Eskom has warned that load-shedding stage changes will be erratic.
Eskom says it doesn’t have diesel to run its open-cycle gas turbine power plants, which form part of its emergency power generation fleet.
“Since Friday morning, a generating unit each at Kendal and Kriel power stations were taken offline for repairs,” Eskom said. Eskom said a generating unit each at Camden, Kriel, Tutuka, and two units at Majuba power stations were returned to service. Eskom said the projects and repairs would remove over 2,300MW of generating capacity from the system. One stage of load-shedding is roughly 1,000MW.
