ESKOM LIVE | Small reprieve as Stage 5 and 4 load shedding planned over weekend

Load shedding will be reduced to Stage 5 on Saturday and Stage 4 on Sunday, Eskom said on Friday.

"The delays in returning a unit to service at Kendal, Tutuka and two units at Medupi power stations have contributed to the capacity constraints and the team is working around the clock to ensure that these units are returned to service as soon as possible."Stage 6 load shedding will remain in force until further notice, Eskom said on Thursday.

There have been delays in returning a unit to service at Kendal, Lethabo, Medupi and Tutuka power stations. * This post has been updated to reflect that a pattern of alternating Stage 5 and 6 will continue until further notice. An earlier version referred only to Stage 6. News24 regrets the error.Stage 5 load shedding will now be implemented continuously until further notice due to higher-than-expected demand, Eskom announced on Wednesday. Stage 3 load shedding will kick in from 17:00 this afternoon to 16:00 on Tuesday.

Of course if we don't need a state of disaster, why should we be in court? That would have been one of a range of considerations we madePFMA does make allowances to use provisions for procurement on an emergency basis. Ramokgopa: Withdrawal of Eskom exemption is a conversation that is outside this domain. It is an accounting issueRamokgopa: To say the actions by the minister of communication, or DTIC, those additional instruments remain in place.

Nkadimeng repealed all regulations made under the state of disaster, turning back the legal clock so that it is as if they were never made.Government has officially terminated the national state of disaster it implemented just under two months ago to deal with SA's energy crisis. In the same period, a generating unit each at Duvha, Hendrina and Kriel power stations was taken offline for repairs. The delays in returning a unit to service at Duvha and Tutuka power stations have contributed to the capacity constraints, Eskom said.Due to higher-than-anticipated demand and failure of some generating units, Stage 4 load shedding will be implemented until further notice, Eskom announced on Friday evening.

The full schedule is available below, with Stage 3 load shedding from 05:00 until 16:00 on Saturday, followed by Stage 4 load shedding until 05:00 on Sunday. At 05:00 on Sunday, Stage 2 load shedding will be implemented until 16:00. Then Stage 3 load shedding will implemented from 16:00 on Sunday until 16:00 on Monday, Eskom said.

Stage 3 will be implemented from 05:00 on Friday until 05:00 on Saturday. Then Stage 2 will be implemented from 05:00 on Saturday until 05:00 on Sunday. On Tuesday and Wednesday Stage 1 load shedding will be implemented between 05:00 and 16:00, with Stage 2 from 16:00 to 05:00.Load shedding will remain at Stage 2 until 05:00 on Saturday, Eskom said on Friday. Thereafter, Stage 1 load shedding will be implemented until 16:00 on Saturday.

Stage 3 load shedding will be implemented from 16:00 on Wednesday until 05:00 on Thursday. This pattern will be repeated until further notice. Stage 2 loadshedding will be implemented from 16:00 on Monday until 05:00 on Tuesday, while loadshedding will be again suspended from 05:00 until 16:00 on Tuesday.Eskom said it would publish a further update as soon as any significant changes occur, with breakdowns currently at 15 645MW of generating capacity while 4 942MW of generating capacity is out of service for planned maintenance.

Woza weekend until Sunday midnight

Means nothing, all the same, Ronald Mc Donald.

No reprieve at all

Eskom_SA will bring it up to stage 6 again. GwedeMantashe1 little minions are had at work, breaking, sabotaging, hiding tools. The MYANC under CyrilRamaphosa is a failed state. A failed GovernmentZA. We cannot even have electricity for 50% of the day

I want a refund of my income tax and rates from CoJ! We have been off 3x this week for 8-10hours because CityPowerJhb can not manage their grid and its keeps tripping out so instead of 4 hours, we get 8+ offline… Hows the new puppet mayor? So sick of this council and nat gov!

What reprieve, it makes no difference, loadshedding still exists whether 5,4,3,2 or 1...mxm

Reprieve? Stage 5 and 6 is the same

Then Monday we'll jump to stage 9.

Loadshedding is giving us problems in South Africa, I wonder🤔 when will Loadshedding end.

I just saw stages 5 and 6? Not 4 and 5?

Smal reprive you say MUST WHE BE HAPPY OR SOMETHING IS THAT WHAT THEY CALL REDUCED TO STAGE 5 NOW 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Once again wasting diesel on the weekend when no factories are producing.
