MWITA-AF-2026-017 · Evidence B · P1
Eskom reports that FY2025 load-shedding fell to 13 days and 175 hours from 329 days and 6,367 hours in FY2024, while profit before tax returned to R23.9 billion.
What this does not establish
The improvement does not establish a completed energy transition, durable absence of load-shedding, lower customer costs, or economy-wide productivity gains.
Counterevidence & uncertainty
Profit also reflects tariff increases and other financial drivers; the system remains coal-heavy and operational performance can reverse.
What would change the reading
Track independently verifiable outage data, plant availability, tariffs, arrears, emissions, investment, and subsequent-year results.
