Eskom said blackouts will continue in the coming days due to plant breakdowns and low levels of emergency reserves. File photo.Eskom CEO André de Ruyter conceded during a briefing on SA’s energy crisis on Sunday that “given the current performance of our coal fleet we cannot deny there is a risk” of going beyond stage 6 of load-shedding.
“There is a risk and we need to prepare for this risk and hence the urgent need to replenish our [emergency] reserves,” he said, adding there was a high likelihood of load-shedding continuing at stage 6 at the start of the week as diesel supplies needed to operate open cycle gas turbine peaking plants - and pumped storage scheme dam levels - were replenished.
They assured the nation load-shedding was being implemented to ensure the stability of the national power grid as teams worked around the clock to bring generating units back to service.TimesLIVE
…Why don’t you define these risks more specifically so that experts and specialists in our country may come to your aid… it’s blatantly obvious that you and your partner have reached your wits end and would benefit from some expert not ministerial or presidential assistance…?
