Eskom is reducing load-shedding to stage 3 from 9pm on Thursday, saying it has regained some generating capacity.
Stage 3 will run until 5am on Friday and thereafter stage 2 will continue through the weekend until 5am on Monday. "The emergency generation reserves have sufficiently improved to permit a reduction in the stage of load-shedding," said the power utility. "A generation unit each at Matla, Medupi, Kusile and Camden power stations have returned to service while a unit each at Matla, Lethabo and Arnot power stations were taken offline for repairs during the same period. Two other units are expected to return to service today [Thursday] while another five generation units are expected to be back in service by Monday afternoon."
