Eskom said in a statement that the public should start to see an improvement in power supply soon as it continues to repair generators at the company’s power plants.<\/p>\n
This comes after the comany carried out a so-called maintenance festival over the long weekend.<\/p>
Eskom said the maintenance of its key power plant is a lengthy process and with winter approaching, it\u2019s central that vital work be conducted now avoid the country being left in the cold.<\/p>\n
Spokesman for the company,\u00a0Khulu Phasiwe said,\u00a0\u201cWe\u2019re beginning to see an improvement in terms of the operations of our power stations or units, but we\u2019re not out of the woods yet.\u201d<\/p>
\u201cSome of power stations\u00a0may take a bit long because obviously it depends on the nature of the things that need to be repaired.”<\/p>\n
With continued load shedding, Eskom said it aims at ensuring undisturbed power supply but the margin would remain tight over the coming weeks.<\/p>\n
\u201cSome parts of the country are getting colder and that\u2019s when they use a lot of electricity,\u201d he warned.<\/p>\n
Despite measures to prevent load shedding, Eskom is still calling for South Africans to realise that the overall supply problem has not been resolved yet.<\/p>\n
The load shedding prognosis for today remains medium to high and is dependent on the performance of the power plant.<\/p>\n
