We know load shedding is here to stay for at least the next two years, so in principle, it’s not the worst plan. So it’s certainly better than what we have experienced this month. Full editorial here➡️
At Eskom’s media briefing yesterday it was revealed that the power utility is pushing to implement a permanent stage two or three of load shedding for the next two years.We know load shedding is here to stay for at least the next two years so in principle it’s not the worst plan.
Out-of-the-box thinking where businesses could open or close later to accommodate load shedding could work. It’s not ideal, but if carefully managed – and scheduled ahead of time – business owners or households could plan better. But that can only work if Eskom sticks to their plan and doesn’t chop and change at short notice – something outgoing chief executive officer André de Ruyter says can’t be ruled out.
Eskom chair Mpho Makwana said: “The reality is that it will take two years to reach the desirable Energy Availability Factor at Eskom’s coal fleet.”
