Unlikely chance of load-shedding
“While Eskom is making every effort to limit load-shedding, it could be implemented at short notice should there be a significant shift in plant performance.”
Eskom has not implemented rotational load-shedding today.
In a statement released last night, Eskom said the power system, however, remains tight and vulnerable.
“While Eskom is making every effort to limit load-shedding, it could be implemented at short notice should there be a significant shift in plant performance.”
The power utility company said this could include a significant loss in generating plant due to unplanned technical breakdowns.
“We continue to appeal to residents and businesses to use electricity sparingly during this period.”
“Please switch off geysers as well as all non-essential lighting and electrical appliances to assist in reducing demand.”
Eskom said it would continue to provide regular updates about the state of the power system through the media.
