Eskom has given its usual warning that the electricity system balance will be “tight” during winter, when it expects demand to peak at 36 800 MW. The difference this time round is that the utility will undertake “long-duration planned maintenance” during the coldest winter months, which will give it less room to manoeuvre. Therefore, as a last-resort option, load-shedding could again be implemented should the system experience severe strain.
