Sustained easing of Eskom load-shedding from 2024

In force Other

After the worst load-shedding period in SA history (2022–2023), Eskom's operational performance materially improved from March 2024, with sustained periods of reduced or absent rolling blackouts. Caused by improved Eskom operations, private-sector renewable-energy investment (rooftop solar, utility-scale independent power producers), and demand-side management. Not yet permanently eliminated but the operational backdrop for remote workers is dramatically improved.

Who it affects

All SA residents, with significant impact on home-based remote work feasibility.
