Johannesburg – Eskom has announced that loadshedding will be increased to stage 4 from 2 pm today and will last until 10 pm.
“Eskom regrets to inform the public that Stage 4 loadshedding will be implemented from 14:00 this afternoon until 22:00 tonight,” Eskom said in a statement on Wednesday.
“This is in order to ration the remaining emergency generation reserves, which have been depleted. These emergency reserves are required to respond to further emergencies in order to maintain the stability of the national grid. Thereafter Stage 2 loadshedding will be implemented as previously communicated”.
“These capacity constraints will continue for the foreseeable future and all South Africans are urged to reduce their use of electricity. Eskom apologises for the inconvenience and uncertainty caused by these interruptions in electricity supply”.
