In my view, it is as a result of poor planning. The population has increased and demand has increased but infrastructure has not. It means those in power have not done enough in good time to increase capacity hence the load shedding. This is the same next door in Zimbabwe.

Amongst state capture theft we have thieving cadres working in the power plants, corrupt contractors creating breakdowns to ensure repair business, anc municipalities with a culture of non payment for power in excess of some R53bn. Then state owned entities like Denel, Transnet etc not paying for power, huge civilian tracts where people don't pay for power and in fact illegally connect to the power grid. The generators should be standby units but are keeping the grid alive at phenomenal cost. New plants such as kusile and medupi not functioning correctly due to design issues. The list is endless. The anc like all of Africa like to reinvent the wheel while wholesale theft goes on unabated at a breathtaking level. It's beyond mind boggling.

Just a tip guys.the Japanese have perfected the hydrogen fuel cell and the last time I looked..hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe..so maybe the csir should experiment or license the patent.

A well-maintained coal power plant can run for 50 years or so before needing to be replaced. They shouldn't need major work within the first decade unless something has gone terribly wrong during construction. Poor planning, partly caused by government refusal to build more generators in the 2000s, has ensured that demand far outstrips supply, and it will only come back into balance with massive (uncorrupted) investment over multiple years. Good luck with that.

If I recall correctly, it wasn't that long ago that SA was trying to "license"/ban solar, including "offgrid" setups, maybe that type of mindset might play a little (big) role in the current situation. As for the farmers, why's it so hard to move their thinking forward?!? Solar is literally down to less than a couple hundred USD per KW installed, batteries aren't much different. It's not hard at all. I appreciate SA's not super wealthy, but heck, how many hilux's are around the place!? Let's also change the way we farm, no need to continue in the same rape/pillage farming style of the past few thousand years. Smaller, more efficient, highly productive farms are what we need. Corruption doesn't control how we run our farms/businesses/renewables etc etc. We need to kill "the grid" asap and allow greater energy autonomy amidst our populations. My phone has no load shedding, power our houses by the same tech, a battery (lead acid, bricks hanging, pumped water whatever!!). We don't need a "transition", we need leap! Jump!
