Eskom warns load-shedding could be needed next week

[Jan]

Expect Eskom power cuts next week

Eskom said that it is on-track to suspend load-shedding at 05:00 on Friday.

This is due to lower expected demand over Easter weekend.

Its a bit like Covid. Seems to go away but rears its ugly head at intervals

Since it is International Laughter day (apparently)
I'm just going to sit here and laugh at what a dismal fukkup the cANCer is. And laugh at how important they think they are. And laugh at hoe badass the weak spineless coward Bheki Cele thinks he is. And laugh at the fact that the cANCer think this shitthole of a country and all their failures are a huge success and what a bunch of fat slobbering pigs they are.

“Eskom would like to inform the public that any further deterioration in generation capacity may require further load-shedding,” the power utility warned.

Oh Eskom! Its as if you don't know us already

No load shedding will happen. This is just sensationalism.

So, unless generation improves somewhere, it looks like load shedding next week?

That was stated last week already, though they have been taking down units for repairs, that's what they said on Thursday

Sadly nope, though the cold weather probably doesn't help.
