Eskom has announced that there is a significant risk of up to stage 4 load-shedding being implemented at short notice this weekend after more than 10 months of uninterrupted electricity supply.

“This is a potentially temporary setback. Loadshedding is largely behind us due to the structural improvements in our generation fleet. However, over the past seven days, we have experienced several breakdowns that require extended repair times. This has necessitated the use of all our emergency reserves, which now need to be replenished. Consequently, we are closely monitoring the status of our current emergency reserves, and loadshedding up to Stage 4 may be implemented over the weekend.” said Eskom Group Chief Executive, Dan Marokane.

myDorpie has been expecting the possibility of load-shedding through the week.
