Joburg not excluded from load-shedding 'for now', says Eskom

“Eskom and City Power will continue searching for a lasting technical solution which would result in City Power customers in the City of Johannesburg being partially excluded from load-shedding.”

This comes after City Power entered into a power purchase agreement with the Kelvin Power Station, which will enable City Power to draw additional capacity to offset the first two stages of load-shedding. After signing the deal, City Power wrote to Eskom requesting to be excluded from load-shedding at Stages 1 and 2.

“Technical teams from both Eskom and City Power will continue to consider the technical aspects of the Kelvin Power Station and verify the additional capacity that can be added to the national grid. “The teams will also explore technical possibilities that may see City of Johannesburg partially shielded from load-shedding in future,” the statement read.

The mayor is campaigning and electioneering. Forgetting just like MSM ANC is responsible for this mess. Emphasize responsible for this mess not was but is.
