Eskom has warned that an expected cold front this weekend will add strain to the grid, especially at evening peak hours from 17:00 until 21:00.
The loss of capacity at the three Kusile units and the Koeberg unit together removed 3 080MW - equivalent to three stages of load shedding – from the grid. Eskom said breakdowns are currently at 17 093MW of generating capacity, while the generating capacity out of service for planned maintenance is 6 392MW.
Breakdowns have increased to 18 617MW of generating capacity while the generating capacity out of service for planned maintenance is 5 807MW. It will continue until 05:00 on Thursday, when Stage 5 will kick in until 16:00 on Thursday. The pattern will be repeated daily until further notice. Stage 4 load shedding will be implemented from 16:00 on Wednesday until 05:00 on Friday, Eskom said in a statement on Wednesday afternoon.
Nkadimeng : Gazette and statement was released to tell the public it was terminated and repealed with immediate effectMinister of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs Thembi Nkadimeng and Minister of Electricity Kgosientsho Ramokgopa will brief the media at 14:00 on Wednesday. As of early Wednesday afternoon, the electricity situation is no longer a disaster.
"All regulations and directions made in terms of section 27 of the [National Disaster] Act pursuant to the declaration of the national state of disaster to deal with the impact or the severe electricity supply constraint is hereby repealed with immediate effect."On Monday, Stage 3 load shedding will be implemented from 05:00 until 16:00, while Stage 4 will be implemented from 16:00 until 05:00 on Tuesday, Eskom said in a statement on Sunday.
In the past 24 hours, hours two generation units were returned to service at Lethabo and Medupi power stations, but a generating unit each at Hendrina, Matimba and two units at Matla power stations were taken offline for repairs. This will continue until 16:00 on Thursday, when previously communicated load shedding schedules will resume, it said. For the first time in more than two weeks, South Africa will be hit by Stage 4 load shedding, which is currently planned for Thursday evening.
Over the past 24 hours, a generation unit was returned to service at Duvha Power Station. In the same period, a generating unit each at Lethabo, Kendal and Kriel power stations was taken offline for repairs. The delays in returning a unit to service at Hendrina, Medupi and two units at Tutuka power stations have contributed to the capacity constraints, Eskom said in a statement.
On Sunday afternoon, however, Stage 1 load shedding will be implemented from 16:00 until 16:00 on Monday. The power utility said in a short announcement that this was due to"significantly lower than anticipated demand for electricity." Load shedding remains suspended until Monday morning, when Stage 1 will be implemented
In a follow-up message, Eskom said this meant that Stage 2 will not be implemented on Sunday evening as had previously been communicated. * This update has been corrected with new information not initially communicated by Eskom. Load shedding will be suspended on Sunday, Eskom said, but it's a short reprieve as Stage 1 and Stage 2 will be implemented intermittently thereafter.
Do you mean Stage 8? / 10.
Bring back the National Party so that they can fix this country & Escom and ban this corrupt a.n.c.!!!!!😠😠😠😠😠😠
Thabo Bester every day right now we on stage 8 mxm
Eskom workers want increments
You mean stage 8 right 🤔
I remember another publication saying MikeMakaab said Andile Jali is getting both international and local interests to join them. Makaab replied by saying 'when did I say this?'I just wonder what would happen one day if Koeberg can finally reply and say. When did I break down?
But everything was going to fix with Andre De ryter gone? Where are all those tweepers celebrating his departure?
And the workers demand 15% increase. This will continue till the day the government can not even print more money. And even then they will blame Apartheid
Ever since loadshedding started years back i never experienced a day like today. Power went off at 10am and came back at 18:33 (8 and half) straight hours of no power😭😭😭
Time for the EFF to their thing again , it seems. ANC government doesn't want to listen to the citizens of this country, well, then you must feel.
How the hell can Koeberg trip? Stop bloody lying 🤥. You want a 15% increase, and this is the only way you know of getting it. By blackmail. Bastards!!!!
Pravin is loud in his silence.
Congratulations Eskom
Whose behind this headline?
I don't understand this situation at all. Andre De Ruyter is long gone. Only Comrades and cadres are charge. Load shedding should be a thing of the past. So what's going on? MYANC Liberation movement GovernmentZA comrades and cadres? Eskom_SA GwedeMantashe1 PravinGordhanZA?
Have they tried turning it off and on again?
Eskom will linger with Stage 6 till we settle in with that idea, than usher in stage 8 or 9 never to go back to stage 1 or have load shedding ever again. It’s a total mind f*ck were being exposed to & still we as citizens do nothing.
The never-ending cANCerous incompetence destroying SA one day at a time 🤢🤮
Trip to where..?😂😂😂
I see the dire implications to the economy but what’s not so obvious is the negative psychological impact on the mood and morale of the general population
Reset the damn thing
Ey I miss Phomolong ukube angisukanga nje ngabe ngiyizwa ngendaba yonke lento😤
Even if nothing is tripping we still get loadshedding mos.
True 😂😂
Where did koeberg go to?
Min of Loadshedding was appointed to give us schedules 🤣
This reckless sabotage forcing SAns into darkness must be met with a revolution. Sadly when the EFF protested, some misguided people in dark criticised them. There's a reason gov't blocked investigation into Eskom corruption. Eskom's troubles is manufactured b/n gov't & Capital.
Does Eskom realize how despondent and depressed this loadshedding is making people feel. People are tired of hearing about sub stations tripping and these outages are making the people furious and frustrating. People now need to accommodate and live their lives around Eskom,
Juju nabo
The day SAns will realise that their stage 6 loadshedding for the past few days is as a result of a conveyor belt that spits ashes out in 1 of the plants, which ought to have been replaced very quickly with spares that they suppose to have, they'll revolt against ANC & Capital.
The new minister of electricity didn’t fix it? 😂
Stage 6 returns not because of a Koeberg trip, because the ANC has been government for 29 yrs. Today you call it Koeberg this, tomorrow it's Medupi that. All symptomatic. Root cause is the corrupt ANC. 500 billion stolen. People pay more for power than ever. Forever breakdown
R1.5 trillion investment secured by Cyril Ramaphosa CyrilRamaphosa loadshedding will be thing of the past TreasuryRSA
Someone forgot to tell Eskom_SA that April Fool’s is over…
Trips caused by what? On off on off
