🔌Eskom announces stage 2 load shedding indefinitely, after 6 generating units broke down at 5 power stations💡Catch up on updates here: Eskom loadshedding loadsheddingupdates
Eskom has announced that stage 2 load shedding will be implemented from 4pm until further notice, after six generating units broke down at five power stations.
Eskom said the ramping up of load shedding on Friday is necessary to conserve emergency generation reserves, as well as the delay in returning to service numerous generating units. Spokesperson Sikonathi Mantshantsha said the ailing parastatal will keep South Africans informed if there are any significant changes to the load shedding schedule.“A generating unit each at Duvha, Grootvlei, Hendrina, Majuba and two units at Arnot Power Station, were taken offline for repairs over the past 24 hours. The delay in returning to service two generating units at Camden and one unit each at Arnot and Duvha power stations contributed to the capacity constraints.
“A generating unit each at Kriel and Matla power stations were returned to service during this period,” he said. He said the utility currently has 4 423MW on planned maintenance, while another 16 708MW of capacity is unavailable due to breakdowns.
