Low risk of load shedding

The risk of load shedding is low today, following 32 days of no load shedding in the country, Eskom said on Thursday.

In summer, the demand for electricity is high for most of the day predominantly due to the increased usage of air-conditioners, geysers and pool pumps.

Eskom appealed to consumers to reduce their electricity consumption in summer.

“We urge our customers to make a positive difference by reducing their electricity usage at home and at the office, and to encourage their friends and family to do the same,” said Eskom. – SAnews.gov.za
