Some load shedding relief this weekend – but things can change quickly, Eskom warns.
Stage 4: 00h00 to 05h00Stage and time TBD“Eskom will publish a further update as soon as any significant changes occur,” it said.
Over the past 24 hours two generation units at Kendal and Kriel, and a unit each at Matimba and Medupi Power Stations were returned to service. The delays in returning a unit to service at Kriel and two units at Tutuka Power Stations have contributed to the capacity constraints. According to energy experts, demand is expected to ramp up significantly in the coming months as winter cod hits the country. This could see demand pushed as high as 37,000MW, which paints a worrying picture for load shedding.
