Eskom Holdings SOC Ltd., South Africa’s state power utility, will cut 6,000 megawatts of power from the grid from 4 p.m. Monday until 5 a.m. on Tuesday, instead of 5,000 megawatts, due to delays in returning 10 of its generating units to service.
The utility will thereafter cut 4,000 megawatts from the grid until 4 p.m. It will then repeat the pattern until further notice, it said in a statement on Twitter.
