Johannesburg – Eskom on Monday said it would continue to assess the power situation and may adjust its load shedding plan as it continues to bring units back online.
The utility has extended stage two load shedding until Wednesday morning.
It said it experienced problems at five power stations at the weekend adding to its list of breakdowns.
But it returned two units back to operation at the Matimba and Medupi power stations.
“We currently have 12,900 megawatts out on unplanned maintenance and breakdowns while another 6,500 is out on planned maintenance. This is what has led to our inability to meet the demand,” said spokesperson Sikhonathi Mantshantsha.
