Load shedding will be eased this weekend – check your schedules here.
Power utility Eskom says it will ease load shedding once again this weekend due to lower anticipated demand.
Breakdowns are currently at 17,392MW of generating capacity while the generating capacity out of service for planned maintenance is 2,940MW. In the same period, a generation unit each at Camden and two generating units at Arnot power stations were taken out of service due to breakdowns. Outages are current tracking uncomfortably close to the ‘worse-case scenario’ in Eskom’s latest winter outlook, where it said it will have to keep unplanned outages below 18,000MW to avoid stage 8 load shedding.
