The Koeberg Nuclear Power Station came to the rescue when Unit 1 returned to service and helped keep the power on yesterday.
Eskom suspended load shedding after Unit 1 returned following a planned outage, adding an extra 900MW to the system, the power utility said yesterday.
Unit 1 was out of commission for maintenance but, switched back on last week, slowly started feeding power to the national grid.
Eskom said: “Our teams continue to work around the clock to return units from planned and unplanned outages. The additional capacity brought online, as well as lower demand over the weekend, has allowed us to replenish our pumped storage schemes and we continue to work to improve the levels of diesel at our open cycle gas turbine generators.”
