Due to some recovery in generation capacity over the past 48 hours, loadshedding will be reduced to Stage 3 from 05:00 on Wednesday until 16:00.

Thereafter, Stage 4 loadshedding will be implemented until 05:00 on Thursday. This pattern will continue, until further notice.

Over the past 48 hours, the repairs to the damaged towers from Cahora Bassa in Mozambique were completed and restored to full capacity, Eskom said in a statement.

A generating unit each at Arnot, Grootvlei, Kriel, and Tutuka power stations has been returned to service. During the same period a generating unit each at Lethabo, and two units at Kriel power stations were taken offline for repairs. The return to service of a generating unit each at Hendrina and Medupi power stations is delayed.

Breakdowns currently total 13 949MW of generating capacity while 4 322MW of generating capacity is out of service for planned maintenance.
