Due to the breakdown of four generation units this morning contributing to the capacity constraints, Eskom announced that Stage 2 loadshedding will be implemented from 10:00 until midnight. Starting yesterday until Sunday night, Stage 2 loadshedding will be implemented from 05:00 until midnight. There is a likelihood that the stage of loadshedding might need to be increased during the evening peaks.
Eskom says a generation unit each at the Kendal and Matimba, as well as two units at the Matla Power Station broke down this morning. This reduced generation capacity by 2 400MW, adding to the ongoing capacity constraints. There has been a delay in returning to service a unit at Kusile Power Station, which is now expected to return to service tomorrow.
