JOHANNESBURG: South Africa's Eskom will shut a 930 megawatt unit at its Koeberg nuclear power station for three months to perform regular maintenance, the utility told 702 Talk Radio on Monday.
Cash-strapped Eskom has implemented rolling blackouts for six straight days due to tight electricity supplies caused by ailing infrastructure and technical faults.
Eskom said on its Twitter feed there was a 50 percent chance of more power cuts on Monday.
