Eskom will continue to implement Stage 3 load-shedding in the evenings, after which it will suspend rotational power cuts between midnight and 16:00 the following day.<\/p>\n

The power utility said the same pattern would repeat until further notice.<\/p>\n

“Load-shedding will be implemented at Stage 3 over the evening peak periods and suspended from midnight until 16:00 until further notice,” it said.<\/p>\n

“Stage 3 load-shedding will be implemented at 16:00 until midnight today and load-shedding will be suspended from midnight until 16:00 on Monday.”<\/p>\n

The power utility currently has 4,376MW of generating capacity offline for planned maintenance, with a further 16,524MW unavailable due to breakdowns.<\/p>\n

Eskom said it returned a generating unit each at the Hendrina, Kriel, and Medupi power stations over the past 24 hours.<\/p>\n

“In the same period, a generation unit each at Arnot and Medupi power stations were taken out of service due to breakdowns,” it added.<\/p>\n

“The delays in returning to service a generating unit each at Grootvlei, Hendrina and Tutuka power stations are contributing to the current capacity constraints.”<\/p>\n

Eskom said its teams are working around the clock to return the units to service in the coming week.<\/p>\n
