Eskom urges public to use electricity sparingly amid cold front approaching
Eskom has requested the public to reduce the usage of electricity as the South African Weather Service warns of adverse weather conditions.
In its statement, Eskom said the South African weather service has warned that a succession of cold fronts is expected to sweep across the country this week, going into the weekend ”Following this warning, Eskom has called on members of the public to reduce the usage of electricity as the cold conditions will put severe pressure on the power system.’’
According to the power utility, the system is performing well and plans no load shedding.
Eskom has not implemented load shedding since 13 June 2021 due to some improvement in the performance of the Generation fleet
However , the cold front according to Eskom will increase the demand for electricity thereby putting pressure on the power system.
