New statistics released by the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) Energy Centre show that South Africa added only 100 MW of additional utility scale renewable-energy capacity in 2019, despite supply-side constraints and an intensive period of load-shedding. In fact, the report describes 2019 as one of the worst on record for load-shedding, with 1 359 GWh of rotational cuts implemented and with Eskom having taken the unprecedented step of declaring stage 6 load-shedding, or 6 000 MW of simultaneous cuts, on December 9.
