There is little likelihood that South Africa’s electricity constraints will ease materially even after the first Medupi unit has been introduced. In addition, a tariff hike of nearly 12.7% has been approved for introduction from April 1, 2015, with a possibility of more hikes, despite a recent government bail-out of Eskom. So, sadly, electricity’s squeeze on economic growth is set to continue for some time yet.
