July 2020: Eskom requests the public to use electricity sparingly as the power
generation system is severely constrained after two generation units tripped
earlier this evening. We lost a unit each at Medupi and at Tutuka power
stations, totalling about 1 300MW. This constrained supply situation may
persist through the weekend.
Eskom teams
are hard at work trying to return these units to service. The public’s
co-operation in managing demand will help us supply the country’s demand
through the peak periods.
