Eskom has announced that it is not will not implement load shedding on Thursday as the generation capacity has sufficiently recovered.
The ailing parastatal had implemented Stage 3
load shedding yesterday, due to a loss of generation units. In a statement, it
said that this week's rolling blackouts were necessary after several generating
units at its power plants broke down.
“Over the past 24 hours, Eskom teams
successfully returned our generation units to service, helping ease the
capacity constraints sufficiently to enable us to not require load shedding.
Another five units are expected to return to service during the next two days.’’
“Eskom would like to thank the people of South
Africa for their patience and support during the load shedding, which is
implemented as a last resort to protect the integrity of the system.’’ It added
The power utility urged consumers to use electricity sparingly as the system remains
‘’vulnerable and unpredictable.’’
