"Breakdowns at a unit each at Duvha, Lethabo, Majuba and Tutuka power stations caused units to be taken offline for repairs. 


"The delay in returning a unit each to service at Arnot, Camden, Duvha and Kendal power stations are contributing to the current capacity constraints. 


"Breakdowns currently amount to 19 031MW of generating capacity while 4 174MW of generating capacity is out of service for planned maintenance."
