Load-shedding is far from over

Despite Eskom power cuts having eased in recent weeks, South Africans can expect intermittent load-shedding to continue until the utility’s long-term problems are resolved.that some credit must be given for Eskom’s improved performance in the past few weeks.The OutlierYelland explained that the data shows this has not been a fluke — Eskom’s unplanned breakdowns for the first 13 weeks of this year are consistently lower than for the first 13 weeks of last year.

In addition, Yelland explained that the only reason Kusile’s units have been reconnected is due to a temporary solution Eskom implemented. “Each unit will be shut down for about three months to put in place the so-called final solution, which hopefully will return these three units back into service thereafter on a permanent basis,” Yelland said.

“The temporary arrangement will probably last towards about the end of this year when each unit will be shut down in sequence,” Yelland said.In addition, he said part of the reason for the improved load-shedding over recent weeks is lower demand than last year. Therefore, Eskom’s performance has not necessarily improved. Rather, more consumers have turned to self-generation.
