Power utility Eskom has warned that it might be forced to implement load shedding at short notice following a loss in generating capacity and a slow return of generating units to operation.
The group said in s statement on Tuesday , that should load shedding be implemented, it will take place at stage 2 during the evening peak of 16h00 and 00h00. This could happen over the next three days, it said. “The delay in returning a generation unit to service each at Arnot, Kusile and the Koeberg power stations, as well as the failure of a generation unit each at Medupi, Hendrina, Camden and two units at Majuba power stations, have exacerbated the capacity constraints,” it said.
Some generation units at other power stations are expected to return to service over the next few days, it said. “Should there be any further loss of generation capacity over the next three days – or should units fail to return to service as anticipated – load shedding may be required to be implemented at short notice.”notice between 16:00 and 24:00 over the next three days
