Real reasons load-shedding disappeared

• Load-shedding disappeared due to a combination of local electricity demand destruction and rapid uptake of self-generation.
• The rapid increase in self-generation capacity, driven by small-scale embedded generation (SSEG) and solar power paired with batteries, played a crucial role in reducing demand on the grid.
• The implications of this shift are significant, as it suggests that the issue of load-shedding was resolved at the demand side, rather than through improvements in supply, and highlights the potential for private generation to play a major role in addressing energy challenges.
