South Africa posts continuous improvements in electricity supply


JOHANNESBURG, May 6 (Xinhua) -- South Africa has recorded continuous improvements in its electricity supply, with 40 consecutive days without rolling blackouts, marking the best performance in the last two years, Electricity Minister Kgosientsho Ramokgopa said Monday.

Updating the media on the progress of the Energy Action Plan, Ramokgopa attributed the improvement in power supply to structural changes within Eskom, the country's power entity, which has recovered 1,000 megawatts compared to the same period the previous year.
