According to Eskom’s latest announcement, the country can expect the return of stage 6 loadshedding this afternoon, commencing at 4pm until 5am on Thursday.
Thereafter, stage 5 will be implemented until 4pm on Thursday. The power utility says this pattern will be repeated daily until further notice. This comes as a result of a shortage in generation capacity. While two generation units were returned to service at Kriel Power Station over the past 24 hours, a generating unit at Duvha Power Station was taken offline for repairs.
Additionally, the delays in returning a unit to service at Camden, Kendal, Lethabo, Medupi and Tutuka Power Stations have contributed to the capacity constraints alongside the increase in demand following the long weekend and re-opening of schools. Breakdowns are currently at 16 772 MW of generating capacity while the generating capacity out of service for planned maintenance has reduced to 5 807 MW.Due to a shortage of generation capacity, Stage 6 loadshedding will be implemented from 16:00until 16:00 on Thursday
