Initially, the power utility said that stage 6 would only be implemented between 4pm and 5am.
Eskom spokesperson, Sikonathi Mantshansha says they have had to increase the power cuts due to severe capacity constraints. "Eskom will continue to manage the limited emergency generation reserves to supplement generation capacity. Eskom will publish a further update as soon as there are any significant changes."
“Eleven generators amounting to 5 084MW of capacity suffered breakdowns since Tuesday morning, further reducing available capacity and necessitating the increase in the stages of loadshedding.“These were a unit each at the Camden, Duvha, Grootvlei, Hendrina, Kendal, and two units each at Kriel, Majuba and Matla power stations.”
A unit each at Camden, Duvha, Hendrina, Kriel, Matimba and Matla power stations has returned to service, representing 2 540MW of capacity.
