State power utility Eskom said it will do all in its power to ensure that the country does not experience load-shedding during the State of the Nation Address (SoNA), which will be delivered by President Cyril Ramaphosa at the Cape Town City Hall on Thursday.
Addressing the media with an update on current system challenges on Tuesday afternoon, Eskom COO Jan Oberholzer acknowledged it as an important event.
In the past few days Eskom has had to implement the first bouts of rotational power cuts for 2022.
“We are aiming to reduce the rest of load-shedding in general. The focus is to make sure that we maintain our plants, have skilled human capital to run and operate the plants and to maintain and to deal decisively with the unpredictability and unreliability of the system,” he said.
Oberholzer again promised that Eskom would try to reduce the risk of load-shedding and to ensure that it fulfils the mandate to the country’s economy.
