South Africa is set to receive millions of Rands worth of Chinese equipment to combat loadshedding as Stage 6 becomes the norm again.
Eskom generated a surplus of energy at the weekend and the future of the utility looks incredibly hopeful.
Eskom hopes that bringing four units at Kusile online will effectively end the need for loadshedding by the end of the year.
Eskom managed to suspend loadshedding at the weekend thanks to the return of Unit 3 at Kusile Power Station.
Eskom wants to by-pass its flue-gas desulphurisation unit at Kusile which means more energy online faster, but an estimated eightfold increase in emissions.
Exactly a year ago, Eskom was granted a R20 billion loan from from the African Development Bank (AfDB) to finance Medupi and Kusile.
How does government plan to solve the Eskom crisis?
