Eskom has promised that load-shedding will not exceed stage 6 this week.
Eskom has announced that it will maintain stage 6 load-shedding until Friday morning at 05:00, reducing its rotational power cuts to stage 5 from Saturday.This will remove 930MW of capacity from the grid — nearly enough for a full stage of load-shedding.
The state-owned power utility said a unit at Matla Power Station returned to service late last night. This is because it has already spent R11 billion on diesel during its current financial year — double its budget. In addition to conserving its emergency diesel supply, Eskom said it must also replenish its pumped storage dam levels during this load-shedding.
