All this talk of load shedding and nothing seems to be happening? Not anymore, because today Eskom have gone further than the “emergency” they declared last week – they’ve now given actual times!
On Thursday, large parts of the country experienced blackouts. Load shedding occurred after Eskom declared an emergency. The power cuts were due to wet coal stocks, caused by seven days of heavy rain.
Eskom said South Africa saved 1800 megawatts over the last six years. Apparently that’s enough energy to power Durban. The energy powerhouse hastened to add that this saving was due to energy efficient lighting. And not just any lights – the lights rolled out by them from 2004 to 2010.
