Power provider Eskom said its emergency generation reserves had adequately recovered on Sunday .
“While the Kendal ash plant has returned to full operation, unfortunately the station has suffered failures of two generating units. We have had further breakdowns of a unit each at Kriel, Komati and Arnot power stations, as well as a delay in returning a unit to service at Tutuka.”
Eskom said the total breakdowns amount to 13,634MW while planned maintenance is 6,348MW of capacity as they continue with the reliability maintenance. “While load-shedding will be suspended for now, Eskom appeals to all South Africans to continue using electricity sparingly and to switch off non-essential items. We will communicate promptly should there be any significant changes to the power system.”
