3 years ago 1

Eskom has reduced load-shedding from stage 5 to stage 4 from 05:00 on Friday.

The state-owned power utility said it would maintain this level of load-shedding until further notice.

“A full statement will be issued as soon as there [are] any further developments,” Eskom said.

Earlier in the week, Eskom increased load-shedding to stage 5 after four generating unit breakdowns at different power stations.

The return-to-service of some generating units had also been delayed.

Eskom planned to switch to an alternating stage 4/stage 5 schedule from Saturday.
