Load shedding will be pushed higher this week.
Power utility Eskom says that load shedding will be pushed up to stage 4 on Thursday as the grid comes under more pressure.
The delays in returning a unit to service at Hendrina, Medupi, and two units at Tutuka have added to the capacity constraints, Eskom said. Work on the Koeberg plant north of Cape Town has stalled and is running weeks late, adding to energy shortages that have led to daily power cuts to protect the system from a complete blackout.
