Breakdowns are currently at 16 547MW of generating capacity while the generating capacity out of service for planned maintenance is 4 507MW. Over the past 24 hours, a generating unit at Arnot and two generating units at Matla power stations were returned to service. In the same period, a generating unit at Camden, Duvha, Kendal, Kriel and Majuba power stations was taken offline for repairs.

The delay in returning to service a generating unit at Kendal and two generating units at Tutuka power stations is contributing to the current capacity constraints.
