LOAD-SHEDDING NEWS - Cassim said that a “successful winter” for Eskom would be to keep the peak periods at stage 6 or lower and during off-peak periods at stage 4.
“We had three units at Kusile Power Station of 2 000MW, which are no longer available during this winter. We also have both units of Koeberg of 900MW that are not available. We are starting on the back foot of -3 000MW,” Cassim said.
Meanwhile, the acting CEO is expected to address the media on Thursday to provide an update on the state of the system and Eskom’s operational performance with the primary focus on the winter outlook.
Stage 4 will be implemented between 05:00 and 16:00 followed by Stage 6 between 16:00 and 05:00 every day.
