Understanding the Eskom Crisis

Eskom, South Africa's primary electricity provider, faces persistent challenges including aging infrastructure, capacity shortages, and financial difficulties. This leads to **load shedding** (scheduled power outages) which significantly impacts the economy and daily life. This dashboard provides a conceptual overview of key metrics, helping to understand the scale and dynamics of the crisis.

Here, you can explore simulated data on load shedding stages, the balance between generation capacity and demand, and the underlying issues affecting energy availability. Our aim is to illustrate how a data-driven approach can provide clarity and support strategic interventions.
