Load-shedding will be reduced to stage 3 from Thursday morning until Saturday morning.
The power utility said on Wednesday stage 4 load-shedding will be maintained until 5am on Thursday morning.
“The continued load-shedding is necessary due to the shortage of generation capacity as a result of persistent high levels of breakdowns and to further replenish the emergency generation reserves. Eskom will publish a further notice on Friday afternoon, or as soon as there are significant changes.” A generation unit each at Arnot, Kriel, Lethabo and Matla, as well as two units at Camden power station, were returned to service on Tuesday night.
However, a generation unit each at Hendrina, Kendal and Majuba power stations were taken offline for repairs. “Furthermore, the delay in returning a generating unit each to service at Kendal, Komati and Tutuka power stations have added to the capacity constraints.”TimesLIVE
