The return to service of generating units at Koeberg, Kusile and Tutuka power stations and the unplanned breakdowns of a generation unit each at Camden and Medupi, two at Hendrina and four units at Arnot power stations had made it necessary to continue with evening peak load-shedding.At the time of its announcement, Eskom had 15,624MW of capacity unavailable due to breakdowns and 3,571MW on planned maintenance.
Eskom said load-shedding over the weekend would also assist in recovering its emergency generation reserves, which had been utilised extensively to meet demand over the past few days.
