    Eskom says that all its generators are working at all of the stations today (Wednesday 17 December), but warns that the grid is still vulnerable.

    Eskom spokesperson Khulu Phasiwe told Grocott’s Mail that the four generators that were malfunctioning at three stations were all working this morning.

    Eskom says that all its generators are working at all of the stations today (Wednesday 17 December), but warns that the grid is still vulnerable.

    Eskom spokesperson Khulu Phasiwe told Grocott’s Mail that the four generators that were malfunctioning at three stations were all working this morning.

    “One of our power stations was hit by lightning yesterday, which caused damage to a generator,” he said. Phasiwe said the risk of load shedding was very low this week as long as all the generators keep functioning without any problems.

    “Although the generators are back up but we are not safe quite yet,” he added. He said the power utility needs to build up its diesel and water reserves, which it had used for the past few days as an alternative supplier.

    The generators had stopped working at three different power stations on Tuesday this week. Phasiwe pleaded with consumers to use electricity sparingly and to switch off geysers if they go on holiday.
