The power system is currently constrained and under pressure meaning that there is a high risk of load shedding.
The strain is a result of increased demand in electricity, as a result of the current cold front, and a shortage of generating capacity as some of Eskom‘s power station units are currently on maintenance.
Any unexpected changes on the vulnerable and constrained power system could lead to load shedding being implemented at short notice.
