Eskom said it will implement Stage 2 and Stage 4 load-shedding on Sunday, 16 July, to help replenish its emergency reserves.
Eskom revealed that it suspended load-shedding at 01:35 on Sunday, 16 July 2023, as it has adequately replenished pumped storage dam levels.
The rotational power cuts will remain suspended until 08:00, after which the power utility will implement Stage 2 load-shedding and increase to Stage 4 at 16:00.“Stage 2 load-shedding will be implemented from 08:00 until 16:00 today, followed by Stage 4 load-shedding until 05:00 on Monday.” The power utility said Stage 2 and Stage 4 load-shedding is necessary as it still needs to replenish emergency diesel reserves at its Open Cycle Gas Turbine power stations.
“The pumped storage dam levels have been adequately replenished for the week ahead. Diesel levels at the OCGT power stations have improved but remain low.”
