S.Africa Power Demand to Outstrip Supply This Week
South African peak electricity demand will be higher than the capacity available from Tuesday to Friday, the country's energy utility Eskom said on Monday, raising the likelihood of more power cuts this week.
The cash-strapped utility had earlier slashed 2,000 MW from the grid, widening controlled power outages in a bid to prevent demand from exceeding its capacity.
