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.
Eish Eskom 😡
A state of emergency must be declared about electricity in order to know every detail about Eskom we are tired of lies
Can't wait to hear how much more they will be charging us for the electricity they can't even produce. 👊🤡
And the ANC conference couldn’t help us😢😢😢
Tf!!!!!!!
Parts of Jhb exempted as the ANC is having a conference. Is this a coincidence?
Maybe we should sue President Ramaphosa because due to loadshedding South African's water supply is also interrupted. He must be sued as per Section 27(1)(b).
Get rid of the ANC!
Rest of the country Stage 6 while NASREC and surrounding areas are exempted from loadshitting while 3,000 criminals make plans to loot the State coffers?
Really?
😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡
Stage 8 incoming
Fusek
So the white guy t the top wasn't the problem? Go figure.
Just had a good 4hrs of shedding I'll be shedding again before 5 then later and midnight...but then eskom can have 3 day break in some parts of Gp how convenient just in time of the conference🙄
way dont be you rael and stop talking shit to south africa people and put of the hole eskom power grit how can stuf be fix if you put on aff on off the hole time you can not think anything if you put it on off on off break
And the white man hasn't officially left yet... 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 SA is just another African faiee state.
MYANC CyrilRamaphosa eNCA it's still Andre's fault then? as he has been the only CEO under loadshedding that started in 2008? The decay of the ANC that can't maintain anything, sad to say but P.W Botha was not incorrect in saying you all (ANCGOV) will not build or maintain
As expected.
The Government Needs To Lower The 'Retirement Age'... Cause These Old People Are Definitely Sleeping On The Job!
The lying stealing corrupt incompetent ANC prove every second of every single day why they are a crime against humanity and all Life!!
Well I Think Solar Is The Future & Solution To End All This Crap, Ekskom🗑️ Invest In Solars
We should all go the the ANC Premiers houses and go take their solar and their generators, they are not affected by this Loadshedding us as tax payers are paying for their solar panales and generators PresidencyZA Eskom_SA CyrilRamaphosa GautengANC
CyrilRamaphosa promising 7 years ago loading shedding would end in 18 months is the equivalent of “trust me bro”
You know at this point I’m inclined to find out who is making money off this shit show and get into bed with them coz I’m tired of getting screwed for being the abiding citizen.
Privatize eskom
Let’s just stop paying for things we don’t have
Why does Eskom just tell us when the lights will be on rather
This is Utter Bullshit Enough is Enough 😡😡😡😡😡
I always find it interesting that all units can breakdown all at once. Do they have a reporting system of sorts?!🤦♂️
Lol, this was expected. 😄😄😄
To everyone talking about 'stop voting ANC ' : The voters don't use Twitter, they are on TikTok, dancing, beefing,crying and joking about relationships and Netflix shows 🤗
They don't care anymore. We may be plunged into stage 10. They have achieved their goal. He has resigned and probably his master is also going this weekend. They're now licensed to f us from behind.
These people are getting paid millions just to increase loadshedding schedules... Make that make sense. 7 years in the making and it gets worse
Useless is as useless does
Hayike Eskom over to you my dhye 🫠
TrevorMiltonhof Seems like fire pools and couches stuffed full of dollars cannot keep the lights on DarkAfrica
Where is the big nose guy?
Eskom is chewing us guys yoooh 🤔
🤣😂😂😂
🤣😂😱
Why...They said loadshedding will be gone when the ceo resign?
Eskom_SA I would be shocked.. but dololo electricity. I thought de Ruyter was the problem and we would be relieved from loadshedding. Isn't that what was bandied about? Asking for a few million friends.
