Stage 3 load-shedding to be implemented until Thursday morning
Eskom announces no reprieve, but also no escalation in the current stage of rolling power cuts for the week ahead.
Stage 3 load-shedding is on Eskom’s forecast until Thursday morning.
This is according to the power utility’s latest planned power cut schedule, which indicates load-shedding will remain implemented at its current stage until 05:00 on Thursday.
Spokesperson Daphne Mokwena says they have recovered some emergency reserves for the week, and therefore no escalation in the current stage is needed.
“Eskom power station general managers and their teams are working diligently to ensure that 2 721MW of generating capacity is returned to service by Wednesday. Planned outages which are implemented to improve the reliability of the generation fleet are currently at 8 843MW while unplanned outages are at 13 981MW of generating capacity,” she explains.
Mokwena says the system will continue to be monitored, and that any changes to the schedule will be communicated if ‘any significant changes occur’.
