Citizens of the United Kingdom could soon relate to South African frustrations after it was announced that the UK government will be implementing national-wide scheduled blackouts as a result of a restricted gas supply.
The UK does not purchase its electricity from Russia directly, but from suppliers around Europe that do.The blackouts are expected to kick off during the harshest winter months in the Northern Hemisphere, namely January and February. Mirroring South Africa’s load shedding plan, the UK government plans for a series of three-hour blackouts, with regions of the UK taking turns to experience power outages.A schedule is also expected to be published soon, and while South Africa calls it ‘stages’, the UK will be calling it levels.
Meanwhile, President Cyril Ramaphosa has reiterated that resolving the Eskom energy crisis and putting an end to load shedding is one of the most immediate and pressing tasks of the African National Congress.South Africans are currently experiencing stage 4 load shedding, with areas experiencing four hours of power outages at a time.
