Eskom announced that stage 2 load-shedding will commence from 16:00 until 22:00 today and thereafter from 05:00 until 22:00 daily until Saturday.
Unit 2 at Koeberg Nuclear Power Station tripped on Saturday during routine testing of the control rod system.

The power utility says further breakdowns at five units, at Arnot, Duvha, Kendal, Medupi and Tutuka power stations, as well as the delay of a Hendrina unit returning to service, have pushed the power grid capacity over the limit.

The process to return the Koeberg unit is also underway.

Currently 4 588MW is unavailable due to maintenance while 16 142MW is out on breakdowns.
