Eskom chief operating officer Jan Oberholzer announced that the power utility would reduce load-shedding as it had replenished sufficient emergency reserves.
Eskom chief operating officer Jan Oberholzer said load-shedding would remain at stage 2 on Tuesday, 15 November 2022, rather than increasing to stage 3 at 16:00 as previously communicated.
Responding to questions from journalists at Eskom’s latest state of the system briefing, Oberholzer said Eskom initially decided to implement stage 3 load-shedding over the first two evenings of the week to allow sufficient time to refill its pumped storage reserves. “We have had sufficient time now to refill our dams. [They are] not 100% full, but we recovered quite a lot in terms of filling the upper dams of the pumped storage [schemes], and we didn’t use any diesel,” he said.“I am pleased to announce that the decision has been made that we will continue with stage 2 load-shedding up until 16:00 tomorrow afternoon,” Oberholzer said.He added that the system had performed “relatively well” since 16:00 on Monday, 14 November.
Oberholzer did not elaborate on the load-shedding schedule beyond 16:00 on Wednesday, 16 November 2022.
