Eskom announced that Stage 4 load shedding will continue to be implemented, indefinitely, due to high levels of breakdowns and the depleted emergency generation reserves.
The ailing parastal’s spokesperson, Sikonathi Manthantsha
said changes in the stages of loadshedding will be, ‘’more erratic’’, due to
the absence of the buffer that is normally provided by the diesel generation
capacity between generating unit breakdowns.
‘’Since Friday morning a generating unit each at Kendal and
Kriel power stations were taken offline for repairs. Delays in returning to
service a unit each at Arnot, Grootvlei, Hendrina and Tutuka power stations
have contributed to the capacity constraints.’’
‘’A generating unit each at Camden, Kriel, Tutuka and two
units at Majuba power stations were returned to service,’’ he added.
