Global solar power is doubling every three years

80 countries generated more than 50% of their electricity from clean sources in 2024, including 47 countries that reached more than 75%.

Low carbon energy sources now contribute more than 40% of global electricity production

Global solar capacity additions jumped 30% in 2024 - yet another record

Important reading from OIES “Finally, the renewable energy transition triggers profound system-level transformations that extend far beyond simple technology substitution. Traditional fossil fuel systems operated through well-defined boundaries, clearly demarcated

The availability of Eskom Hld SOC Ltd power generating units has averaged between 55-58% this year, way below their generation recovery plan. Diesel fired peaker and emergency plant have been running hard in recent days. More load-shedding / power cuts on their way in South Africa?

An initial response to this announcement that South Africa’s coal-based national power utility Eskom Hld SOC Ltd wants to start a renewable energy business might be positive but then these questions arise: 1.  With its highly indebted balance sheet, currently suviving on fiscal bailouts,

The performance of South Africa's national power utility Eskom Hld SOC Ltd improved last year, although it still has a long way to go. The availability of its power stations is currently down to 54% (with more than 13GW or 28% of its fleet broken on average). The utility remains also in

There have been five instances of loadshedding or power cuts in South Africa in 2025, which demonstrate how tight the system is, with little headroom to absorb multiple power unit failures. 13 GW are currently broken. When an additional 2GW fail, we get stage 2 loadshedding

Each time Eskom Hld SOC Ltd cuts our power (this is the 5th bout of load-shedding this year), the narrative is undermined that South Africa’s national utility alone can restore supply security. Energy minister Dr Dr Kgosientsho Ramokgopa needs to complete the breakup of Eskom by establishing an

South Africa’s national power utility Eskom Hld SOC Ltd has not improved its performance since last year: 28% of its power plant is broken, last week totaling 14 095 MW - above its self-imposed limit of 13 000MW beyond which loadshedding becomes likely. Compared to last year, it’s

Given these cost increases, it's hard to understand the hype around small modular nuclear reactors (still in development, with none yet available commercially). South Africa's energy minister Dr Kgosientsho Ramokgopa is also punting SMRs but says he is informed by science,

South Africa’s national power utility Eskom Hld SOC Ltd still has a long way to go to improve its performance. More power units are broken and offline (28% of its power generation fleet) than the equivalent period last year and it’s burning more expensive diesel in its emergency OCGTs to

The picture that “baseloadists” just don’t get. This is what a modern power system looks like: maximize cheap solar and use batteries and natural gas to meet evening peaks The Economist

South Africa’s power system is severely constrained and further breakdowns could lead to more power cuts. Eskom Hld SOC Ltd has more than 45GW of installed generation capacity yet less than 29GW is available to meet demand, now rising above 28GW. More than 14GW is broken, above Eskom’s
