Power utility,Eskom, cautioned that it might have to implement load shedding at short notice should it experience further generation unit breakdowns.
Eskom spokesperson Sikonathi Mantshantsha said: “The
power system is under severe pressure due to a number of generation unit
breakdowns which will necessitate and increase utilisation of emergency
generation reserves,”.
“Should there be any further breakdowns, Eskom might
be forced to implement load shedding at short notice.While Eskom expects a
number of units to return to service from breakdowns during the course of the
next few days, the Power Utility urges the public to reduce the usage and to
continue using electricity sparingly to assist in avoiding load shedding,” added
