The power utility attributed the reduced weekend load-shedding forecast to several generation units at different power stations returning to service over the past 24 hours.
“Over the past 24 hours, a generating unit each at Duvha, Kriel and Matla power stations were successfully returned to service,” it said.
“The return to service of a generating unit each at Hendrina, Medupi, and Tutuka, power stations are delayed.” Eskom currently has 4,652MW of generating capacity offline for scheduled maintenance, with a further 16,549MW unavailable due to breakdowns. “During the same [24-hour] period, a generating unit each at Camden and Kendal power stations were taken offline for repairs,” it said.
“The repairs to the damaged towers from Cahora Bassa in Mozambique are continuing and are anticipated to be completed by early next week.”The load-shedding timetable for the weekend and Monday is provided in the table below.
