JOHANNESBURG - Eskom says its generation system is extremely constrained meaning it needs to implement load shedding both today and tomorrow.
Eskom says the blackouts will allow its reserves to recover for the week ahead and will also give technicians time to carry out necessary maintenance and repairs on its generation fleet.
The utility's Andrew Etzinger said, “Unfortunately the new stations are continually unreliable and inconsistent in terms of the output.”Die Hoewes extPierre van Ryneveld ext— City of Tshwane March 14, 2019 ALERT:#Load-shedding continues : Eskom has declared stage 2 rotational load-shedding from 15h00.
