Cape Town – Eskom says that load shedding could be implemented at short notice due to a constrained national power grid.
The power utility said this on Monday.
“While no load shedding is currently being implemented, Eskom requests to the public to reduce the consumption of electricity as any further losses of generation capacity would force the implementation of load shedding at very short notice
“The loss of multiple generators over the weekend, as well as delays in returning some generation units to service, has made for a constrained power system this afternoon. Eskom is working on returning a generation unit each at Matimba, Duvha and Arnot power stations to service before the evening peak,” said Eskom.
