No load shedding is expected today as the generation capacity has sufficiently recovered overnight, Eskom said on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
Eskom instituted stage 2 load shedding overnight which lasted until 5 am this morning.<\/p>\n
According to the power utility, a generation unit each at the Tutuka, Duvha, Medupi and Hendrina power stations successfully returned to service, helping to boost generation capacity.<\/p>\n
Also, a further two-generation units are expected to return to service later today.<\/p>\n
\u201cEmergency generation reserves were also sufficiently replenished,\u201d Eskom said.<\/p>\n
The state-owned entity has since thanked the public for its patience and said it regrets the inconvenience caused by the implementation of power cuts.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Eskom is currently running on 4 775MW planned maintenance, while another 11 616MW of capacity is unavailable due to breakdowns and delays.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs previously communicated, the possibility of load shedding remains elevated while Eskom continues to implement reliability maintenance, and as such the system will continue to be constrained during this period.\u201d<\/p>\n
The power utility has urged citizens to use electricity sparingly as the system remains vulnerable and unpredictable.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe will communicate timeously should there be any significant changes to the power system,\u201d it said. \u2013 SAnews.gov.za<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" No load shedding is expected today as the generation capacity has sufficiently recovered overnight, Eskom said on Wednesday.
