Eskom launches new ‘system status’ portal in bid to begin bolstering transparency

South Africa’s electricity utility Eskom has added a new page to its website through which it is providing information relating to the status and performance of the power system, including the use of load-shedding as a mechanism to stabilise the national electricity grid. The webpage, which bears the prosaic title ‘System status and other related data’, is updated every 24 hours.