Keep voting ANC and you will be in darkness the rest of your lives. What a bunch of useless corrupt thieves we have supposedly managing the country. Shameless , corrupt, incompetent and callous. 🤮
Please, you are a respected news agency It is DOWNGRADED TO STAGE 6 not ramped up No one is going higher any where with more outages
So who is causing load shedding now.. I thought it was De Ryter
CyrilRamaphosa Eskom_SA THEDEVCHEV eNCA 947 Radio702 Can someone PLEASE do something. How can it take 29 hours to fix something. Clearly this is incompetence at its highest especially as the same issue occurred beginning of this week. We have no power. SundownerOutage
CyrilRamaphosa will fix eskom in two years time like he said. Don't panic South Africa
Can't we as a country take Eskom to court or something? Because wow💔😭
SOUTH AFRICANS ARE ONLY CONCERNED ABOUT FOREIGNERS, THAT TIME ANC IS RUNNNING THE COUNTRY DOWN
I woke to 5 hours of darkness this morning. Isn't it wonderful? 😒
You’ve got to be fucking kidding 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
Very sad indeed
Once they say over 6 generators .... bla bla blah .... just know it's not stage 6 .... ke bo 8 and some places will even get higher stages than 6.
Actually too despondent to 🤬🤬🤬🤬
Quite frankly we don’t care anymore
Mantashe and Gordhan manipulating the signing of the Karpowership agreement. Who else will benefit from sabotage.
We live in a country where dictatorship is the leadership style, where the government views themselves as royalty and we are the subjects with no opinion, MYANC your monarchy is falling! National elections couldn't come fast enough! Eskom_SA Action4SA Our_DA
And on a public holiday when most powerusers, like factories, are closed. We are left to our own devices to survive, while politicians just talk.
I'll never respect Ramaphosa until he admits his party has failed and will continue to fail the people. That his organization BROKE eskom and that citizens are better off choosing an alternative in 2024. He knows its true but his taste for power is insatiable. What a curse!!!
So that Koko guy spoke 💩 yesterday when he said when Andre resigned LS is over 🤡🤡
Yeah fok you Eskom . Didnt know Stevie wonder was working on the repairs !! Sabotage Kakpraat Useless Boswellcircus KakANC ANCMUSTGONOW
It's all for the diesel contracts to kick in
Of course...
They are responsible for my anger issues
Maybe a march to the ANC meeting over the weekend?
I knew it go to stage six
CoCT We were only supposed to go off at 4pm....not now. Damn....washing machine in on. Eskom..please stick to your bloody schedules.
Is this gonna apply at the Conference too?
I thought when he resign loadshedding will end
Then someone out there wants the useless cyril to get a 2nd term🖕🏾
Coke month end, we have a higher electricity bill! Loadshedding stage6 stage5 loadsheddingsa incompetent
It’s time we head off to Megawatt Park and demand answers! This is becoming a dictatorship that we all just accept!
Ja ne…
Sabotage
So businesses are shutting down from yesterday and we are now moving to stage 6? Stage 8 is coming. Why are the people who are getting caught sabotaging Eskom not being trialed for treason
😂😂😂 so glad I've left
Eskom is failing us truly.
Quick Quick Quick. Blame de Reyter...it's your last chance.
I see Zuma's hand in all this. He is ruthless that man and will do everything to sink SA.
Bet you all, with so much loadshedding, your electricity bill will be the same or higher, this is all a money making scheme, save their power, bill you the same, make billions to steal, common sense.
Just make it 10 during the ANC conference and let them discuss in the dark.
Sabotage.
Mxm
But Andre is the problem🤡🤡🤡
Eskom they are not taking us serious as human's.
Why? I thought the problem resigned and all was well?
Nx
What a useless bunch. ESKOM and SA Government. Possibly the two most useless organisations on the planet. No hope I’m afraid. Neither are doing anything of substance to fix this.
These pple deserve hell
This is for all the peeps still voting for the ANC 👌
Just make us permanently stage 2 so we can live our lives to the schedule. Tsek
We're in fresh hell
Eskom_SA what now, did the coal get wet? Did your colleagues throw rocks into the machines? Is die diesel klaar? Or are you guys self sabotaging again for the fun of it? Or did the same conveyor belt break for the 100th time this month?
While the thieves meet, the rest of South Africa suffers myanc ANC55 No matter what the outcome is we will still be rule by a criminal syndicate. Regime change is the only way out. Viva regime change!
Everyone is either braaing or travelling today and we have been pushed to stage 6. Wow😂
Stage 8 is coming y’all… there’s a reason it’s on the ESP app - it’s all planned
