Eskom celebrates 36 days without implementing load shedding

Well, let’s celebrate together that we were able to utilize the service they sell 😂

thesouthafrican.com Eskom's Chief Operating Officer, Jan Oberholzer, says progressive maintenance work on defected plants has helped in avoiding load shedding.

[03/24/19]   Dear Stakeholder

Sunday, 24 March 2019: No loadshedding anticipated for the coming week due to the electricity system gradually improving. The improvement in plant performance, together with replenished diesel and water reserves over the last few days, as well as the increase of imports from Mozambique’s Cahora Bassa to 850MW, has positively shifted system performance.

The risk of loadshedding remains, as the system continues to be vulnerable. Loadshedding will only be implemented when absolutely necessary.
