Parastatal Eskom has reiterated its caution that the national electricity system will remain tight until new generating capacity comes on stream and essential generation maintenance is completed.

In its biweekly system status bulletin on Thursday, the utility appealed to electricity consumers to reduce their electricity use as the country moved further into summer and Eskom continued with its planned maintenance on the generating units.

Peak demand was forecast at 30 470 MW on Friday, 28 955 MW on Saturday, 28 538 MW on Sunday, 31 024 MW on Monday, 30 962 MW on Tuesday and 30 788 MW on Wednesday.
