Eskom CEO Andre de Ruyter said the ongoing outages are necessary to catch up with long overdue maintenance.He told the Cape Town Press Club the power utility is preparing for an uptick in demand to pre-lockdown levels early next month.
“It is likely we will have an increased risk of load-shedding going forward. I think there is a risk of load-shedding always in the system given the lack of predictability, reliability, the lack of maintenance that was not done.De Ruyter thinks Eskom has been doing a good job of managing the demand peaks and keeping the lights on.
