Eskom has noted the expected rise in demand for energy from South African consumers, presenting a heightened risk of load shedding.
Despite subdued demand due to the hard lockdown, Eskom still had to implement loadshedding last year.
Eskom spokesman Sikonathi Mantshantsha said the system has been under severe pressure for at least the past two weeks.
As SA braces for winter, Eskom says the grid is beginning to take strain under increased demand as the power utility continues to roll out its maintenance programme.

Australian couple markets world first compostable potato-based cling wrap, pallet wrap
After being disheartened by the sheer amount of waste products in their respective industries, Julia and Jordy Kay have decided to produce the world’s first compostable cling wrap and pallet wrap. This wrap is made out of potato waste.
The Melbourne couple sold more than $30,000 of ‘Great Wrap‘ in their first week. Julia Kay said they couldn’t make their Great Wrap ‘fast enough’.
The couple quit their jobs at the beginning of 2020, spoke to experts and developed a fully compostable product that doesn’t leave any nasty micro plastics behind. Now, they have a factory on the Mornington Peninsula - completely solar powered – as well as 15 staff. They also have big plans to tackle the most destructive plastic-based products one at a time. The couple currently import the potato waste product from the US.
