Stage 6 will be implemented every night between 20:00 and 05:00 until Saturday, with Stage 4 loadshedding scheduled for 05:00 until 20:00 every day.
Unplanned outages increased by 401 MW to 15 825 MW, whilst planned maintenance increased by 555 MW to 6 835 MW of generation capacity.
1 300 MW of generation capacity was returned to service in the last 24 hours. Eskom will closely monitor the power system and communicate any changes to loadshedding should it be required.
