

The newspaper also stated that Eskom is pushing ahead to increase electricity tariffs by 15% in 2021.<\/p>\n

This follows a recent High Court case<\/strong><\/a> which determined that the energy regulator had made mistakes in its revenue and RCA decisions over the last few years.<\/p>\n

The substituted decision made by the court addressed an incorrectly deducted amount of R69 billion from the multi-year price determination (MYPD) which determines Eskom\u2019s electricity prices.<\/p>\n

These tariff hikes come as South Africa heads for its worst year of load-shedding yet.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

While managing to keep the lights on during South Africa\u2019s initial lockdown period, increased economic activity has driven up energy demand.<\/p>\n

Repeated generation unit breakdowns over the last few weeks has subsequently necessitated load-shedding on a regular basis.<\/p>\n

Rapport also provided a breakdown which showed that Eskom has planned for regular electricity shortages up to the start of December.<\/p>\n

This will result in Stage 1 to Stage 3 load-shedding being implemented every week until the holiday period at the end of the year.<\/p>\n

Online portal<\/h3>\n

The news follows Eskom recently launching an online porta<\/strong><\/a>l which gives users the ability to view its power system status and other related data.<\/p>\n

This followed requests from OUTA to Eskom to make its system performance information publicly available in a user-friendly format.<\/p>\n

Among the information available is the projected hourly average demand over the next three months, which is shown in the graph below.<\/p>\n
