Hospitals exempted from SA power cuts
As South Africa braces for another month of rolling blackouts, followed by four months of electricity rationing, the country's power utility, Eskom, has assured hospitals that they will stay plugged into the national power grid.
Eskom has been unable to keep up with demand and hopes its emergency measures will drop national demand by 10 percent. "We are calling for a 10 percent reduction by all sectors. That is urgent. Because, if we are not delivering on that, then we are not likely to achieve the 4,000MW that we need to [stabilise] the system," The Star newspaper quoted Minister of Minerals and Energy Buyelwa Sonjica as saying on Wednesday.
