Probability of load-shedding 'remains high'─── 06:00 Thu, 11 Feb 2021
Eskom says the outlook for the power system remained unpredictable, therefore, the probability of more load-shedding was high.
The utility implemented stage 3 rolling blackouts from 1 pm on Wednesday and is expected to last until 6 am on Thursday.
Spokesperson Sikonathi Mantshantsha said the power generation system remained severely constrained due to the breakdown of several units.
He said technicians were working around the clock to ensure that the units were brought back online.
“Eskom will continue to assess and communicate promptly as the situation changes. This morning, a generation unit at three power stations failed to return to power.”
