State-owned power utility Eskom has advised that Units 2 and 3 of the Kendal power station, in Mpumalanga, will be returned to service early this week, following a fire over the weekend.
The two units were shut down after damage was incurred to Unit 1’s generator transformer.
Unit 1 will only return to service in November.
The utility did not expect the incident to result in load-shedding.
