Load shedding: what caused it and why the lack of a permanent solution? - David Nicholls

The load shedding chaos, disruption and damage to the economy is again part of the daily South African experience and has been intermittently since 2007.

David Nicholls, a senior manager with Eskom for over 30 years, presented the technical, financial and political factors that underpinned decisions made in the 1990s, which led to the power crisis in SA since 2007. He also addressed the claim that the electricity crisis has caused the national GDP to be 25% less than it could have been if different approaches had been taken.
