Eskom warns that load-shedding stages could change at short notice.
“Since Sunday afternoon a generating unit each at Arnot, Hendrina, Lethabo and Majuba, as well as two units at Camden Power Station have suffered breakdowns and taken offline for repairs,” it said.“The New Vaal Mine that is supplying the station has been unable to deliver the expected amount of coal during the past week because of the heavy rains,” Eskom stated.
“The three running units are operating at minimum capacity and are at risk of shutdown should the coal supply constraints not be resolved.” Given the high number of breakdowns, Eskmo warned further changes to load-shedding stages could happen at short notice. “Breakdowns currently amount to 21,243MW of generating capacity while 3,566W of generating capacity is out of service for planned maintenance,” the state-owned power utility said.reduce rotational power cuts to stage 4Finance minister Enoch Godongwana is scheduled to deliver his budget speech on Wednesday, 22 February, where he is expected to announce tax incentives for rooftop solar.“We are going to proceed with the rollout of rooftop solar panels,” Ramaphosa said.
