Renewable energy, diesel help Eskom stave off loadshedding 20:30 15/10/2018 Lameez Omarjee, Fin24
The power system has stabilised and there will be no loadshedding on Monday night, Eskom spokesperson Khulu Phasiwe said.
Earlier on Monday Phasiwe had sent out a tweet warning that there is a risk of loadshedding given that the power system was constrained.
Phasiwe sent out another tweet after 20:00 to give an update on the system, and said no loadshedding would be implemented, “despite a constrained national grid”.
“Some units, including Kusile Unit 1, Kendal Unit 4 and Lethabo Unit 1, were brought back to service ahead of the evening peak, helping to stabilise the grid,” the tweet read.
