As South Africa this month celebrates 365 days without loadshedding, the Department of Electricity and Energy (DEE) is turning its attention to the challenges of load-reduction, supply security and electricity affordability. The goal now was to convert Eskom’s one-year achievement into lasting energy security through the addition of new capacity, grid expansion, stronger distribution networks and affordable supply, said DEE energy programmes and projects deputy director-general Thabo Kekana at the opening of Enlit Africa 2026 in Cape Town on Tuesday.
