Eskom spokesperson Sikonathi Mantshantsha. says the utility and the eThekwini municipality are reviewing the situation
Eskom says the exemption from load-shedding for the eThekwini municipality, which was hit by devastating floods in April, could soon change as this was under review.
Eskom CEO André de Ruyter on Monday gave an update on the state of the system and challenges faced by the power utility. “We have 2,094MW out on planned maintenance. The total unplanned losses are sitting at 16,307MW, which is a very high number when we have demand expected for evening peaks,” he said.“It’s only a constraint we have during the peak. We can cope with demand during the day. We understand that after 5pm the effect on the domestic consumer is particularly pronounced and that is highly regrettable,” he said.“We are going to try measures to improve the performance of our generation systems.
