As Eskom is reviewing the loadshedding framework to prepare for the prospect of higher stages of loadshedding in future, specifications developer NRS Association of South Africa has assured the public that this is primarily a proactive measure to enable the utility and municipalities to be ready to respond should it be necessary.
Engineering News last week quoted Eskom acting generation executive Thomas Conradie as saying that a review of the loadshedding framework was under way to prepare for the prospect of higher stages of loadshedding – potentially up to Stage 16 – in future.
