Eskom implemented Stage 6 load-shedding, Stage 4 load-curtailment, and burnt diesel in 19 OCGTs on Monday and Tuesday.
Eskom appears to be on the verge of implementing Stage 7 load-shedding, with the power utility’s recent peak supply and demand figures painting a bleak picture.
If Eskom were to lose more generation capacity to breakdowns or demand increases further, the only lever it would have left to avoid grid collapse would be to increase load-shedding. However, with the maximum level of load-curtailment already in effect, Eskom may have little choice but to implement higher stages of load-shedding if further generation losses occur, with the next step up being Stage 7.
