"The further delays in returning to service a generating unit each at Arnot, Camden, Kendal, Kriel, Matla and two units at Majuba power station has contributed to the capacity constraints. We currently have 6 014MW on planned maintenance, while another 17 278MW of capacity is unavailable due to breakdowns and delays in returning generators to service," he added.Stage three load shedding will kick in at 16:00 on Wednesday and remain in place until further notice, Eskom has said.

Stage 2 load shedding will be implemented from 5am on Wednesday until pm.Load shedding to resume on Monday "The suspension of load shedding on Christmas day is only possible due to the lower demand for electricity," said Eskom. Based on the current outlook - which does not foresee additional challenges on the system in the next day and a half, Oberholzer said emergency reserves will be utilised to try to avoid load shedding on Sunday."It's Eskom's intention not to have load shedding on Christmas," Eskom COO, Jan Oberholzer.
"Loadshedding depends on the actual status of the network at any given time to balance supply and demand. It therefore does not automatically mean less or lower stages of loadshedding over the festive period," it said. Stage 4 load shedding starts at 05:00The utility has yet to announce what the schedule for the rest of the week will look like. Stage 6 load shedding will be implemented from 20:00 on Tuesday night until 05:00 on Wednesday morning.

Thereafter, Stage 4 load shedding will be implemented at 05:00 on Tuesday for the remainder of the week. 16 Dec 2022This was necessary due to the failure of eight generating units overnight. Eskom has granted grants City Power some reprieve from load shedding in areas that experienced significant loss of electricity in large parts of Johannesburg.
Eskom currently has 6 618MW on planned maintenance, while another 15 996MW of capacity is unavailable due to breakdowns.1/2 Due to unusually high demand and the breakdown of a generating unit each at Hendrina, Kendal and Kriel power stations, loadshedding has unfortunately been escalated to Stage 5 until further notice.Eskom announced on Saturday that Stage 5 load shedding would be implemented until further notice.
Since Thursday morning, a generating unit each at Camden, Lethabo, Majuba and Matla power stations were taken offline for repairs and planned maintenance. "I met the board of Eskom yesterday [Wednesday]. I have directed them to meet and act with a great sense of urgency in order to ensure that the management of Eskom gets the country out of [Stage] 6 load-shedding with immediate effect," Gordhan said on Thursday afternoon.
Gordhan’s statement comes as Mining and Mineral Resources Minister Gwede Mantashe said on Thursday that Eskom"by not attending to load shedding, is actively agitating for the overthrow of the state".Eskom CEO André de Ruyter has repeatedly said that corruption, mismanagement, and lack of planning and maintenance have brought the power utility to this point.

_Business Clear as day, that sabotage has been ramped up to force de Ruyter out earlier than March and GwedeMantashe1 probably gave the order. Mantashe was vocal in his 'hate' for de Ruyter and now he is quiet. That points to him being complicit in this mess.
