Pretoria – Eskom says while the power system is currently stable and there is no load shedding, electricity users are urged to consider energy efficient ways of keeping warm.
“The power system is currently stable, enabling Eskom to perform maintenance without load shedding.
“However, as a result of increased electricity demand in the evening and power generating units being on maintenance, the power system is expected to be constrained during the evening peak period,” said the power utility.
The evening peak period is between 5pm and 9pm.
“In winter the electricity demand peaks in the morning and evening as more electricity is used during these times. We appeal to all our customers to continue to reduce their electricity usage throughout the day but to be aware of the need to save more during the peak periods from 6am to 10am and 5pm to 9pm.” – SAnews.gov.za
