Eskom announced that load shedding would likely persist throughout the coming week.
In a brief statement, the power utility said Stage 2 load shedding would continue until 10 pm on Saturday night and then resume at 8 am on Sunday through to 10 pm.
In the meantime, Eskom said it had successfully returned to service three generating units at the Arnot, Duvha and Kendal power stations.
“These have added a combined 1 565MW capacity to the generation system. Eskom also returned generation units at the Tutuka, Matimba, and Arnot power stations,” it added.
However, Eskom said the return of generation units at Tutuka, Kriel, and Hendrina power stations has been delayed, contributing to the supply constraints.
“Load shedding will most likely persist through the coming week.”
The power utility urged stakeholders to continue reducing electricity usage to help us limit the impact of load shedding.
