Thursday, 02 March 2023: Stage 4 loadshedding will continue to be implemented until 16:00 today. Thereafter, Stage 5 loadshedding will be implemented from 16:00 today until 05:00 on Friday. Stage 4 loadshedding will then be implemented from 05:00 on Friday until 05:00 on Saturday, whereafter it will be reduced to Stage 3 loadshedding until 16:00 on Saturday. Stage 4 will again be implemented from 16:00 on Saturday until 05:00 on Sunday. A further update will be published as soon as any significant changes occur.

In the past 24 hours, a generating unit each at Camden, Lethabo and Tutuka power stations were returned to service. Breakdowns at a unit each at Duvha, Lethabo, and Majuba power stations caused units to be taken offline for repairs.

The delay in returning a unit each to service at Kendal and Duvha power stations are contributing to the current capacity constraints.

Breakdowns currently amount to 17 149MW of generating capacity while 4 950MW of generating capacity is out of service for planned maintenance.

ENDS
