Eskom says load-shedding stage 4 will be implemented from 16:00 until 05:00 tomorrow. Thereafter, various stages of load-shedding will be implemented.

The power utility says breakdowns are currently at 283MW of generating capacity while the generating capacity is out of service.

“Over the past 24 hours, a generation unit at Kriel Power Station was returned to service.

“In the same period, a generating unit at each Camden and Duvha power stations was taken offline for repairs. The delays in returning a unit to service at Kendal and two units each at Kriel and Tutuka power stations contributed to the current capacity constraints,” says the power utility.
