“Eskom will continue to closely monitor the system, adjust and communicate any changes as may be necessary. We appeal to all South Africans to help limit the impact of the shortages by continuing to reduce the usage of electricity and to switch off all non-essential items,” Eskom said in a statement on Monday.
Eskom said there was currently 5 232MW on planned maintenance, while another 14 202MW of capacity is unavailable due to breakdowns.
