Eskom said late on Wednesday night that following a breakdown of a generation unit at Medupi, Stage 6 load shedding will continue until further notice.12 April 15:07Stage 6 load shedding will be rolled out from 16:00, Eskom said on Wednesday afternoon.
Thereafter, Stage 5 load shedding will be implemented from 16:00 on Tuesday until 5:00 on Wednesday, when Eskom will revert to Stage 3 during the day.Stage 2 load shedding will kick in at 17:00 on Sunday, Eskom has said. Eskom has said it will provide an update on Monday afternoon about its plans for the week. Stage 2 load shedding will be implemented at 17:00 Saturday afternoon until 05:00 on Sunday morning.
Ramokgopa: The minister of electricity is still seized with the responsibility of dealing with load shedding Ramokgopa: Part of the interventions cabinet and president considered with the state of disaster to enhance existing instruments. It is already question-and-answer time.
Minister of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs Thembi Nkadimeng said in a gazette published just before noon on Wednesday that the state of disaster was terminated. Stage 4 load shedding will be implemented from Friday afternoon until 05:00 on Saturday, Eskom said in a statement.This comes as breakdowns have increased to 15 388MW of generating capacity, while the generating capacity out of service for planned maintenance increased to 7 169MW.
* Correction: This story has been updated in line with a second statement issued by Eskom, which noted that Stage 4 load shedding had been implemented from shortly after 13:00 on Friday, not 16:00 as previously communicated by the utility. Stage 3 load shedding was implemented at 18:11 on Wednesday due to a"higher than anticipated demand experienced" in the evening.
Breakdowns have reduced to 15 089MW of generating capacity while the generating capacity out of service for planned maintenance has increased to 7 147MW, Eskom said in a statement. Stage 2 load shedding will be implemented from 16:00 on Saturday until 05:00 on Sunday, when load shedding will be suspended.
According to Eskom, this is due to a slight improvement in available generation capacity and lower-than-anticipated demand.Eskom has announced that load shedding will be suspended at 11:00 on Monday, and will continue again at Stage 2 from 16:00 on Tuesday. During the last 24 hours a generating unit at Duvha power station was taken offline for repairs, it said, while the delays in returning units to service at Matla, Tutuka and Medupi power stations continue.Load shedding will continue to be implemented at Stage 1 until further notice, Eskom said in a message on Saturday.
Load shedding will then again be suspended from 05:00 on Tuesday until 16:00; thereafter, Stage 2 will be implemented until further notice.Due to further improvements in the generation capacity over the past 24 hours, Stage 2 load shedding will be implemented from 12:00 midday on Friday until further notice.
Over the past 48 hours, the repairs to the damaged towers from Cahora Bassa in Mozambique were completed and restored to full capacity, Eskom said in a statement on Ttuesday. This will last until 16:00 on Monday, where it will jump to Stage 5 until 05:00 on Tuesday. The cuts will alternate between the two stages at the same times every day until further notice.
Lol this country angers and agitates us so much with its hypocrisy and greed yet we just carry on living with the conditions imposed. Complain but no courage, that's why our ministers laugh all the way to the bank.
But why? Because we are using prepaid also we owing Eskom absolutely nothing, this is bullshit 😒
Open the grid !! Let other power suppliers sort out eskoms shortfalls
Kgosientsho_R is nothing more than a distraction from the truth: the MYANC and GwedeMantashe1 are the master minds behind Eskom_SA breakdowns. These are manufactured, in order to push Karpower and emergency procurement for tools and repairs, which they are profiting from
