“During this time Eskom will be working hard to return a number of generating units to service and we urge the public to continue using electricity sparingly.
“Total breakdowns amount to 14 760MW while planned maintenance is 5 277MW of capacity,” Eskom said in a statement. The power utility also said they were still recovering four units at Tutuka power plant which experienced conveyor belt failures.“Emergency reserves have been further depleted today due to breakdowns of a generating unit each at Kusile, Komati and Hendrina power stations.
“The return of a generating unit at Majuba power station today provided some relief, however, this was insufficient to curb the extensive use of emergency reserves.IOL
