Eskom says that the risk of load shedding is low for both Thursday, and Friday (18, 19 December).<\/p>\n
“The power grid remains constrained but stable. The risk of load-shedding is low for today and tomorrow. Weekend focus will be made tomorrow,” it said.<\/p>\n
“Though risk of load shedding is low, customers are still urged to continue using electricity efficiently at all times.”<\/p>\n
Four Eskom generators stopped working at three different power stations on Tuesday, but were functional again on Wednesday morning.<\/p>\n
The power utility warned that it needed to build up its diesel and water reserves, which it had used for the past few days as an alternative supplier.<\/p>\n
Eskom has struggled to keep the lights on in recent week, following the collapse of one of its coal storage silos, diesel shortages, and maintenance issues.<\/p>\n
