Eskom started off the week well‚ with Monday being outage-free‚ but load shedding looks set to return on Tuesday.
@Eskom–SA took to Twitter in the morning to congratulate itself: “Eskom did not implement load shedding yesterday”‚ before giving its almost usual outlook for the day: “The prognosis for today is once again low for the morning and high for the evening.”
Monday night’s outlook was a departure from the norm‚ as the evening prognosis was “medium” rather than “high”.
A high load shedding prognosis more often than not precedes an alert of imminent outages during the evening peak period – 5pm to 9pm – “as a result of increased electricity demand in the evening and power stations’ units being on maintenance”.
Eskom’s website‚ as usual‚ said: “The power system is currently stable‚ enabling Eskom to perform maintenance without load shedding.”
