The Eskom CEO Andre de Ruyter says that chances of reaching Stage 8 rolling blackouts have started to recede.

De Ruyter has conceded that they are in a difficult situation but says it’s not all doom and gloom.

He elaborates, “There are many questions asked on a regular basis if there is a possibility of Stage 8 load shedding as you will see from the outlook that possibility is receding, which is comforting and is positive. However, there is of course always an inherent risk and for that purpose we have to protect our reserves, the diesel reserves at our open site gas turbines as well as our storage reserves.

Eskom’s CEO adds that the Kusile Power Station’s Unit 5 is expected to be synchronised to the grid in July. This will add 700 megawatts to the grid. He says Unit 4 at the Medupi Power Station is due to return to service in September next year and Unit 1 at Koeberg is expected to be back in June. He adds that he understands the frustrations of South Africans as Eskom subjects them to rolling blackouts.
