Sunday, 02 April 2023: On Monday, Stage 3 loadshedding will be implemented from 05:00 until 16:00, while Stage 4 loadshedding will be implemented from 16:00 to 05:00 on Tuesday. This pattern will be repeated daily until further notice. Eskom will publish a further update as soon as any significant changes occur.

Breakdowns are currently at 15 148MW of generating capacity while the generating capacity out of service for planned maintenance has increased to 7 417MW ahead of the winter period.

Over the past 24 hours, four generation units were returned to service at Kriel, Matimba, Matla and Tutuka power stations.

In the same period, a generating unit each at Duvha, Hendrina and Kriel power stations were taken offline for repairs. The delays in returning a unit to service at Duvha and Tutuka power stations have contributed to the capacity constraints.

We thank all South Africans who continue using electricity sparingly and efficiently in helping to alleviate the pressure on the power system.
