The country's electricity supply remains “extremely constrained and vulnerable”, and the probability of load-shedding remains for the week ahead, said Eskom.

The country's electricity supply remains “extremely constrained and vulnerable”, and the probability of load-shedding remains for the week ahead, said Eskom.

However, progress in replenishing diesel for open-cycle gas turbines and increasing water levels at pumped storage schemes was made at the weekend. “Eskom wishes to remind customers that any unexpected shift, such as additional unplanned breakdowns or the unavailability of diesel for open-cycle gas turbines or water levels at pumped storage schemes, could result in load-shedding at short notice.”

“While synchronisation only provides intermittent power, this is a positive step towards achieving commercial operation and increasing capacity.”
