Eskom issues load shedding ‘high risk’ alert

Eskom has issued an alert for a high risk of load shedding “at short notice”.

The power utility has not implemented rolling black outs for at least 10 months owing to the implementation of the Energy Action Plan and Generation Recovery Plan.

Eskom Group Chief Executive, Dan Marokane, explained that there had been several breakdowns over the past week which may result in Stage 4 load shedding over the weekend.

“This is a potentially temporary setback. Load shedding is largely behind us due to the structural improvements in our generation fleet. However, over the past seven days, we have experienced several breakdowns that require extended repair times. 

“This has necessitated the use of all our emergency reserves, which now need to be replenished. Consequently, we are closely monitoring the status of our current emergency reserves, and load shedding up to Stage 4 may be implemented over the weekend,” Marokane said. – SAnews.gov.za
