概要
 As of Nov. 6, South Africa had gone 539 consecutive days without load-shedding, as Eskom's plant availability rose to 68.16% and its diesel bill fell 79%. Private power is arriving at a record pace, but tariffs are up nearly 9% and, further north, Kariba's water for power in 2027 has been cut by more than a third. This episode follows Southern Africa's power recovery and what could test it. What we coverSouth Africa reached 539 consecutive days without load-shedding on Nov. 6, 2026, a streak that began May 16, 2025 (Eskom). In 2023, the worst year, there were close to 7,000 hours of load-shedding by late November (Engineering News).Eskom's energy availability factor was 68.16% from April 1 to Nov. 5, 2026, up from 63.21% a year earlier; average unplanned outages fell from 16,167 MW to 9,092 MW over three years, and diesel spend fell 79% to R1.26 billion (Eskom).About 102,551 Eskom customers were still under 'load reduction' as of Nov. 6, down from about 1.69 million; Eskom targets ending it by March 2027. Tariffs rose 8.76% for direct customers from April and municipalities were set to raise prices by an average 9.01% from July (EWN).1,920 MW of independent power entered operation in the first half of 2026, a half-year record; 2026 could reach about 4,123 MW against the previous full-year record of 1,472 MW in 2016 (UCT Power Futures Lab). The wholesale electricity market missed its April 2026 launch target.Lake Kariba held 36.68% of usable storage on Oct. 14, up from 12.75% a year earlier, but the Zambezi River Authority cut the 2027 allocation for power to 23 billion cubic metres from 36 billion, citing El Niño and a below-normal rainfall forecast.
