Electricity sector in South Africa

The South African energy grid has around 60,000 MW of capacity, but with Eskom''s aging fleet of coal power stations, the country faces constant rolling blackouts as they are unable to meet the energy demand. Coal Power Station make up 78% of the electricity grid, so the carbon intensity of electricity generation is higher than most other countries at over 800 gCO2/kWh.
