High risk of blackouts as Eskom start maintenance
There is a high risk of electricity blackouts as Eskom enters its power station maintenance phase and is forced to close some power stations for essential but routine repairs according to an article published by Business Day.
According to Eskom spokesman, Hilary Joffe, the warmer weather does not spell the end of power blackouts as the summer period is "more challenging than winter".
The National Planning Commission's Anton Eberhard told Parliamentarians that the currently low reserve margin meant that electricity supply was "tight".
Business Day says that as Eskom starts its maintenance programme, less plant is available to generate power and if there is a cold snap or higher than expected demand for electricity, there is a risk of widespread power failures.
