Stage 4 load-shedding continues on Wednesday: your schedule

Stage 4 load-shedding will continue from 9am on Wednesday morning after Eskom had reduced it to stage 2 at 11pm last night.

Koeberg Unit 1 was disconnected from the grid due to a fault on the turbine section. The nuclear reactor remains safe.

The seawater circulating water pump was damaged and it is expected that repairs will take a number of days.

The loss of about 930MW in Koeberg put further strain on the generation fleet, necessitating an increase in the stage of load-shedding. Unplanned breakdowns were at 12 046MW at 5.50pm on Tuesday evening, and planned maintenance outages at 6 155MW.
