Load shedding will be maintained at Stage 4 until Thursday at 05:00, whereafter it will be reduced to Stage 3 until 05:00 on Saturday morning, Eskom announced on Wednesday. 

This after a generation unit each at Arnot, Kriel, Lethabo, Matla as well as two units at Camden Power Station returned to service on Tuesday night.

That said, a generating unit each at Hendrina, Kendal and Majuba power stations were taken offline for repairs.

"Furthermore, the delay in returning a generating unit each to service at Kendal, Komati and Tutuka power stations have added to the capacity constraints," Eskom added.

"We currently have 6 647MW on planned maintenance, while another 14 692MW of capacity is unavailable due to breakdowns."

Eskom said it would provide a further update on Friday.
