2020: Eskom wishes to
confirm that due to the continuing severe generation supply constraints caused
by multiple unit breakdowns as well as the additional demand as a result of the
cold weather, Stage 4 loadshedding will resume at 08:00 until 22:00 tomorrow.
Loadshedding will persist throughout the
week as Eskom teams work around the clock to return as many of these generation
units to service as possible. Eskom will continue to communicate the stage of
loadshedding should there be any further developments. This loadshedding is
necessary in order to conserve and replenish emergency reserves while also
maintaining the stability of the power
system.
Eskom urges the people
of South Africa to help reduce electricity usage in order to ease the pressure
on the system.
