Eskom attributed the need for higher stages of load-shedding to multiple unit breakdowns and delays in returning several units to service.
Eskom has announced that load-shedding will remain in stage 5 until 05:00 on Tuesday, 7 March 2023, after which it will drop to stage 4 until 16:00.
The power utility attributed the need for stage 5 load-shedding in the evenings and overnight to several unit breakdowns and delays in returning offline units to service. Eskom said repairs are continuing on two damaged towers from Cahora Bassa in Mozambique, and it anticipates that they will return to operation by next week.
