  There are two new updates regarding electricity supply in South Africa, both of them said to come into effect from January 2025.

The article from MSN discusses South Africa's new Electricity Regulation Amendment Bill, set to be implemented from January 2025, which aims to reform the electricity sector by introducing competition and enhancing the regulatory framework. This legislation will allow for a more open market, enabling private companies to generate, transmit, and distribute electricity, potentially reducing the monopoly of Eskom, the state-owned power company. The bill also establishes a Transmission System Operator to manage the grid independently. Amidst these changes, there are predictions about ongoing loadshedding, with experts suggesting that while the new act might eventually alleviate power shortages, the immediate future might still see significant power cuts due to Eskom's current operational challenges and the time required for new infrastructure and market adjustments. The article also touches on the political and economic implications of these reforms, highlighting the government's efforts to address the energy crisis amidst public and economic pressure.
