- Due to the loss of two generating units over the past 24 hours and the increase of planned maintenance as part of Eskom’s plan to improve its generation fleet reliability, Stage 2 loadshedding will be implemented from 05:00 on Monday until further notice.
- Eskom will closely monitor the power system and provide an update should any significant changes occur.
Unplanned outages account for 14 641MW of generating capacity, while the capacity out of service for planned maintenance increased to 7 850MW.
Eskom Power Station General Managers and their teams are working diligently to ensure that additional generating capacity is recovered by bringing units on unplanned outages and planned maintenance back to service as soon as possible. A total of 3 830MW of generating capacity is anticipated to return to service by Wednesday.
