… whereof 70% in proclaimed areas 2.9 million households with no access … Electrification – Still significant backlog of 2.5 to 2.9 million households (Eskom’s area of supply) Number of households without access to electricity1 Millions, 2011 Breakdown of households without access to electricity by area1 %, 2011Total: 2.5–2.9M 2.9 0.9 Unproclaimed areas Proclaimed areas 2.0 1. The figure is based on an assumed increase in households without access at a rate of between 2–5% per annum, from 2.3M in 2006. It is also in Eskom’s areas of supply.The certainty in these figures is low and checks will have to be done in the pre-engineering phase Source: Eskom
