- SCO – Synchronous Condenser Operation. The energy used (MW per hour) to overcome the frictional losses when plant is used to assist in stabilizing the network by supplying or absorbing reactive power.
- OCGT – Open Cycle Gas Turbine. Generation from open cycle gas turbine power stations, and sent-out onto the Transmission network. These power stations use diesel as their primary resource.
- IPP – Independent Power Producers that Eskom has contracts with.
- IOS – Interruption of Supply. It is all contracted as well as mandatory demand reduction resources utilised by Eskom National Control. This includes interruption of supply due to Transmission network faults.
- ILS – Interruptible Load Shed. This is consumer load(s) that can be contractually interrupted without notice or reduced by remote control or on instruction from Eskom National Control. Individual contracts place limitations on usage.
- MLR – Manual Load Reduction. It is an estimation of the demand that has been reduced due to load shedding and/or curtailment.
