Eskom updates load-shedding timetable after breakdowns

Eskom has announced that it will maintain a schedule of stage 3 day-time load-shedding and stage 4 power cuts in the evenings until further notice.

As has become standard, the daytime schedule runs from 05:00 to 16:00 and the evening timeslot is 16:00 to 05:00 the following morning.

“Over the past 24 hours, two generating units at Tutuka Power Station were taken offline for repairs while two units at the Arnot Power were returned to service,” Eskom reported.

The state-owned power utility currently has 6,018MW offline for planned maintenance while breakdowns amount to 15,797MW of generating capacity.

“A further update will be published as soon as any significant changes occur,” Eskom stated.

“Eskom requests members of the public to continue assisting by reducing the usage and to sparingly use electricity.”
