Wednesday, 09 September 2020: With the continued recovery of
available capacity to meet demand, Eskom is pleased to confirm that no
loadshedding was implemented today. No loadshedding is expected tomorrow.
However, any deterioration in the generation performance would result in the need
for the implementation of loadshedding at short notice.
Eskom will continue to communicate
timeously should there be any changes as the system remains unreliable and
vulnerable.
Unplanned breakdowns amount to 11 334MW
of capacity, adding to the 5 831MW currently out on planned maintenance. Eskom
teams are working around the clock to return as many of these generation units
to service as possible.
We urge the people
of South Africa to continue using electricity sparingly in order to assist
Eskom to avoid the implementation of loadshedding.
