SA plunged into stage 6 load-shedding
In a statement, Eskom tried to assure South Africans that the move to stage 6 was not a cause for alarm.
"We remind and assure customers that load-shedding at stage 6 is no cause for alarm as the system is being effectively controlled. Stage 6 requires 6,000MW to be rotationally load-shed."that its emergency response command centre and technical teams"will be working through the night to restore units as soon as possible".
"Eskom is working closely [with] large industry to assist with further load curtailment. Load-shedding is a responsible act and [a] highly controlled process, implemented to protect the country from a national blackout. "After 2015, Eskom and the municipalities identified the need to extend the load-shedding stages up to stage 8 and the national code was subsequently updated.
"Even beyond these schedules, the system operator will reduce demand in a manner that is controlled."
