Since the electricity crisis began in 2008, South Africa’s electricity prices have been skyrocketing while at the same time, load-shedding keeps getting worse and worse. From 2007 to 2022, our electricity tariffs increased by an unbelievable 653%!
We are now paying a lot more money for a service that’s much, much worse. So far, in the first quarter of 2023, we have experienced almost as many load-shedding hours as we did the entire 2022. Every day so far in 2023, the country has experienced 22.9 hours of load-shedding rotations a day, with the average South African experiencing 6.2 hours of load-shedding daily. Take a look at these 2023 stats...
26%
of each day in 2023 has been spent without power.
200
days of load shedding still predicted for 2023.
2,442
hours of load-shedding in first quarter of 2023.
35,000+
plus Mega Watts shortfall of power
for 2023.
The fact is
Load-shedding is robbing us of quality of life.
We have to accept the cold hard fact that the electricity crisis isn’t going to get better any time soon.
In fact, South Africans have gotten used to life with no power. We wake up in the morning to no electricity, we fight through traffic because robots are out. We live under pressure to get our work done before load shedding hits. Then we often arrive home to prepare dinner in the dark.
To make matters worse, many of the popular "solutions" sold to us are just complicated, confusing and unaffordable for the average South African.

Now imagine life without load shedding, life without all those frustrations and irritations. Imagine more peace, more productivity and most importantly - more quality of life.
