After that, Stage 1 load-shedding will come into effect until 16:00 on Saturday and increase to Stage 4 until midnight.Eskom currently has 2,497MW of generation capacity offline for planned maintenance, with a further 16,546MW unavailable due to breakdowns. “Over the past 24 hours, a generating unit each at Kendal, Lethabo and two generation units at Camden power stations were returned to service,” it said.

“In the same period, a generation unit each at Arnot and Matla power stations were taken out of service due to breakdowns.” It added that further delays in returning a unit each at the Arnot, Grootvlei, and Hendrina power stations contributed to its current capacity constraints.The load-shedding schedule for the weekend is summarized in the table below.
