This was after Eskom had initially anticipated Stage 2 for the weekend, but quickly escalated to Stage 4 on Saturday. Two generating units at Hendrina and one at Lethabo Power Station had tripped on Saturday morning.<\/p>\n

“Since yesterday afternoon a generating unit each at the Arnot, Hendrina, Tutuka and two at the Lethabo Power Station were returned to service,” Eskom said on Sunday morning.<\/p>\n

“A generating unit each at the Duvha and Camden power stations were taken offline for repairs.”<\/p>\n

Eskom currently has 4 009MW out on planned maintenance, while 14 515MW of capacity is unavailable due to breakdowns.<\/p>\n
