Matthew Cruise, an energy expert at Forest Energy Selections, has warned that the grid is at risk of being overloaded this winter, which could lead to the return of load-shedding., Cruise explained that there was a sudden energy availability factor increase leading up to the end of May, but Eskom has since returned to burning diesel to meet demand.
“At the start of May, it was at 58%, and then it increased all the way up to 70% just briefly. Then, it was sitting at an average of 65% week-on-week,” said Cruise. “We do unfortunately see units coming offline as there’re catastrophic failures within the power stations due to them being run hard and being quite old,” he added.
He said Eskom’s outlook for winter was optimistic, adding that he expects the power utility to implement load-shedding between stages 1 and 3 However, Eskom issued a media statement slamming claims that load-shedding would return after the elections.
