The power utility has implemented Stage 4 loadshedding which is expected to continue until Wednesday.
Energy expert Chris Yelland says the power supply interruption from Cahora Bassa in Mozambique is not the main cause for the rolling blackouts currently in place in South Africa. Eskom says Cyclone Idai which hit Mozambique last week, have affected power supply lines. The power utility has implemented Stage 4 loadshedding which is expected to continue until Wednesday.“Something like 1 400 megawatts of power from Mozambique was down, but at the same time 5000 megawatts of power is down as a result of boiler tubes from Eskom’s coal fired plants.
