Eskom launching enough solar and batteries to cover 6 stages of load shedding in South Africa

Eskom has launched a significant renewable energy initiative, aiming to deploy 6 GW of solar and battery projects – equivalent to covering six stages of load shedding in South Africa. This move is part of Eskom's broader strategy to diversify generation technologies and support the country's energy transition, with a focus on expanding access to cleaner sources of electricity. The selected partners will form a panel of prequalified co-development and co-investment partners for the next five years, paving the way for a more sustainable energy future.
