Eskom says no load shedding for Monday, though it will be tight
After a Sunday of no load shedding, the utility has said pressure on the grid has eased.
In a statement on Sunday night, the utility said the risk of Stage 1 load shedding remained high for Monday despite a number of generating units having come back online.
However, on Monday morning they said they would probably be able to avoid it.
@Eskom_SA will not implement stage 1 loadshedding today. However the system remains tight & the risk of loadshedding remains high should power station units fail to return to service as planned. Eskom will keep you informed should there be any change. @CityPowerJhb @CityTshwane

They appealed to consumers to use electricity as sparingly as possible to avoid putting any unnecessary pressure on the already fragile grid.
