No load shedding for the long weekend, says Eskom

Eskom announced that there won’t be any load shedding this long weekend.

In a statement, the ailing power utility said that it will use the lower demand opportunity to replenish the emergency generation reserves in preparation for the higher demand expected during January as economic activity resumes.

It added that during this period, Eskom will also continue to pursue increased reliability maintenance as planned.

It admitted that while this will put pressure on the generation plant, maintenance is necessary in order to improve power stations.

Furthermore, Eskom has urged consumers to use electricity sparingly, as what it says, the system remains, vulnerable and unstable.
