Eskom’s unplanned outages averaged 14,738 MW over the last week, well above its base case of 13,000 MW for the 2025 winter period.
This was revealed in an update on Eskom’s system on Friday, 13 June 2025, in which it showed the latest performance data.
Eskom said its power system remains stable and continues to demonstrate resilience, with adequate emergency reserves in place.
It added that these emergency reserves are strategically deployed to support demand during the morning and evening peak periods.
While there has been no load-shedding in recent weeks, Eskom is dangerously close to a breakdown threshold at which point it said it would likely have to implement load-shedding.
