Dr Jarrad Wright, CSIR Principal Engineer and Joanne Calitz, CSIR Senior Researcher

The South African economy and public have been directly impacted by the national load-shedding that resulted in disruptive electricity supply curtailment and blackouts. The CSIR has performed in-depth analysis of the South African power system to assess the extent to which load-shedding is expected to continue, the magnitude thereof, and most importantly, the options and solutions to reduce and mitigate load-shedding. The webinar will provide a scientifically informed perspective of the likelihood and extent of load shedding over the next three to five years, and provide some practical options for the mitigation thereof.
