Eskom warns of return of loadshedding from Thursday

JOHANNESBURG - Eskom has warned there was a high possibility of loadshedding during the peak demand hours today as the power generation system remains severely constrained.

“One generation unit at the Tutuka power station tripped, while another one was taken off the grid, as well as a unit at Lethabo. Eskom has already started implementing “load reduction” in some parts of Gauteng with high illegal connections as this overwhelmed the grid. “Before we had the lockdown, we forecasted 31 days of Stage 1 loadshedding,” Eskom chief operations officer Jan Oberholzer said.
