In addition, the delay in returning to service a generating unit each at Arnot, Duvha and Kriel power stations has contributed to capacity constraints.
However, a generating unit each at Arnot, Duvha, Grootvlei, Kendal, Kriel, Matimba and Medupi power stations returned to service On Friday afternoon, Eskom had 5,901MW in planned maintenance while another 15,394MW of capacity was unavailable due to breakdowns.
