Power shortages expected in Western Cape next week

Measures to prevent electricity shortages are continuing in the Western Cape in light of expected power shortages next week. Eskom says the anticipated 400 mega watt shortages are due to the plan to shut down Koeberg Unit Two to allow for annual refuelling and maintenance outage. Eskom CEO Thulani Gcabashe has urged consumers in the province to continue to save electricity and thanked businesses, organisations and individuals who pledged to help and support Eskom in the drive to conserve energy.
