Eskom said some generation units are planned to return to service early next week, which will further improve the power system outlook for the coming week.
"We remind customers, however, that the generation system remains constrained, vulnerable and unpredictable. As such, loadshedding could be implemented at short notice if there is a change in the generation system performance. We request customers to continue using electricity sparingly to help curb demand," Eskom said
Eskom said unplanned breakdowns or outages were at 10 760MW as at 18:40 this evening and planned maintenance outages are at 5 432MW. Eskom warned that there is a possibility of increased loadshedding over the next 18 months as due to critical maintenance to restore the ageing infrastructure. • Switch off your geysers over peak periods• Set your swimming pool pump cycle to run twice a day, three hours at a time
