Sunday, 16 October 2022: Stage 2 loadshedding will be suspended at midnight tonight, then be implemented daily at 16:00 – 00:00 on Monday to Wednesday. The loadshedding is required to help manage emergency generation reserves during the evenings. Eskom will publish a further update on Wednesday, or as soon as any further significant changes occur.

Since yesterday afternoon two generation units at Grootvlei as well as a unit each at Kriel and Majuba power stations were returned to service. A generation unit at Lethabo power station was taken offline for repairs.

We currently have 5 244MW on planned maintenance, while another 15 612MW of capacity is unavailable due to breakdowns.

Loadshedding is implemented only as a last resort in view of the shortage of generation capacity and the need to attend to breakdowns.

ENDS
