- Eskom to implement Stage 3 load shedding.
- Three units at Kendal power stations have returned to service.
Not long after South Africa’s load shedding was reduced from Stage 4 to Stage 2, Stage 3 load shedding will kick in very soon.
South African power company Eskom stated that Load shedding Stage 3 would resume soon to sort out the power challenges they have been experiencing in the past weeks.
The power utility will publish a further update on Friday afternoon or as soon as any further significant changes occur.
A unit each at Duvha, Medupi and three at Kendal power stations have returned to service. However, a generation unit each at Arnot, Camden, Tutuka and Kusile power stations remains out of service following breakdowns.
Eskom reiterated that load shedding is implemented only as a last resort because of the shortage of generation capacity and the need to attend to breakdowns.
