As of Sunday afternoon, breakdowns had increased to 15,777MW of generating capacity, while a further 6,122MW of generating capacity is out of service for planned maintenance.
Generating units at Kendal, Kriel, and Majuba have been taken offline for repairs. There continue to be delays in returning units to service at Duvha, Hendrina, Kriel, Majuba, Medupi and Tutuka power stations.
However, Eskom has managed to return three generation units to service over the past 24 hours — one each at Duvha, Kendal, and Kriel power stations.
