- Stage 6 loadshedding persist is South Africa with blackouts lasting for up to ten hours or more at times.
South Africa’s state owned and state run power utility, Eskom, reports that breakdowns are currently at 18 972MW of generating capacity while the generating capacity out of service for planned maintenance is 3 222MW.
Over the past 24 hours a generation unit each at Camden and Tutuka power stations were taken out of service due to breakdowns. The delay in returning units to service at Arnot, Camden, Duvha, Kendal, Kriel, Lethabo, Matimba, Matla and Tutuka power stations continue to add to the current capacity constraints.
