Eskom to implement stage 4 load shedding from 9am to 11pm on Monday

The utility also reminds consumers to treat all electrical points as live during load shedding.

Eskom said on Monday it would commence stage 4 rotational load shedding from 9am to 11pm and continue into Tuesday due to a shortage of capacity.

Over the weekend, Eskom moved from stage 2 – which involves reducing the load by 2,000 MW – to stage 4 due to loss of power supply from Mozambique’s Cahora Bassa hydroelectric system which supplies 1,000MW to the South African grid but was affected by cyclone Idai. “Load shedding is a highly controlled process, implemented to protect the system and to prevent a total collapse of the system or a national blackout. During stage 4 load shedding, approximately 80% of the country’s demand is still being met.”
