National power utility, Eskom, says it expects two units at the Kendal Power Station to be returned to service early this week.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
This comes after the power station\u2019s Unit 1 tripped in the early hours of Saturday morning, causing Units 2 and 3 to lose vacuum and be subsequently shut down.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
In a statement, the state-owned power utility said although the power station\u2019s Unit 1 will be returned to service in November, alternate sources of energy will be used.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\u201cWhile Eskom will be forced to increase diesel consumption, we do not anticipate that any load shedding will be implemented as a result of the incident. We urge members of the public to continue using electricity sparingly to assist the country.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\u201cEskom will keep the public informed should there be any significant change in the power system,\u201d the statement said.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Eskom has advised the Tweeling community in the Free State that the area\u2019s current interrupted electricity supply may last until Tuesday.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Power supply to the town has been interrupted since Saturday evening due to a failure of Tweeling Transformer 11.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\u201cA replacement transformer required for the restoration of electricity supply to Tweeling\u2026is expected to arrive [Monday] evening. Once the transformer arrives on site, replacement will commence. If no complications are encountered, supply is expected to be restored by midday [on Tuesday],\u201d Eskom said in a statement.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
