ESKOM is confident it will meet the rising demand for electricity during the cold spell which currently has the country in its grip.
“Eskom has adequate power supply to meet the demand. Yesterday, our month-to-date energy availability factor was recorded at 80.78%, in line with our target,” said Eskom on Tuesday.
Despite the cold weather, Eskom has not implemented load shedding in over 11 months and has not used its open cycle gas turbines (OCGT) for the past 25 days.
The power utility urged customers across the country to continue to use electricity efficiently in order to reduce pressure on the power grid.
