Stage 4 loadshedding to be implemented between 2pm and 10pm, 9 June.

Published on

In a further blow for loadshedding fatigued South Africans, Loadshedding will be increased to Stage 4 from 14:00 this afternoon until 22:00 tonight, after which it will revert to Stage 2, as previously communicated by Eskom.

The power utility says this is due to additional breakdowns of a unit at Medupi and two units at Duvha Power Station, together with the high winter demand.

Eskom also says it needs to ration the remaining emergency generation reserves, which have been depleted.

Meanwhile, City of Cape Town customers will have Stage 3 load-shedding between 14:00 and 17:00. From 17:00 to 22:00, City-customers will have Stage 4 load-shedding.

Stage 2 loadshedding is expected to last until Sunday night 22:00. City of Cape Town customers can follow their latest updates on their Facebook or Twitter pages.
