    South Africa's state-owned power company Eskom said Friday that Eskom will receive an additional 900 megawatts of power
    from Mozambique after power lines damaged by Hurricane Idai are restored.

    Eskom supplies more than 90 percent of its electricity in South Africa but has suffered repeated failures at its coal-fired power stations, including two new, large, underperforming power stations
    .

    The situation worsened
    on Saturday after Eskom lost electricity imported from Mozambique's Cahora Bassa hydroelectric system.

    Last week, Hurricane Idai hit Mozambique's Beira, a low-lying port city of 500,000 residents, last week when strong winds and torrential rains continued before moving inland to neighbouring Zimbabwe, inundating some villages and homes
    .

    South Africa's power shortages led Eskom to implement nationwide blackouts for eight straight days by Friday to prevent the national grid from collapsing
    .

    Goldman Sachs said on Thursday it expected a severe planned blackout to shave South Africa's first-quarter GDP growth rate by 0.
