Eskom says it will be reduced to stage 1 from 5am tomorrow morning until Saturday 5am as their generational system is still constrained. 


They added that since Monday they have successfully returned four units at Khusile, Grootvlei, Kriel and Matla power stations as well as the Cahora Bassa line in Mozambique.

The power supplier says however, this is not sufficient enough to suspend loadshedding at this point. They have lost generation capacity at Medupi, Arnot Power and Komati stations. 

 

Planned maintenance at four other power stations have been delayed, prolonging the need for loadshedding
