According to Eskom, the breakdown of a unit each at Arnot, Majuba and Medupi power stations had resulted in the implementation of stage 4 loadshedding.
This increase in stages of loadshedding comes after Electricity Minister Kgosientsho Ramokgopa returned to Kusile Power Station on Monday, stating that repairs to three damaged units were still underway, adding that the first unit would be running by November.
The minister stated that if the three units could be back running by the end of the year, it could result in lower loadshedding stages, boosting the fight against the crippling loadshedding blackouts. ‘In addition, the delay in returning units to service at Camden, Hendrina, Kendal, Matla and two generating units at Tutuka Power Stations continue to add to the current capacity constraints,’ Mokwena said.
