Eskom CEO Brian Molefe has told Parliament that the utility does not
expect to implement load shedding until April next year.
Molefe says Eskom will continue to supply electricity and to maintain
its plants with minimal or no load shedding.
He says maintenance of Eskom’s ageing fleet of power stations will be
stepped up during December, but lower demand over the holidays means power outages
will be unlikely.
Khulu Phasiwe, Eskom spokesperson explained that Eskom has been doing
maintenance without any load-shedding, and so far the last load-shedding was 87
days ago.
“The plan is to keep it that way.” Phasiwe said.
“If we don’t have any major breakdowns, we will not have load shedding
till next year.” Phasiwe concluded.
