The breakdowns included two units at Grootvlei and one each at the Camden and Medupi power stations.
In addition, the utility has experienced a delay in returning a generating unit to service at the Lethabo power station.
“We currently have 5,244MW on planned maintenance, while another 16 455MW of capacity is unavailable due to breakdowns,” Eskom said. “Load-shedding is implemented only as a last resort in view of the shortage of generation capacity and the need to attend to breakdowns,” it added.That means the latest reprieve from load-shedding will only have lasted 14 hours.
