Unplanned breakdowns could lead to load shedding on Monday, warns Eskom
"The system remains constrained and vulnerable, with generating plants performing at very low levels of reliability. With unplanned breakdowns at 9 100MW, the probability of load shedding remains, but will only be implemented if absolutely necessary," Eskom said in a statement.
"There is sufficient diesel for our open cycle gas turbines and water at the pumped storage schemes to supplement the shortage of capacity, if required." The power utility said the situation was being monitored closely and appealed to consumers to use electricity sparingly to reduce demand. Customers were also advised to check their loadshedding schedules on the Eskom or municipal websites.
