Zim Now Writer

South African power utility, Eskom has announced that Stage 6 load-shedding will remain until further notice, as generating units at Kriel and Koeberg power stations were taken offline for repairs.

“Breakdowns are currently at 17 481MW of generating capacity while the generating capacity out of service for planned maintenance is 5 657MW.

“Over the past 24 hours a generation unit each at Duvha and Medupi power stations were returned to service. In the same period, two generating units at Kriel, as well as one unit at Koeberg power stations were taken offline for repairs”.

Eskom added that there has been a delay in returning generating units at Kendal, Kriel, Medupi, and TuTuka power stations, which has put pressure on the grid. The energy company reassured citizens that its team is working tirelessly to return the units to service.
