City Power is in talks with Eskom to reduce the length of load-shedding slots in Johannesburg.
The power-distribution utility in South Africa’s commercial capital is in talks with the state electricity company to reduce the duration of outages in the city of more than 5 million people.
“What we are working on is a plan to cushion our customers from the frequency of load-shedding,” Mangena said, using the local term for power cuts. The blackouts cost the economy 300 billion rand last year, or about 5% of gross domestic product, the company said in a briefing this month.
