As a result, we implore everyone in South Africa to continue using electricity responsibly.

Eskom claims that the capacity issues have been made worse by the failure of a generation unit at the Arnot, Duvha, Kendal, Medupi, and Tutuka power stations as well as the delays in the turnaround of a unit at the Hendrina power station.

The Koeberg Nuclear Power Station’s unit 2 tripped from full power on Saturday, September 3, 2022, according to the utility, while doing routine testing on the control rod system.

“The procedure to put the unit back in service is under motion.”

The state-owned company claimed that although another 16 142MW of capacity is inaccessible because of outages, 4 588MW are currently undergoing planned repair.

“Eskom will swiftly inform you if there are any material changes.
