Eskom has warned that load shedding could kick in at short notice after five of its units failed during the day - three in the past two hours.

In a statement issued on Tuesday afternoon, spokesperson Sikonathi Mantshantsha said load shedding would need to be implemented at "very short notice" if there were any further loss of generation capacity.

A generating unit each at Kusile and Majuba were taken offline to repair boiler tube leaks, while a generating unit each at Kriel, Majuba and Matimba tripped, while the return to service of a generating unit each at Kendal and Tutuka were delayed.

Total breakdowns have increased to 16 822MW, while planned maintenance is 4 888MW of capacity.


Eskom only recently halted its most recent bout of load shedding, during which the country faced several days of rolling power cuts at Stage 4.

I have said this before and will say it again.... stop loadshedding.

Make this a permanent institution. Proivide only 12 hours of electricity per day and cut everything the other 12 hours. We have descended into darkness under the ANC.

I am happy for you, that you are capable of surviving on only 12 hours a day of electricity...

You don't have any idea what the implications of this "idea" would be...

you should switch your power off so the rest of us can have some.
 
Where are our trustworthy resident engineers that measure the grids' Hz and determine just how bad the situation is? They usually petty accurate.
