Stage 4 load shedding implemented with immediate effect

Eskom says further breakdowns necessitate stage 4 load shedding, which will be implemented with immediate effect until 05:00 on Monday morning.

Currently 4 423MW of capacity is out on planned maintenance, while another 16 708MW is unavailable due to breakdowns.Load shedding will be suspended at midnight on Sunday, Eskom announced. However, there will be a small reprieve in the evenings, with no Stage 3 as had previously been communicated. Thanks to diesel supplied by PetroSA, Eskom will be able to reduce load shedding to Stage 3 from Stage 4 during the night, Eskom said. This is expected to last until Monday morning.

The electric company lacks funds to run the units in order to avoid or minimize power cuts for the rest of the financial year. The increased load shedding is mainly due to the high levels of breakdowns and the depleted emergency generation reserves, Eskom said. "Changes in the stages of load shedding will be more erratic due to the absence of the buffer that is normally provided by the diesel generation capacity between generating unit breakdowns," the power utility said.

The utility, which is waiting for more details on government’s plan to take on a significant portion of its R400 billion debt, says that it is now financially untenable to burn more diesel at its Open Cycle Gas Turbines."We will be forced to implement load shedding because we don't have the money to burn diesel," COO Jan Oberholzer said at Eskom’s state of the system briefing.

There are expectations from government and Eskom’s new chair Mpho Makwana for the utility to hit a 75% energy availability factor soon."Where we find ourselves now, it looks like a steep hill … However, we need additional capacity, in order for generation colleagues to properly maintain their plants," Oberholzer said.

Then there are fools out there who still defend the useless president and want him to get a 2nd term!

Is your president still busy in the aeroplane?

You can't make this stuff up, this is the same Eskom lead by a guy who say we must 'transition' away from petrol powered to electric cars. What does he know about our power grid to make such a statement? Then again Noam Chomsky did once say ...

So this has become normalized? I mean we pay for the fucken services but we only receive half?

Mayb like covid stats, yall need to stop telling us....i mean experts say we are living with covid, we are too living with blackouts..... Seems logical.

Fire the useless management of Eskom, how many years do they need to get things under control

Eskom will be subjected to a forensic investigation and evergreen contracts will come to an end especially those of reputable international thieves like glencore. Their days are numbered.

Eskom as you always announce loadshedding on this platform how about expanding that to include staff reduction starting with the unqualified and cadre deployed staff. Just a suggestion

woohoo!

It's now a norm ' Panyaza/Malema will encourage the jobless to shutdown the national roads for something that doesn't affect their lives instead of shutting down the eskom offices
