Eskom is expected to implement Stage 3 and 4 loadshedding over the weekend.
Loadshedding this weekend: Here’s what the picture looks like
Stage 3 loadshedding is expected to be implemented from 05:00 to 16:00 on Saturday, with Stage 4 returning from 16:00 to 05:00 on Sunday morning.
Eskom said currently, breakdowns at power stations remain high, keeping the country at Stages 5 and 4 until Friday, 3 March 2023.
Unplanned breakdowns amounted to 17 149MW, while planned maintenance outages totalled 4 950MW on Thursday, 2 March 2023.
“In the past 24 hours, a generating unit each at Camden, Lethabo and Tutuka power stations were returned to service.
“Breakdowns of a unit each at Duvha, Lethabo and Majuba caused units to be taken offline for repairs. The delay in returning to service a unit each at Kendal and Duvha power stations are contributing to the current capacity constraints,” Eskom said.
