The Presidency said it is confident government is on track to end load shedding and achieve energy security.
“Over the past 24 hours, a generating unit at Camden Power Station was taken offline for repairs. In the same period a generating unit each at Arnot, Grootvlei, Kendal and Majuba power stations was returned to service.
“The anticipated return to service of a generating unit at Matla Power Station has been delayed, further contributing to the current capacity constraints. Eskom teams are working tirelessly to return these generating units to service,” Mokwena added. Mokwena has appealed to the public to continue reducing demand by switching off non-essential appliances.
“We would like to thank those who do heed the call to use electricity sparingly and efficiently, including switching off geysers and pool pumps from 17:00 to 21:00, as this lowers demand and helps in alleviating the pressure on the power system and contributes to lower stages of load shedding.”
