Eskom keeps the lights on this weekend

Eskom has again warned that nearly 900 megawatts of power are at high risk. However, due to an improvement in the power system, power cuts would not take place this weekend. The power utility’s CEO Andre de Ruyter provided the daily update on Eskom.

“That risk we believe is manageable given the healthy state of our reserves. Our dams are still looking very good. So, we’ve utilised our overnight excess generation capacity to augment our dams,” he said.

“Our diesel capacity is also looking solid at the moment. So, at this point in time, the outlook for the weekend is good. We don’t see any prospect for any load-shedding for the weekend.
