Stage 6 load-shedding has been implemented from 16:00 today until further notice.

Eskom said in a media statement that load-shedding has been increased due to the failure of several generating units, and a delay in returning generating units to service.

“This is anticipated to persist throughout the week. Eskom will publish a further update as soon as any significant changes occur.”

According to the power utility, breakdowns currently stand at 19 333MW of generating capacity, while generating capacity that is unavailable due to planned maintenance stands at 4 524MW.
