Eskom warns of load-shedding at short notice as six units break down

Eskom has warned that it may need to implement stage 2 load-shedding at short notice on Monday evening between 18:00 and midnight due to a shortage of generation capacity.

The state-owned power utility has suffered breakdowns at Kriel, Majuba, and Matla in the past 24 hours. Three generating units at Arnot power station also broke down.

? There is more than 100% charged?
hahaha... was a joke. I've actually never seen anyone post a screenshot with a 100% charge. Most people have like 10% left.

Electricity generators are very reliable machines. How come we have so many breakdowns every other month?

The coal is to cold to use in the power stations!

Precisely, in winter the fires at the power plants are not as hot as they are during summer so they make less steam which means less power is generated. It's decolonized science comrades.
