“Eskom is experiencing very high levels of plant unreliability and forced outages currently,” said Thomas Conradi, Eskom’s power station general manager.

“A number of large generating units are off for an extended period contributing to the high plant unavailability and loss of generating capacity.”

Total unplanned outages currently sit at 14,372MW, significantly higher than Eskom’s planning basis of 13,000MW.

Because the grid is unpredictable, things can change very quickly, but Oberholzer said that with units expected to return during the week, load shedding could be reduced to stage 2 and 3 if all goes well.

“While load shedding has been high for an extended period, there is no risk of any high load shedding at this time,” Oberholzer said, adding that there is no risk of a blackout.”
