Loadshedding

The power utility said it would have to implement stage 2 power cuts if any further loss of generation capacity occurs.

The power utility currently has 2,986MW offline for scheduled maintenance, with a further 15,513MW unavailable due to breakdowns. “Some generation units at other power stations are expected to return to service over the next few days,” the power utility added. Two units at the Majuba power station and one each at Medupi, Hendrina, and Camden are unavailable due to breakdowns.

Power utility Eskom announced on Tuesday that it might implement stage 2 load shedding at short notice due to a shortage of generation capacity.

Some generation units at other power stations are expected to return to service over the next few days. “However, should there be any further loss of generation capacity over the next three days, or should some units fail to return to service as anticipated, load shedding may be required to be implemented at short notice,” Eskom said. “The delay in returning a generation unit to service each at Arnot, Kusile, and the Koeberg power stations, as well as the failure of a generation unit each at Medupi, Hendrina, Camden, and two units at Majuba Power Station, have exacerbated the capacity constraints.
