Load Reduction: Limited public data is available on the severity in Johannesburg, with many businesses experiencing prolonged outages due to lack of maintenance of distribution infrastructure.

Electricity Price Crisis: Eskom has applied for an 80% price hike over the next 2 years, this is likely to accelerate Eskom’s death spiral as businesses realise it is cheaper to get power from the sun.
