Eskom’s Easter Miracle: No Load Shedding Resurrection
Social media skeptics aside, Eskom has pulled off an Easter miracle by avoiding load shedding during the holiday weekend. Electricity Minister Kgosientsho Ramakgopa credits this achievement to meticulous planning and coordination under the Energy Action Plan (EAP).
Ramakgopa cites improvements in unplanned capacity loss factors as evidence of Eskom’s recovery. However, he cautions that challenges remain, and the fight against load shedding is not over. The Eskom Se Push app is advised as a handy tool.
Renewable energy projects have also contributed to Eskom’s improved performance. Looking ahead, Ramakgopa promises the return of several generating units in the coming months. Medupi Power Station Unit 4, Koeberg Unit 2, and Kusile Power Station Unit 6 are slated for synchronization, adding significant power to the grid.
“The next six months promise a surge of power, ensuring that our performance remains electrifying,” concludes Ramakgopa, leaving hope for a brighter future in electricity reliability.
