ESKOM LIVE | Back to Stage 5 - indefinitely - after another 5 generating units fail
Stage 5 load shedding will be implemented until further notice after the failure of five generating units, including three from Medupi, Eskom said on Saturday. This follows an announcement on Friday that there would be a respite from higher stages over the weekend.
Load shedding will be reduced to Stage 3 and 4 over the weekend due to a slowdown in demand, Eskom said on Friday afternoon. He resigned from Eskom in 2012 pending a disciplinary process and the outcome of a forensic investigation. A case of fraud was opened at the SA Police Service, to which Masina pleaded guilty.More Stage 6 as breakdowns approach 19 000 MW
Breakdowns are currently at 17 702MW of generating capacity while the generating capacity out of service for planned maintenance is 3 702MW. Breakdowns are currently at 16 283MW of generating capacity while the generating capacity out of service for planned maintenance is 5 065MW, Eskom said. The utility said that members of the police's Illicit Mining and Economic Infrastructure Task Team stopped a fuel tanker after it delivered oil to the power station in Mpumalanga.
Over the past 24 hours a generation unit each at Camden, Koeberg and Medupi power stations were returned to service. In the same period, two generating units at Kriel power station were taken offline for repairs, Eskom said in a statement.
