Eskom pleads with South Africans to save electricity as load-shedding resumes on Thursday

Eskom said it has lost additional capacity overnight with breakdowns of more than 14,000MW.

“Our emergency reserves are also insufficient to meet the demands during the day. As a result, we have to load-shed throughout the day, until tomorrow.“We will give South Africans regular updates about our prognosis for tomorrow and our recovery efforts for the rest of the week leading into the weekend.”

Load-shedding is an essential and controlled measure to ensure that the integrity of the grid is not compromised, added Eskom.
