Ramokgopa: Slight improvement in power grid after Kusile generating unit returns
Minister of Electricity Kgosientsho Ramokgopa reported a slight grid improvement following a week of severe bouts of load shedding.
The country was subjected to stage 6 power cuts for some of the week due to the failure of generating units.
On Sunday, Ramokgopa announced the return of a generating unit at the Kusile Power Station, reducing load shedding by one stage.
But he said they would continue with planned maintenance.
“I really want to congratulate Mr Nxumalo. This is a date that they had set for themselves. Thank you very much to Mr Nxumalo, and thanks to the team. Unit 4 is back online, so essentially, we are getting 800 megawatts.”
Load shedding is currently suspended, and stage 2 will be implemented from 4 p.m. on Sunday.
