South Africa has once again been hit by a large scale rollout of load shedding.

Eskom, the supplier of 95 percent of South Africa’s electricity, has just appointed its 11th chief executive in the last ten years.

Many commentators are predicting that the load shedding means the country will enter a recession once Q4 GDP figures are released.

The South African Wind Energy Association said that current operating wind farms could add 500 Megawatts (MW) immediately to the national grid.
