.Eskom_SA has warned that Loadshedding could last for the rest of the week as a result of more constraints on the generation system.
He said generators broke down at Arnot, Medupi, Lethabo and Matla power stations, while two units each at Majuba, Camden and Tutuka power stations had also broken down.
He said any further deterioration in the generation performance may necessitate the escalation of loadshedding at short notice. Barry Bredenkamp, general manager Energy Efficiency and Corporate Communications at Sanedi, said it was reported that there had been an economic loss of R338billion over the past 10 years because of load shedding, with last year being the worst year on record for blackouts.
