South Africans woke up to Stage 2 load shedding on Friday morning. This after Eskom implemented Stage 4 load shedding earlier this week, then Stage 3 from 9pm on Thursday
"A unit each at the Koeberg, Medupi, Kriel, Duvha, Kusile and Tutuka power stations returned to service, helping to ease the current capacity constraints. Unfortunately, during this time, a unit each at Majuba and Arnot power stations tripped while a single unit at Matla was forced to shut down," Eskom said.
It said while this allowed space to reduce the utilisation of emergency generation reserves, it is however, still insufficient to end the current load shedding. The next two days will be used to further improve the emergency reserves in preparation for the week ahead.MORE ON THIS
