André de Ruyter behind lower load-shedding — economist

Economist Roelof Botha argues that the current load-shedding respite is a result of André de Ruyter’s work at Eskom .There are many theories about the uninterrupted power supply, which include that it is an election ploy by the ruling party and that Eskom is burning more diesel.

He promised South Africa that load-shedding would be significantly lower from September 2021. However, what followed was a rapid increase in power cuts. Despite the increased load-shedding under De Ruyter, Botha said the strategy executed under his leadership is to thank for the current load-shedding-free period.

Energy analyst Chris Yelland said unplanned breakdowns were consistently lower in the first 16 weeks of 2024 than in the same period last year. Yelland said the higher EAF trend this year is mainly attributable to the corresponding reduction in planned maintenance outages .
