Eskom warns of constrained power system
Eskom has urged South Africans to use electricity sparingly due to a severely constrained power grid.
The state-owned power utility made the announcement on Wednesday afternoon.
Eskom spokesperson Sikonathi Mantshantsha says there has been a delay in returning five generation units to the system.
"The return to service of two-generation units at the Tutuka power station has been delayed, as well as a unit each at Duvha, Matimba and Kusile power stations.
"An additional unit at Tutuka tripped this afternoon while Kusile’s Unit 1 has been shut down. Eskom teams are hard at work to return these units to service.”
