Eskom ramps up load-shedding to stage 4 at 8pm
The delay in returning to service three generating units and the need to replenish emergency reserves has led to the implementation of stage 4 load-shedding from 8pm to 5am, says Eskom. Stock photo.

Eskom will ramp up load-shedding to stage 4 from 8pm on Wednesday until 5am on Thursday.
Stage 2 will then be implemented until 8pm, followed by stage 4 load-shedding until 5am on Friday.
Eskom said this pattern will be implemented until further notice because of the delay in returning to service three generating units and the need to replenish emergency reserves.
It said unplanned outages accounted for 16,193MW of generating capacity, while the capacity out of service for planned maintenance has reduced to 6,171MW.
