Eskom announces Stage 3 load-shedding

Eskom has announced that it is implementing Stage 3 load-shedding from 20:00 on Thursday.

This Stage 3 load-shedding will run until 05:00 on Friday, at which point Eskom will suspend load-shedding until 16:00.

Eskom will then provide an update on Friday afternoon – or earlier if necessary – about its load-shedding plans for the weekend.

The power utility had previously announced that there would be all-day load-shedding relief from 05:00 on Thursday until further notice.

Eskom explained that it had to change its plans to replenish the low dam levels at Eskom’s pumped storage power stations.

“Unplanned outages remain stable at 14,366MW and planned maintenance slightly increased to 6,307MW,” said Eskom.
