Welcome to the Weekend: Start it with Stage 1

By

Eskom has announced that Stage 1 load shedding will be implemented from 07:00 until 22:00 on Saturday.

Eskom said on Friday that the risk of a total blackout was lower than it was a decade ago.

It looks like the Eskom Oracle needs to find a new job as earlier in the week it was forecast that demand today would be 30 342 MW and that capacity available to meet that evening’s peak demand was more at 31 068 MW.

On Sunday (17 May) the capacity available to meet that evening’s peak demand is 31 068 MW (including open cycle gas turbines) while demand is forecast
at 31 156 MW so some ‘lucky’ consumers can expect more load shedding during Sunday Lunch.
