Eskom has announced that load-shedding will escalate to stage 6.
Eskom has announced stage 6 load-shedding will be implemented from 05:00 on Tuesday until further notice.“Overnight, a further two units at Lethabo and Matla power stations will need to be shut down for urgent repairs. Eskom will publish another update should any significant changes occur,” the state-owned power utility said.
Eskom said that since Sunday, a generating unit each at Kriel and Medupi power stations was taken offline for repairs. “The delay in returning to service a generating unit each at Hendrina and Tutuka power stations is also contributing to the current capacity constraints.”Eskom’s load forecast for the evening peak demand is 28,603MW.
