Loadshedding But Pravin Gordhan said... 🤔
Public enterprises minister Pravin Gordhan said at an electricity briefing last week that if all went according to plan, there would either be no load-shedding - or stage 1"at the most" - provided that Eskom's turnaround plan was implemented"110%".Group chief executive of Eskom, Phakamani Hadebe, said on Monday:"We have an extensive winter plan and review of our power system, and have identified the problems.
"We have mapped out scenarios that show that we will implement load-shedding in cases where unplanned breakdowns increase to more than 9,500MW, delays in returning units from planned maintenance or in cases of unanticipated disruptive events." Hadebe said the first few days of April had given"reassurance of the integrity of our plan as we managed to avoid load-shedding on three days where it was forecast due to good performance of our plant".
"We managed to go through periods of high demand in the evening peak without using a lot of diesel,” he added. Eskom expects to gain additional power over the next two months from generation units that have been out for planned maintenance.
