Eskom announced on Wednesday that it will implement a stage two loadshedding from 5pm this afternoon until 10pm.
The announcement comes after the power utility recently indicated that should units fail to return as expected, the power system will be severely constrained, presenting an increased probability of loadshedding at short notice.
“This morning two generation units at Hendrina Power Station and one at Matimba Power Station were taken offline for repairs. One generation unit at Arnot Power Station was returned to service.
“A generation unit each at Kusile and Tutuka power stations is expected to return to service this afternoon,” Eskom said
