"Over the past 24 hours, a generation unit was returned to service at Lethabo and Matimba power stations.


"In the same period, two generating units at Kriel Power Station and a generating unit at Kendal Power Station were taken offline for repairs. The delays in returning a unit to service at Camden, Lethabo, Kriel, Medupi and Tutuka power stations have contributed to the capacity constraints."
