Eskom has revised its load-shedding schedule, opting to maintain Stage 2 until Monday afternoon, February 26, 2024, marking a deviation from the previously anticipated Stage 3 implementation.
Schedule Highlights:
- Stage 2 Extension: Continuous until 16:00 on Monday, thanks to replenished emergency reserves over the weekend.
- Stage 3 Introduction: From 16:00 on Monday to 16:00 on Tuesday, transitioning to an alternating pattern with Stage 2.
Operational Update:
- Capacity Recovery: Eskom expects to reintegrate 4,170MW of generating capacity by Wednesday.
- Continuous Monitoring: Any significant updates will be communicated promptly.
Recent Challenges:
- Stage 4 Precursor: Last Thursday’s transition to continuous Stage 4 load-shedding was triggered by the loss of six units, impacting both Kendal and Duvha stations.
- Kendal’s Complications: Detailed explanation provided for the outage at Kendal, including a leaking safety valve and a contamination incident in the water treatment plant.
Eskom’s proactive measures and strategic adjustments aim to mitigate the impact of load-shedding on South Africans, demonstrating the utility’s ongoing efforts to stabilize the power grid amidst operational hurdles.
