flag Eskom’s 2025 power reliability improved slightly but still falls short of targets, with coal plants frequently offline and grid risks persisting.

flag Eskom’s 2025 performance showed a modest improvement with an energy availability factor of 62%, up from 59% in 2024, but remains below the 80% target. flag Coal plants, which supply 84% of capacity, operated at just 58% availability, with half offline over 30% of the year due to unplanned outages. flag While some stations improved and diesel use declined, reliance on gas turbines persists, indicating ongoing grid fragility. flag Experts warn that despite recent stability, risks remain due to aging infrastructure, vandalism, and financial strain, with potential for future load shedding if reforms are not sustained.
