Eskom warns of possible Loadshedding
Eskom has warned that loadshedding
may be implemented at short notice should further capacity losses occur. Electrical
faults tripped five generating units at Kriel Power Station on Monday morning, as
a result it has removed 2 000MW from the system.
While some generation
units at other power stations are expected to return to service on Monday, these
will take time to load to full capacity. Should there be any further loss of
generation capacity during this time, or some units fail to return to service
as expected, loadshedding may be required to be implemented at short notice.

their teams are working hard to return as many of the units to service as
possible.
Eskom has urged South
Africans to continue using electricity sparingly especially during these
uncertain times on the power system.
