Stage 2 load-shedding expected at short notice for next three days
Eskom warned on Tuesday that Stage 2 load-shedding might be implemented at short notice between 16:00 and 24:00 over the next three days.
This is due to a 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.
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.
Eskom currently has 2 986MW out on planned maintenance, while another 15 513MW of capacity is unavailable due to breakdowns.
