Eskom has just informed that Stage 6 load-shedding will be implemented from 6pm tonight.
“We regret and sincerely apologise that stage 4 load-shedding will move to Stage 6 load-shedding as from 18:00 today, as a result of a shortage of capacity. This follows a technical problem at Medupi Power Station impacting additional generation supply. The heavy rains has caused coal handling and operational problems at several power stations.
We remind and assure customers that load-shedding at Stage 6 is no cause for alarm as the system is being effectively controlled. Stage 6, requires 6000MW to be rotationally loadshed.
Eskom’s emergency response command centre and technical teams will be working through the night to restore units as soon
as possible. Eskom is working closely large industry to assist with further load curtailment.
Loadshedding is a responsible act and highly controlled process, implemented to protect the country from a national blackout.
