Stage 6 load shedding will be implemented from midday until further notice, Eskom announced.
"The refuelling and maintenance outage starting this week, as well as the long-term operation project of Unit 1 of the Koeberg Nuclear Power Station, together with the October chimney failure that has forced three generation units offline at Kusile Power Station, will further reduce available generation capacity and significantly increase the occurrence of load shedding during the next six to twelve months," Eskom said on Tuesday.
There is currently 6 392MW on planned maintenance, while another 16 318MW of capacity is unavailable due to breakdowns. There has also been a delay in return to service of "numerous" generating units, spokesperson Sikonathi Mantshantsha added. A generating unit each at Duvha, Grootvlei, Hendrina, Majuba and two units at Arnot Power Station, were taken offline for repairs over the past 24 hours.
Stage 2 load shedding will then be implemented daily from 16:00 throughout the night to 05:00 the following morning until further notice.The utility said that load shedding is required due to the high levels of breakdowns and the limited emergency generation reserves. A further three units at Kusile power station are offline due to October's duct failure and are expected to remain offline for months. Koeberg's unit 1, meanwhile, will generate at reduced output for the next three weeks. Eskom has 6 000 MW out on planned maintenance, with another 14 160MW out on breakdowns.
Stage 5 load shedding will be implemented during the evenings at 16:00 – 24:00 from Monday to Wednesday, and will vary between Stage 4 and Stage 2 during the day until Wednesday. Spokesperson Sikonathi Mantshantsha said this was due to a recovery in generating capacity and pumped storage dam levels. There is 4 887MW out on planned maintenance, while another 15 320MW of capacity is unavailable due to breakdowns"Stage 4 load shedding was implemented at 05:26 this morning until further notice," spokesperson Sikonathi Mantshantsha said.
Load shedding has hit a record 159 days thus far. The utility’s forecast for the rest of summer and winter next year predict even more load shedding and diesel spend. Where we find ourselves now, it looks like a steep hill. We have accepted the challenge to improve EAF of our fleet.

_Business thisIsFailure
_Business Imagine a CEO that has no clue about generating electricity but he is hired . When will he be fired ?
_Business De Ruyter must resign with immediate effect. He failed South Africa with flying colours
_Business Eskom, please shut the country down by switching ALL POWER OFF. Since our country's economy is fucked through & through, you insist on a thirty eight percent increase knowingly that South Africans cannot afford it.
_Business And yet certain people will still blame apartheid and other factors. Well done ANC we are on the verge of total blackout, The people who voted for you will be the people who suffer the most. Never forget it is Jan Skuld.
_Business So this is where the unions protect the criminals sabotaging Eskom, and there's Jack squat that can be done. Also looks like more tenders will be awarded to friends and family to steal more money and dig this country deeper into the manure. We're now drowning in shits creek.
_Business The only way to make money in South Africa now is crime and prostitution.
_Business the truth is we have people in government who knows absolutely nothing. they promise people everything for free & grants, they allow millions of illegal foreigners to our country, all this together is recipe for chaos, anarchy & disaster. sa won't survive this madness.
_Business Can't wait for stage 7
_Business what are eskom contractors fixing because everything seems broken. things aren't getting better but WORSE. the contractors are just chowing the money for nothing. who are these contractors?

_Business Eskom is unfixable! Stage 7 tomorrow! And still South Africans tolerate this shit! They tell lies!!!we are heading for a blackout switch off two smelters!!!that should at least add MW! Eskom is broken!!

_Business Who is supplying diesel to Eskom?
_Business Lead us Matamela Leaders South Africans 😂🤣😂🤣🤣😂🤡🤡🤡🤡
_Business Keep defending Cyril Ramaphosa who is busy fighting his personal battles and leaving out the main duty.
_Business Now i think Eskom doesnt have energy crisis, just the ANC officials made this loadshedding thing so that they can get enough money through the sales of diesel since our government gets most of the money from levies. Just think about it.
_Business De Ruyter is useless. The most useless CEO in the history of Eskom
_Business We are screwed without Vaseline 😭
_Business The government will continue to delay the necessity for alternative sources to this problem. It could implement solar power as a choice for consumers that we can pay. But no, they continue to flog this dying horse of a company. All for money.
_Business I wish we can stage 10 for the whole of 2023so that MYANC voters will open their eyes
