All-day load shedding will continue this week indefinitely, Eskom says.
Power utility Eskom says that all-day load shedding will continue this week until further notice.
Over the past 24 hours, a generating unit at Camden, Duvha, Kriel and Lethabo power stations was returned to service. The delay in returning to service a generating unit at Kendal, Matimba and Tutuka, Power Stations is contributing to the current capacity constraints. However, the minister was also quick to point out that generating capacity is slowly improving, with Eskom now pushing around 29,000MW on the supply side each day.Eskom has been targeting unplanned outages below 15,000MW, but has not reliably been able to hit this target.
