LATEST ON BREAKDOWNS

Eskom said breakdowns have increased to 16 943MW of generating capacity while the generating capacity out of service for planned maintenance is 3 761MW.

The power utility said the delay in returning to service a generating unit each at Kendal and two generating units at Tutuka power stations is contributing to the current capacity constraints.
