Eskom's acting CEO, Brian Molefe, says after a 25 day run without load-shedding, there is a chance that the power utility could schedule Stage One outages in the next week.
This, as Eskom tackles major maintenance projects.
Molefe told the media at Parliament that the possibility of renewed load-shedding could be implemented until September 12.
He said the past three weeks free of outages did not mean that Eskom had reverted to its former policy of keeping the lights on at all costs, but that it had mostly been able to juggle maintenance to the grid in such a way, that it had maintained enough reserve capacity to avert load-shedding.
