ESKOM will implement Stage 6 load-shedding on Sunday evening from 8pm until 5am on Monday morning, the power utility confirmed.
The power utility implemented Stage 6 load-shedding on Saturday night to replenish its emergency reserves and warned that the same might be required on Sunday.
Eskom warned that, due to the high amount of breakdowns, there is a possibility of further changes on the stages of load shedding at short notice.
“A further update will be published as soon as any significant changes occur,” Eskom said.
Over the past 24 hours, a generating unit each at Camden, Duvha and Lethabo power stations suffered breakdowns and were taken offline for repairs.
The return to service of two generating units at Drakensberg and a unit each at Kendal and Tutuka power stations are delayed.
Two generating units at Lethabo Power Station were returned to service during the period.
Breakdowns currently amount to 19,385MW of generating capacity, while 3,566W of generating capacity is out of service for planned maintenance.
