Load shedding should ease by the weekend, Eskom says – but things remain unpredictable.
Stage 3: 05h00 until further notice
Unfortunately, when it comes to unplanned outages, units are proving to be unreliable and thus introduce high levels of unpredictability to the system. The first priority is the generation recovery plan, which involves protecting the three flagship power stations that are performing well, and focusing on building up the six underperforming stations which are struggling to maintain energy availability.
“We cannot afford to run out of funds for diesel,” Nyati said. “We are looking for ways we can have the funding because the open-cycle gas turbines are important, so we can reduce the stages of load shedding.”
