Johannesburg – Eskom has issued an “urgent alert” concerning a significant threat of load-shedding on Monday evening with minimal notice, attributable to multiple failures of generation units.
Eskom stated, “Over the past 12 hours, six generation units have been taken offline, placing considerable strain on the power system and requiring the utilization of emergency reserves.”
“If an additional 800MW is lost, Eskom will be compelled to implement Stage 2 load-shedding abruptly.”
Eskom has noted that measures are underway to restore seven generation units to service between the evening peak and Tuesday evening.
“Our teams are continuously monitoring the situation, and additional updates will be provided at 22:00 or earlier if necessary,” Eskom announced.
