Wetility’s free municipal grid reliability tool points to stark differences

Solar energy company Wetility has released a free-to-use interactive lookup tool that allows anyone to search their municipality and view a detailed electricity outage profile, including average duration, monthly trends and how their area compares with the national average. South African households experienced an average of six to nine grid outages a month in 2025 and more than 91 000 unique outages were recorded during the year, the company says.
