Eskom says that four generation units were returned to service at Kriel, Matimba, Matla, and Tutuka power stations in the last 24 hours.

However, a generating unit each at Duvha, Hendrina, and Kriel power stations were taken offline for repairs.

It adds delays in returning a unit to service at each of the Duvha and Tutuka power stations had exacerbated generation capacity constraints.
