Concerns Eskom crisis will continue to get worse

As Eskom moves from crisis to crisis, there are concerns that the situation could get worse.

The utility announced on Sunday that it was implementing stage six load shedding – with more generating units breaking down.

Eskom has seen one of its worst crises yet with power stations losing unit after unit.

Please switch off all non-essential electrical appliances during #loadshedding to avoid power surges when the power returns. Failure to do so may lead to extended outages or damage to household appliances when the supply is restored. pic.twitter.com/ojLRHROzwb

The utility has admitted that it suffered 45 breakdowns in just seven days – including a problem at Koeberg.

Political analyst Dale McKinley has been following South Africa’s power crisis very closely.

“What we have here is we have a situation, a deep-seated historical legacy of all of this cocktail is coming to bare even more and for the next year of two, we must expect more of this.”

He said there is a plan but the results are far off.

#Loadshedding #Stage6

Following the tripping of a generation unit each at Kusile and Kriel power stations, Stage 6 loadshedding was implemented effective 04:16. Eskom appeals to the public to help conserve electricity.

“It is too late at this stage obviously to rescue the situation in terms of for example an immediate shift to renewable energies but that can still be speeded up.”

A failing fleet of coal-fired power stations and continued load shedding – the question is now when will the Independent Power Producers (IPP) come on line – as the power system continues to fail.
