Load shedding to continue throughout coming week
South Africans will once again have to plans their lives around Eskom’s load shedding schedule this week.
The power utility will implement stage 2 power cuts between 5pm and 10pm on Sunday due to a loss of generating capacity.
Spokesperson Sikonathi Mantshantsha says it will be a similar story throughout the coming week.
“On Monday and Tuesday evening, at the same times, load shedding will be implemented at stage 3. Thereafter load shedding will be reduced to stage 2 for the rest of the week.
“Since yesterday (Saturday) evening, breakdowns occurred on a unit each at Tutuka, Camden and Majuba power stations.”
Mantshantsha says a generating unit each at Hendrina and Majuba power stations returned to service on Sunday.
“We currently have 2 094MW on planned maintenance, while another 17 640MW of capacity is unavailable due to breakdowns.”
