Eskom has announced that it has taken control of Ekurhuleni’s load shedding as of Tuesday, 24 July, because the city failed to load shed its customers, putting strain on the grid. Eskom says it has taken control of load shedding in all substations that were previously handed over to the city to manage. The decision follows a period of monitoring and analysis indicating that Ekurhuleni had not been reducing its electrical load as required in terms of an agreed code of practice.
“Although Eskom notes the CoE’s technical challenges in executing load shedding, it is left with no choice but to implement load shedding for the CoE as the non-compliance puts further strain on the already constrained national grid,” Eskom says in a statement.
