Oh wait, there is a solution… I wonder if the blackouts are a planned part of the decommissioning???

Eskom, South Africa’s national power utility company, plans to decommission 5,400 MW of electricity from coal generation by year 2022, 10,500 MW by 2030, and 35,000 MW by 2050 (IRP, 2019). South Africa’s contribution to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is ranked as high, and its per capita emission rate is higher than the global average. Energy demand within the country is expected to rise steadily and double by 2025, and this will have a significant impact on climate change. However, the country is currently facing an acute shortfall in terms of electricity generation capacity and hence Eskom has been forced to implement electricity rationing schedules. South Africa needs to add new generation capacity ASAP.
To help plug the electricity generation gap, Eskom is making land available close to its power stations, where there is sufficient grid capacity, for Independent Power Producers (IPPs) to lease and invest in renewable energy projects that can be implemented very quickly.
What are these morons thinking?? Real bad reporting …
